narduch Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 16 minutes ago, Free kick said: I see some ppl assuming that CRC will be a hostile evironment to visiting team in the same way that other central american countries are. Its not. Costa Rica is quite different from Panama, Hon and ES. There shouldnt be too much difference between playing in the US or Mexico and playing in CRC. I could be wrong but i dont even think that they have steel fences around the pitch in CRC. It will be a large and supportive crowd, of course. But not a dangerous crowd. I'm more worried about Navas stoning us and the game ends 0-0. But that may be enough to qualify us that day anyways. Costa Rica are one of the lowest scoring teams in the Octagonal too.

I swear that even a draw is enough for us to qualify because it would give us 26 points heading into the Jamaica match at home Free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of play in every game I’ve watched has been so bad. They’d go far…I also think Canada could take on any qualified team from Asia. The AFCON tourney has been poor, which is disappointing given some of the talent there. In addition to the mediocre play (lots of low blocks, play not to concede tactics), you see half full stadiums, some empty, and fans died in a stampede outside a stadium.

I don't know how we would fare against the physicality of a Senegal or a Cameroon though A good shot against any CAF country is a good way of putting it. After watching more than a few replay matches over the last month...I don't think Canada could dominate, by any means. Domination would require the same type of combination of ability, determination, timing and luck we have seen so far in qualifying. 3 hours ago, TGAA_Star said: Especially if Canada gets an African team in its group, I wonder if Canada will be able to keep up? At some point, maybe some of the posters with significant CAF knowledge will chime in with some comparisons, different countries as they compare to Canada and other CONCACAF nations we are more familiar with? There's more than a few I have seen posting here. TGAA_Star and Approve My Account Pls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoginess Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Not at all likely to happen at all but also wanted to note that Costa Rica can still catch us. If they win out and we lose out (again... not likely). under that scenario, Costa Rica would have at worst a GD of 4 and we would have at best 11. They would need to find 7 more (and of course goals against us would be a double whammy) I was hoping we’d clinch top 4 this window but we’re talking about the luxuries of luxury being able to guarantee a spot so early.

You are right about CRC catching us, but if they did that would also result in the USA or PAN not catching us at the same time. So we have actually clinched at least 4th already. rdb9ty, Allez les Rouges, Ivan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, from a skills/tactics point of view, teams like Japan and South Korea are more than a match for us. Their passing/interplay is next level. johnyb, Free kick, JamboAl and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGAA_Star Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Canada if we win our last 3 qualifiers against Costa Rica, Jamaica and Panama and we go undefeated in qualifying, I wonder if our world ranking we would move into the top 20 as far as top 20 in the world? We would have to especially if we finish unbeaten in qualifying without losing a game in qualifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win our next 3 games we will get about 31 points, which would get us up to about 1528 points. Poland at the moment is in 28th spot with 1530 points. Wales in 20th has 1578 points. So we might make it into the top 30, depending on what other teams do, but definitely not top 20.
