I didn't spend much time on Curacao and I am going off of memory, but I think we are ahead of Panama by a bit, ahead of Curacao by a tiny bit, and about 6 points behind El Salvador.

An Observer Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) The one thing I would say about the World Cup Qualifying format is that its made the Concacaf Nations League quite exciting as all these games matter so much for the sides in probably the 4-10 FIFA rankings for the region which has made it more exciting for the fans.

CanadianSoccerFan Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) I don't think that was El Salvador's last loss. Montserrat still has two cracks at them. Herdman is rattling off the ranking math in his press conference. Knows exactly how many points Panama and El Salvador dropped and mentions the 18 points at stake against the US in October.

Kent Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I don't want to get greedy, but if Honduras loses to T&T all of a sudden they could be in play if we do well against the USA. CanadianSoccerFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Lost in all the excitement for Canada is the fact that El Salvador's loss means Montserrat now leads that group at the moment. It would be great to see them qualify for the Gold Cup after they had come so close last time around. Gian-Luca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I expect us to be in 7th in CONCACAF when the next rankings come out. Curaçao and Panama will be right behind us, but not too far, but I think Curaçao has the best chance at unseating El Salvador.

Yeah, for as beatable as the USA seems to be, Costa Rica is probably the easier opponent by a healthy margin.

jtpc Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Can't wait for the next rankings update on September 19th. 6th is definitely in play now for the Hex. Get that November friendly finalized! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that groups a toss up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Mexico down 2-0 to Argentina midway through the 1st half, live on onesoccer Edit - now 3-0 still in the first half. Argentina is sticking it to their old coach! 2nd Edit - 4-0 still in the first half. Araujo, the same dude that got stripped by David of the ball leading to our goal against them is having another woeful night.

king1010 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Well not all results going our way tn. Honduras leading chile 2-1 in injury time. El Salvador may be the only team vulnerable to drop out of the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Maybe we should try to convince the US they are a footy superpower - emphasizing that they have already made the hex anyway - so they will take a weak side for the rest of the CNL...
