devioustrevor Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I've seen many games so far played at this stadium in Anguilla because of the Nations League, and I am always shocked just how poor the condition is. When we hosted two WCQ games vs. Belize (I think it was 2004) at Richardson Stadium in Kingston I thought that the condition of the field then was unworthy, but compared to this field in Anguilla, Richardson is Wembley.

devioustrevor Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Grenada scores on a howler by Puerto Rico's keeper. If Grenada wins, Guadeloupe falls to League C. We could end up with Guadeloupe and Guatemala in League C. That seems absolutely unfair to the rest of League C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that was part of his demands and apparently even accepted a call up before rejecting due to his brother or step brother not being called as well.

Keegan Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Just now, devioustrevor said: Wasn't Bailey unlikely to play unless his brother was given a pity spot on the team anyways? Yeah that's what they say, he was apparently going to come in October but they wouldn't call his half-brother who plays in the Austrian 2nd division. https://us.soccerway.com/players/kyle-butler/498367/ The brother looks low level to be fair, almost like Hoilett demanding we call up Janeil.

Guest Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I’m surprised Puerto Rico didn’t get a single point. Their goal differential was only -5. They didn’t score a goal either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testament to Kyle Lightbourne after his long career in England getting this success with a handful of pros. Nakhi Wells can be a handful for the major nations Guyana qualifying is mad too, and it will be insane if Montserrat get it if Nicaragua fail to win in Barbados. 6 of Montserrat players are all close mates who grew up in the same area having had grandparents and parents who emigrated to London following the displacement, thats quite a story Was routing for Dom. Rep to pull through as i would of been curious to see if they got to the Gold Cup, the small pool of players they could potentially call up, is quite impressive. Mariano Diaz & Raul De Tomas both of Real Madrid for a start. Im sure more players over here in England will be checking for eligibility! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtpc Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Unless Nicaragua wins by 7, the 6 countries qualifying for League A will be: Haiti Canada Martinique Curaçao Bermuda Cuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Haiti score late to beat Cuba 2-1. They technically finish first ahead of us on more goals scored according to Wikipedia, not that it really matters one jot to us. I believe the result confirms Bermuda to League A however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 So Haiti finish on top of qualifying, thanks to having 1 goal more than Canada but both go into the same pot so no big deal. Last question is if it's Montserrat or Nicaragua in the Gold Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtpc Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Assuming Nicaragua doesn't pull off something incredible, I think these will be the pots for Wednesday's League A draw. November 2018 CONCACAF ranking in brackets: Pot 1 - Mexico (1), USA (2), Costa Rica (3), Honduras (4)Pot 2 - Panama (5), Canada (7), Haiti (10), Trinidad and Tobago (11)Pot 3 - Martinique (12), Cuba (13), Curaçao (15), Bermuda (23) Blackjack15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Canada-US matches would prove strong drawing games and would result it a very vocal, likely most vocal, Canadian fanbase in both games.

MM3/MM2/MM Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I would take Cuba, would give us a better match, agree with the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtpc Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Definitely agree with both of you on being in a group with the US. I'd prefer not to get Mexico or Honduras, but I really don't want Martinique. After not getting any FIFA points against FG in the 2017 GC or tonight's qualifier, boy would it ever suck to have that happen again. I'll be ticked if 2 of our 4 group stage matches don't count for ranking points. Anyone but Martinique from pot 3 please.

red card Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I was at BMO last time US played in Canada, atmosphere was ordinary. Small group of Americans made the trip. No goals probably contributed to it. On the women's side it is a different story. I prefer Mexico or the Central Americans since our achilles heel is playing in their stadiums.

Gian-Luca Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 0-0 early in the 2nd half between Barbados & Nicaragua.
