Fullback Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Give me the Americans. When was the last time we played them in a competitive fixture? I think it would be fun to see how we compare and the potential for that upset would cause an absolute meltdown among their fan base. For the the other team I’d prefer one of Curaçao or Cuba. Teams we should beat imo but would still give us a good challenge. Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually was fancying T&T as an opponent for similar reasons, I don't think we have played them in a competitive match since 2000 when they knocked us out of Qualifying. Been waiting a long time for any kind of revenge, but as we are in the same pot as they are I guess it won't happen in the Nations League (though Gold Cup is still a possibility).

Just for fun, I decided to look back and see when Canada's last competitive fixtures were with the other League A teams: Mexico – 2016 2-0 L in Mexico City (2018 WCQ) United States – 2011 2-0 L in Detroit (2011 GC) Costa Rica – 2017 1-1 D in Houston (2017 GC) Honduras – 2017 0-0 D in Frisco (2017 GC) Panama – 2013 0-0 D in Denver (2013 GC) Haiti – 2007 0-2 W in Miami (2007 GC) T&T – 2000 4-0 L in Port of Spain (2002 WCQ) Martinique – 2013 0-1 L in Los Angeles (2013 GC) Cuba – 2012 3-0 W in Toronto (2014 WCQ) Curaçao - never (also applies to when they were the Netherlands Antilles) Bermuda – 1992 0-0 D in Hamilton, Bermuda (1994 WCQ) Edited March 27, 2019 by sloth8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch. Lets rectify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think T&T will likely be in our Gold Cup group for this reason; we can't draw them in Nations League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack15 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Want to avoid USA and Mexico (chance to advance to semis is none) from Pot A; would be good to get Costa Rica or Honduras and from Pot C; I do not want to play vs Martinique (No FIFA pts) or Bermuda (meaningless/fluke), however if we get Cuba or Curacao I will be happy Summary: No - USA, Mexico, Martinique, Bermuda Yes - Costa Rica, Honduras, Cuba, Curacao I hope we set up friendlies with teams from Pot B: Panama, Haiti, Trinidad or from League B: Jamaica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Obviously the idea would be to avoid playing same opponent twice, so besides the gold cup, I think variety is good and from our own region!

At first I assumed it would be a schedule similar to the WC, with teams drawn into predetermined groups and schedules but the more I think about the more I think you're right and Concacaf is going to Concacaf this. Look at this page: http://www.concacafnationsleague.com/en/video/official-draw-2019-concacaf-nations-league The have made it clear. There is no schedule; there are just groups. We will NOT know WHEN we are playing. We will only know WHO we are playing. BuzzAndSting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Sorry to double-post but another thing to note is that I would place a wager on a home game (or two) in September: There are no Argos game between August 25th and September 20th.http://www.argonauts.ca/schedule/ No TFC games between August 24th and September 15thhttp://www.torontofc.ca/schedule There are no BC Lions games between August 24th and September 13thhttp://www.bclions.com/schedule/ There are no Whitecaps games August 31st and September 14thhttp://www.whitecapsfc.com/schedule No games at Saputo between August 31st and September 14thhttp://www.impactmontreal.com/en/schedule If we play at home in October, I'd guess it won't be at BMO Field but maybe BC Place.

SpursFlu Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Maybe im stating the obvious but how great will it be to have some relevant games being played in Canada next fall against US, Panama etc. Hopefully they move around the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
