That's an easy 2 points or so for El Salvador. @Kyle_The_Hill can probably give us a more exact number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or ES to drop points to Belize somehow. That’s a tall task though, they’re a legit minnow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 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.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Panama just drew 0-0 with Nicaragua. Being outside the FIFA window, Panama was far from being at full strength: http://twitter.com/fepafut/status/1232455886112575489 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpursFlu Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 By the time the HEX rolls around we could have David playing just say Arsenal, Larin in the prem with Leeds and of course Davies. Canada would be a legit draw and just a really exciting team that even neutrals would tune in for. Concacaf really needs Canada in the HEX johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 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.

theaub Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) 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. costarg, CanadaFan123, Shway and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.......

Sigh. https://eloratings.net/CONCACAF (BTW, did someone finally exterminate the BedBugs? I wonder how long until they return as CockRoaches!) El Salvador is ranked 10th on there lol.
