SpursFlu Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Is that for real that El Salvador friendly schedule? Are they nuts? I think the Iceland game in LA is balsy but makes sense. Vs USA and 2 games in Europe seems like suicide sstackho and Kyle_The_Hill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 El Salvador has a decent ex-pat population in the States and will likely be paid by a promoter for those games in January. Fair play to their FA for capitalizing on this advantage. They’ll probably lose all those games, though. They are seriously horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win against a couple weak opponents, get 10ish ranking points, let El Salvador self destruct. This seems like a very bad idea for El Salvador, I’d be surprised if they didn’t lose more points than they gain. sstackho and Kyle_The_Hill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The play starts and finishes the with ES striker in an offside position. While he is just offside when the cross is delivered, that is nowhere near the level of some of the more egregious calls we've seen from CONCACAF referees in the past.

I think someone mentioned that the assistant referee was out of position and from that angle he misses the offside position at the moment the ball is played.

Even if it’s 2.5 per loss which is conservative I think, that’s 10 points. So we’d still have to make up about 5 points which we could easily do against minnows.

They would lose 1.8 for a loss to Iceland and 1.5 for a loss to USA, since they are outside the window. The March window games would likely be 5 points lost each.

Eh this one's pretty bad. Even though he's not offside by a lot, at no point in the entire buildup is he ever onside, so this should be an extremely routine call for a linesman who is standing in line with the last defender. johnyb, Kyle_The_Hill, yomurphy1 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aloyol Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Maybe they are just using those friendlies to see whether they are competitive enough for the Hex? Getting some results would give them confidence and loosing all 4 games could send them in the 7-35 path which is better than finishing last in the Hex.

Obinna Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Maybe El Salvador are trying NOT to qualify for the Hex! They arguably a better chance in the minnow route than finishing 4th.

SpursFlu Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 As I said before. There might be something to this theory. I think it would have to do more with money. Maybe they feel like they can make more money going thru the qualifying process coupled with maybe the CSA just has to make them an offer they can't refuse to play a home and away. I know a game billed as a win and your in vs El Salvador would sell big in Vancouver at BC Place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should start monitoring their fan forums and see if they are equally as pissed off that they are unexpectedly in the hex and upset at how destroyed they are goin to get.

BrennanFan Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 15 mins into El Salvador v. Dominican Rep. 1-0 ES. DR playing way too open. I appreciate the bravery but they had to bunker like Montserrat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apbsmith Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Watching on the bet365 feed. 1-0 at halftime. Pretty open could easily be 2-2 to be honest. I'm not confident that DR can pull off a result but I guess anything could happen. Man, after watching 3-4 El Salvador games the last few months, no way ES would agree to play us in friendlies, if they truly do want to be in the hex. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apbsmith Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) 46th minute and El Salvador have started their shananigans. Two players both down cause they must have got "shot by the invisible sniper" in the crowd. Update: 65th minute and at 5-6 El Salvador Injured players, miraculously all have recovered, gotta love CONCACAF.
