Yeah, that would really suck.

It may be a 3-0 forfeit

That would oddly be unfortunate given the tie break is GD and we'd like the chance to run up the score!

This could become a farce like the U24, if goal differences are to be used it must be a level playing field, a 3-0 win in a match we would probably have twice that is very unfortunate, it will come down to winning out I suppose!

The problem is that Suriname already played them. Maybe the solution is to disregard the Suriname - Cayman result and only count games versus Bermuda and Aruba? Assuming Canada and Suriname remain tied before the last match.

Possibly tomorrow at 6PM et

Sucks for our Euro based players who will get back a day later

To play devils advocate .. Suriname only won 3-0 against Cayman Islands so we’re still in a better position than them. We get to play Aruba still while they have to face a stronger Bermuda.

That would be what would happen if the world was fair.  Unfortunately we are Canada so you may want to bite the pillow cuz this may hurt.

A source with knowledge of the situation tells The Inquirer that Cayman Islands vs. Canada - being played at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. - is tentatively rescheduled for tomorrow (Monday) at 6 p.m. ET.

It is going to be a nightmare for Concacaf to figure out, this was always a risk during a pandemic and playing in Florida!

And FIFA?

If this is true we will for sure lose some of our Euro squad who I imagine are flying back tomorrow.

Evening ruined. Unlucky

[toontownman]

Make the coaching staff play. Come on.

Jokes aside how is a day changing anything?

[N1ckbr0wn]

Once again, until I read something directly from CSA/CONCACAF/FIFA then I take these tweeters with a blue check Mark as speculation only

[CanadaFan123]

Wildly unprofessional that they haven’t announced anything officially yet.

True there won't be any recovery and we will most likely be losing most of our Euro based players!

[narduch]

Apparently the ref crew will not be available tomorrow.

I mean, even Sharman is saying it's postponed. He's hosting today's pre-game show on OneSoccer.

One soccer is still having the 3:30 et show

Not unprofessional at all.  Unprofessional would be announcing something and then having to take it back a number of times.  Maybe there’s a lot of things to confirm before they can announce anything.

You realize there is a middle ground right? Announce that the facts. I.e positive tests and evaluation of game time.

In an ideal world, yes.  Unfortunately, that’s not how official communications and media works.

Opting to remove post. 

Hope they figure it out.

Regardless of your opinions on covid, I was a bit surprised they picked Florida to play all the games.

It's the double-edged sword.

The only reason Florida is available to host these games is because Florida's not taking the pandemic seriously.
