So basically he was just looking for clickbait before actually looking it up. But yah, that wouldn't surprise me one bit if that was just the most concacaf thing ever 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scullion44 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Obviously this is assuming we win tonight but it would have been nice if they didn’t swap the order of the matches for the final day so we could know what result is best to avoid a semi final with Mexico.

SpursFlu Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Conspiracy alert, Conspiracy alert If we finish 1st.. considering the once in a lifetime Mexico draw v T&T.. look for a Mexico El Salvador draw The swapping of the order smells to me.

No - our match is before Mexico / El Salvador i don’t believe Mexico will try to game the result anyway. It would look pretty pathetic and their fans won’t have that.

narduch Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I still think Mexico wins their group. El Salvador is still trash. And the Mexican media would not be happy if they don't get a result. Obinna and The Real Marc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to have an additional 2 days rest on whoever we face in the quarters.. if we make it. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpursFlu Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I think Rodan and Zavelleta are nice additions. I know tfc fans don't rate Zavelleta but its never a bad thing to have a defender over 5'7" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts matter But what i was really trying to say after talking to a couple guys from El Salvador.. the back line and putting the ball in the net has been a weakness. They can ole people and win the middle of the field but adding a solid cb is a good pickup for them Edited July 15, 2021 by SpursFlu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume players are in bubbles to minimize risk, so it's interesting how and why certain players end up testing positive. I doubt he was out at Universal Studios or Disney Land. My guess is that he already had trace amounts of Sars Cov 2 in his system but it came in under the testing threshold. Now the trace amounts are large enough to come in over the testing threshold. And now he has to sit out, sucks for him and Jamaica fans. He was very good in the first match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an article in the Jamaican press it specifically says the players are not in a bubble but are taking “appropriate precautions.” not sure if that’s the case for all teams. also they have already been tested 4 times so would be odd for him to just pass the threshold now unless he recently caught it Edited July 15, 2021 by Floortom Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hate to be cynical but I’d suspect that a lot of these guys with tentative ties to their country are taking the opportunity to go out in the US. Obinna and cronaldo7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
