Also we had a group of Honduras, Panama and Cuba last cycle. What happened? Like in my example, there were three teams that had a shot to advance, and we were the team that didn't. That's what happened. Having a higher seeding guarantees a team nothing, but it slants the odds in their favour. That was my point and the 2014 cycle doesn't disprove that.

theaub Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Canada needed to be 18th in the world to get a top three seed. At the time of the draw, they were 122nd. If someone is actually going to claim the match against El Salvador 'matters' if we get trounced by Honduras because of FIFA points they are being...well, obtuse.

We’ve really worked for this and will show we’re capable of making it to the next phase. That means first getting a good result at home, then finishing the job in Canada,” he insisted."

aloyol Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Assuming El Salvador doesn't win against Mexico tonight and that Mexico will win by at least one goal against Honduras, this would mean we need a 5-0 win over El Salvador. Is this completely impossible to do at home against an indifferent El Salvador squad? The strategy for this game will be to try to score as many goals as we can. Don't care about the Mexico-Honduras game, just assume Mexico will win, then try to score early against El Salvador and keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete Homer Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Larin - Ricketts (Might as well mimic TFC, it's worked) Hoilett - Hutchinson - Arfield - Akindele Edgar James - Jakovic - Vitoria 3-1-4-2, might as well surprise them. We've got nothing but our remaining dignity to lose and everything to gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about Floro, then yeah, next game for sure. However, that wasn't our problem today. We got scored against in a counter attack.

They would want to perform well against Honduras at home after a so-so result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apbsmith Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Just posted in other thread . Crazy atmosphere there right now. Respect to El Salvador going for it. They must think they can win out. Played guns a blazing first 10 mins. Mexicans looked lost and disorganized but slowly starting to put it together. A small Mexican win or tie is perfect . An el Salvador victory would be a disaster..... as they could beat us and advance still . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanSuffer Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 57 minutes ago, king1010 said: 4-0 win and 1-0 honduras loss would see us through Correct. In this scenario. We'd still be tied with Honduras on GD at -1 and we would end up winning all the way down at tie-breaker #7 away goals (James' header in the first half!). However, change the above scenario to 4-0 win and 2-1 honduras loss, and Honduras goes thru on tie-breakder #3 goals scored At least that's the way I read it .... Tie Breakers (from Wikipedia) Points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss) Goal difference Goals scored Points in matches between tied teams Goal difference in matches between tied teams Goals scored in matches between tied teams Away goals scored in matches between tied teams (if the tie is only between two teams) Play-off match(es) on neutral ground (if approved by FIFA Organizing Committee), with extra time and penalty shoot-out if necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apbsmith Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Yup & because proper tactics have been installed since youth levels. I could see them holding on, park the bus with proper counter attack, while staying FOCUSED. El Salvador by far superior team in this match.
