SpursFlu Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 They have a similar story to Canada and CPL but 5 years ahead. Look in to it. Sport growing in popularity, new league and it's well supported. Traditional sports making way for soccer. When it comes to athletics they're very competent people. Not a small country either and compared to other countries in the region they have some resources. I don't know too much about the country but seeing the. In Champions league made me wonder so read up a bit. My bold prediction for the day Keegan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Why does anyone even converse with tg11? It’s clear he’s a troll since he seemingly ignores the thousands of comments that have been made calling him a troll but hangs onto every other comment posters make here. Somehow in his infinite knowledge he is able to comment on Dominican Republic yet he can’t even name teams in the prem? Anyways, good call on DR I’ve been thinking for years that their time will come. If Mariano and Raul Tomas ever commit to them they’ll have one of the best strikeforces in concacaf.

Guest Tg11 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) That is some bold prediction but if anything Canada, Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica, El Salvador and Suriname will qualify Edited July 12, 2018 by Tg11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tg11 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I had Guatemala for my top 6 as an original prediction until I read that they apparently can't take part in the Nations League which is why I changed my pick to Suriname Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Cuba have to play Haiti right? Also Suriname and El Salvador have to play Jamaica. Curacao has a lot of Dutch trained talent who are playing in the EPL, Championship, Belgian Pro League and Eredivisie (aka the league you want Davies in). Suriname and Cuba have mostly only Domestic based players. Edited July 12, 2018 by matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How if they have to play Haiti? Are they going to beat or draw Haiti? Are two teams that play each other going to go forward? Have you actually looked at the draws or are you just saying shit to say shit? Edited July 12, 2018 by matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It's 16 teams at the Gold Cup next year. So 10 teams from the qualifiers will actually make the Gold Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 DR just had a team in the Champions League, didn't they? They got trounced by a Mexican side, Club America I think, but perhaps that experience, coupled with the ostensity of qualifying for CL, prepares them for a run in Nations league qualifying? Especially if the core of THAT team is the core of their national side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) That Dominican team qualified by winning CONCACAFs version of the intertoto cup against teams from all over the region so they must be half decent despite getting run over by Chivas. edit: no they didn’t but they won the CFU club championship so just as well. another interesting fact, the Dominican Republic has played more friendlies than Canada this year.

Makes no difference as long as it’s official. I was pretty sure that 7 years ago we (voyageurs in general, not me and you) had a conversation about this. Memory is fuzzy. But how can it be an official FIFA match if it is between a FIFA member (Canada) and a non-FIFA member (FG, Guadelupe, etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won last year and this year.. 2 different teams as well. So theyll be another team in next year.

Not exactly as NT dominated as I was expecting... But that being said, I do think there is something to be said about Cibao qualifying ahead of teams like Athletico Pantoja and O&M, which have more NT heavy squads.

The responders just can't help themselves and must argue or counter every point that even a clear imbecile makes. I feel sorry for their wives. It must be hell living with them (and don't interpret that as me saying their wives are imbeciles as that is not my point)., Alex, Keegan, Shway and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
