WCQ: Third Round - Window 1 (September 2-8, 2021)

[Kent]

Away game results in the final round for top 4 teams in recent history.

2018
1st: 2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss
2nd: 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses
3rd: 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses
4th: 1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses

2014
1st: 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses
2nd: 0 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses
3rd: 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses
4th: 1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses

2010
1st: 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses
2nd: 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses
3rd: 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses
4th: 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses

It's tough to say what will be needed with a couple extra away games, but probably a couple wins and a draw or two on the road. If we can grab a point tomorrow in the USA that would be big.

Panama, Mexico and El Salvador wins would be best for us IMO

Two draws and Mexico

I don’t see El Salvador as legit threats to get a top 4 place so if they can get points off Honduras (who are a threat) that’s what I’m hoping for. Ditto Panama and Jamaica.

[theaub]

Fair.  I don't want El Salvador coming up here on four points.  Panama I'm not sure about...they looked really good on Thursday and I think the travel restrictions are only going to get worse for Jamaica going forward.  

[dyslexic nam]

Basically anything that involves points dropped by Honduras, CR and Jamaica are good in my books.

Doesn't this mean that in 2018 Mexico dropped 2 points at home, but CR dropped 6, Panama dropped 6, and Honduras dropped 7? 

I thought if you dropped 2 points at home in the Ocho you were finished?

the drone shots of them arriving at the stadium are intense.

This. We don't want teams that we're competing with (so everyone except mexico) on 4 points.

No fans at Jamaica v Panama

[king1010]

Jamaica down 1-0. To be fair, deserved for Panama.
