It also doesn't help their cause that Andre Blake has been horrible in goal. Gifted El Salvador a goal by dropping a free kick, and gifted them two other opportunities with a horrible kick and a horrible throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devioustrevor Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 2-0 Jamaica isn't even playing like a team trying to score, so El Salvador will take the points tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devioustrevor Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 ...and now Darron Mattocks with a Red Card for getting his cleats up on a challenge. Everything going wrong for Jamaica in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Looks like Jamaica and El Salvador will both start in League B. Jamaica should have won that match but played down to El Salvador's level. Both goals were literally handed to ES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I think this result with Jamaica losing qualifies us for the Gold Cup without even playing tomorrow. Even if we lost by a really large margin the lowest we could finish would be 8th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Canada would have to lose 6-0 to fall behind Jamaica now in the standings, as they are on 9 points with a plus 9 goal differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah if we lost like 12-0 we’d drop below monsteratt and could fall out of the gold cup depending on other results nfitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we lost by a really large margin the lowest we could finish would be 8th place. Technically I don't think we have qualified yet. There are currently 9 teams with at least 9 points (one of which, Martinique, has 12). 3 more could potentially join - one of Dominican Republic or Bermuda, Nicaragua and French Guiana. If we lost 6-0 to French Guiana, I believe they and Jamaica would move ahead of us in the standings on goal differential as well as Guyana who are on plus 11. We would also fall behind Cuba who are plus 14 (unless they also lose 6-0 to Haiti). So we would drop to 9th in that scenario. Then it would be a matter of seeing whether any of DR, Bermuda (who are on plus 11) and Nicaragua would finish ahead on superior goal differential as well. But it is pretty astronomical in terms of the chances of all of this happening, the 2-0 win for El Salvador made it more likely that we have qualified.

Gian-Luca Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Huge blow for Jamaica though.....they have to hope that either Canada loses 6-0 or Cuba loses 5-0 to qualify for League A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Looking very likely that either Bermuda or Guyana will be in League A, which is insane.. For Bermuda it's all or or nothing - they win and they're in the Gold Cup and League A, anything else and they're in League B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nicaragua beats Barbados and their is a winner in the Bermuda-Dominican Republic game, Montserrat will still miss out on the Gold Cup. I just realized Montserrat, a nation with less than 5k people, has a very good chance at qualifying for the Gold Cup. Any combo Canada def. or draw F.G. (we'll win), Bermuda draw DR or Barbados draw or def. Nicagagua get them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack15 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Very shocking surprises tonight with Curacao losing 2-1 to Antigua & Barbuda, Suriname knocking out St Kitts 2-0, and El Salvador getting the job done against Jamaica at home with a packed crowd at Estadio Cuscatlan A big congratulations to Forge's Emery Welshman who scored the GWG sending Guyana to the Gold Cup for the first time ever! Having a player at the regions official tournament looks good for the CPL Quite happy that Canada will finish first should they win tomorrow by any score line as Martinique are the only undefeated side of CNLQ but with a GD of +8 Rooting for Dominican Republic and Nicaragua tomorrow so the finish Top 10 as opposed to (no offence) lower ranked countries like Bermuda and Monserrat who know one knows about. Still would be cool but for marketing purposes and commercial reasons it's important to have the most recognizable Nations at this summers tournament and I think that's happened/will occur Bbeto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the idea of that entire island, that's never even made it to the Caribbean Cup, cheering as they play their first ever match in a tournament almost everyone assumed they would never make it to. It's the stuff of BBC human interest docs or a TV movie. Edited March 24, 2019 by matty Kent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. I still think the program itself had higher expectations than you probably give them credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
