Canada if we qualify for Qatar, then here is hoping we don't have to take part in qualifying for 2026 considering we are hosting the damn thing. They still haven't confirmed yet if we get an automatic qualification spot. I wonder what is taking so long for FIFA to confirm if whether or not Canada, USA and Mexico get automatic qualification into 2026?

I think that's the clothes hanger showing through.

I believe we will qualify for 2022 if only because I don't want all us long suffering supporters go through another 4 years of suffering and trying to figure out how the fuck did we go from first after 8 games to what would be a complete meltdown to most of us here.😎

Honduras hasn’t gotten a win yet and their home record is poor. At the very minimum I want us to come out of that game with a draw despite them being our bogey team. Two of the easiest away games come from this window, so we need to get atleast 1 win from the two

Yep when I think about Honduras away I don't even think about 8-1, the last time we went there we lost 2-1 and didn't look bad. And now they've gotten worse and we've gotten better.

And AFAIK the fans are pissed with the team and the federation.

we've already slayed many dragons this WCQ. We tied USA away. We got a result in Azteca. We beat the Mexicans at home. I don't see any reason why this team can't go down to Central America and slay a few more dragons. This team has the capacity to do it

Well, for one reason they don't have dragons in Central America. They have iguanas.

Joking aside, I agree with you 100%.

9 Canucks start in the Canadian Championship. Phenomenal. For about 2/3 full, Stade Saputo sounded LOUD. Well done and congrats CF Montreal👏🎉

[P-O]

Really hoping Camacho stays with Montreal or in the worst case go to Vancouver or Toronto.

 

He is that close to be Canadian and I believe he would be an upgrade in defence alongside Vitoria for the national team.

Don't see him going anywhere. Been a huge season from him. He would add to our depth. Not convinced he would start for Canada. That said, plenty of games he has looked the best CB for Montreal and Miller gets games. We might be able to play the entire Montreal back line in January!

At 30 years old he isn’t really a player I am interested in.  Is an MLS journeymen CB really someone we need to recruit?

Having watched Camacho since he came into the league, I would say he isn't an upgrade to Vitoria. Maybe Henry. It all depends on which one hss the least brain farts.

[P-O]

Never said he was an upgrade on Vitoria.

I think he is an upgrade on players both side of him.

Can play a diagonal they can't.

So you mean an upgrade over Johnston and Miller? 
 

I’m sorry but even though he’s been good this year, never in a million years I would swap Camacho for one of those two. One of the strongest thing about our back 3 (Miller/Vittoria/Johnston) is the fact that they play mostly  mistake free, Camacho is the opposite of mistake free. As a Montreal fan I trust him less than Doneil in that regard. I’ll gladly take a couple less diagonals for the coolness of Johnston and Miller.

[Free kick]

Thanks.   just wondering,  there are only 7 assists credited in the whole 8 games.   There has to be more than that.   How did Laryea not get credited with an assist on that first goal that Atiba scored against El Salvador?

He did. Added.

Even though those guys on ESPN FC still aren't quite giving our guys enough credit, they have come a lot closer than they did back in 2019 when we beat USA.

And to be fair, it doesn't seem to just be anti-Canadian. Gomez was still giving the crown to Mexico despite them not winning anything this year. Admittedly, all 3 of their losses to the USA came in the USA, but it still doesn't make them look like the best in CONCACAF.

I can only imagine the guys like Stevie Nicol, Craig Burley, Shaka Hislop, Sebastian Salazar, Herculez Gomez, and company especially if Canada qualify

Herc Gomez has been giving Canada lots of credit the last two international breaks.  Seems genuinely impressed with the skill on the team

The other guys are mostly useless.  The guys on Paramount and MLS are much better than the ESPN crew.  Gomez has been good in English and Spanish since the start.

Sportsnet seem to be moving their CMNT coverage more mainstream since they got the Ocho games and the team's starting to make noise. Stories on both the Daves' club matches in the CL this morning on the main page.

And if Canada qualify for Qatar, all our World Cup games won't just be on CTV or on TSN but they most likely would be on Sportsnet too

Because I know for Qatar 2022, as far as Canadian broadcasting rights, CTV and TSN have exclusive rights but I can see Sportsnet wanting in on it too

TSN: This is outstanding. Our millions of dollars invested in the rights for the World Cup is going to be massive for us now that Canada has qualified. This could be our most watched World Cup ever in Canada!
<phone rings>
TSN: Hello?
Sportsnet: Hi TSN.
TSN: Hi Sportsnet, what's up?
Sportsnet: Not sure if you saw the news, but Canada qualified for the World Cup. We'd love to steal millions of your viewers, so can we also show the games?
TSN: Yeah sure, I don't see why not.
