According to this source this friendly is almost confirmed. Still looking for more information : El Salvador vs Belize next March 31

If true, then ****!

That's an easy 2 points or so for El Salvador.

@Kyle_The_Hill can probably give us a more exact number.

Yeah that’s bad for us for sure. We REALLY need Panama to beat ES. Or ES to drop points to Belize somehow. That’s a tall task though, they’re a legit minnow.

With two of the brightest stars in Concacaf in Davies and David, it would be a real travesty for Canada and the Concacaf federation if we fail to make the Hex. That would be a total lost opportunity to showcase the new generation of talented players that are being developed ...the type of players that can raise fans from their seats with performances that result in standing ovations. The CSA really needs to do everything in their  power to try and make this happen.....it's all hands on deck.

El Salvador lost to Dominican Republic and Bermuda recently. So I’d say it’s definitely possible they can drop points. 

It's possible. Belize have had very mixed results recently:

Panama just drew 0-0 with Nicaragua.

Being outside the FIFA window, Panama was far from being at full strength:

@Kyle_The_Hill , I assume Panama's ranking has dropped by about 1¼ or so from 1304 to 1303. Next up for up them is Guatemala next week before their late March game vs El Salvador.

Yep, they lost 1.13, down to 1303 now.

Still no word on tickets for the second game...  Hey Victoria folks: anybody have contacts at Langford City Centre Park? We should organize a party of concerned citizens to volunteer to clean their roof on March 31st...

This may be heresy and I think we need to all we can to to get to the Hex...and it is really dumpster fire of a format...and... 

But if our players keep improving, like they have been, I am increasing optimistic about our chances if we have to go the other way. Probably.

The other way isn't so bad as long as we don't draw South America in the playoff.

The one thing with the repechage, is that if you assume that US/Mexico/Costa Rica take the top three spots, we're going to have the two best players in every single CONCACAF playoff we're in.

The downside being that one (or two) ill-timed injuries will cause a lot of problems.

David and Davies are growing so fast, but I don't want us to be a two-trick pony. Call me greedy, but I want another young player to emerge. The best hope right now seems to be Millar. 

I am optimistic that Millar will become an elite player but I also have hope that Eustaquio will become a talent that can play a role almost as important to our overall results as the dynamic duo. At just 23 he is another one that will be with us for the next decade and can provide a vital link to these two and has impressed me with what I have seen so far.

We need two center backs to emerge!  I believe Miller can be one in a few years if he gets the playing time.  Tomori was the chosen one, the one that would bring balance to the force, but i digress.......

Just to illustrate how shite the FIFA rankings are, here are the latest ELO World Rankings (CONCACAF only), which have Canada 5th, ahead of the Boyz in 6th and comfortably ahead of Haiti in 7th, the other team that would need to overtake us to knock us out of the top 6. Sigh.

(BTW, did someone finally exterminate the BedBugs? I wonder how long until they return as CockRoaches!)

El Salvador is ranked 10th on there lol. Absolutely ridiculous that they’ll be in the hex

don't know where else to post this but apparently there's negotiations about another possible concacaf + conmebol tournament in 2024, ala Copa America Centenario in 2016

Would be a great learning experience for us if we were to qualify before World Cup 2026.

And now Panama just beat Guatemala in Guatemala City last night so their ranking will go back up.

More importantly, Panama will feel that they can go into San Salvador and get the win. The more confidence they have, the better.
