I'd be down with that. Frankly, if they could somehow get the Canadian rights to the African Cup of Nations, I would be hard into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Interesting watching Bahamas vs Antigua and Barbuda (score is now 0-3, oops, actually 0-4 now as I write this, end of the 1st half...). According to the CONCACAF site, Bahamas(31) are 2 spots above Dominica (33 for our region) and they are getting pretty solidly outclassed by A&B (21). Given that we are ranked 7 and arguably on the upswing from that - and playing at home on a cool Toronto night, we really should hit them pretty hard. I know anything can happen, but we really should push hard to fill the net. Would be nice for some of the guys to start putting up good numbers for the Nats. Also seems safe to say that should be able to get a few new guys on the pitch without threatening the result in any way. Really though, I just wanted to post again because I am having so much fun watching this tourney.

devioustrevor Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 WOW Really poor defending by Bahamas. Loose ball in the 6-yard box in front of the keeper and the defender casually rolls the ball along the ground right to an Antiguan attacker. No wonder they were down 4-0 at halftime.

Keegan Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Pressure is on Tuesday to crush, if we don’t I fear we can’t finish first because of some of these teams crushing. 8-0 was good but when you see some of these other results it makes you wonder..

I will freely admit that I know so little about these teams that i couldn't offer any kind of informed prediction. That is one of the neat parts about this league - it is educating me about the teams in our federation. Right now I have to Oz window open, the wikipedia page showing the round 1 CNL scores, and the CONCACAF rankings page. Beauty. Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devioustrevor Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I don't know how the Bermuda vs. Antigua game ended. Stream dinked out in the 80th minute with Antigua up 6-0 Former TFC player Reggie Lamb currently has a brace, and has missed two good chances for a hattrick. Bermuda 9 Sint Maarten 0.

dyslexic nam Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I am not seeing the links for the other games I listed above (DR vs CI and Grenada vs Cuba). I just pulled them off wikipedia, but the commentators on the Bermuda-SM game just referenced them so I assume they are happening. Just not seeing the option to watch them yet.

Yeah, will be interesting to see how consistent the scores are between rounds. Cuba is only beating them 1-0 in the 27th minute which is no where near on track for the 10-0 hammering they got from Curacao. Alternatively, Cayman Islands are already down 2-0 to DR, whereas Jamaica only put 4 past them on Day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal differential obviously is has an effect in this preliminary table. I was meaning more in regards to FIFA rankings. I'm interested if finishing with a +20 GD in this round instead of a +25 could mean we end up playing the likes of Mexico or USA earlier in the next WCQ cycle.

dyslexic nam Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 On an unrelated note, the Oz app/website won't let me stream 2 matches at once on my comp. And the warning that pops up says that playback has started on another device, so I assume it is only one stream per account at any given time. Not that it is in any way unreasonable, but it would be cool to stream 2 matches at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devioustrevor Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I just switch back and forth. Although the Bahamas vs. Antigua and Barbuda one completely crashed on me shortly before the 80th minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
