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

[narduch]

Costa Rica v Jamaica will be free on YouTube 

 

[jtpc]

With our match finishing before any of the others, a win would put us temporarily in 2nd. 😀

Unless the sister is underage then who gives crap. This story makes no sense and I would be shocked if that was the reason.

 

According to ESPN, he spent an unauthorized night out of the team bubble (hotel), and on a subsequent night he also invited an unauthorized guest into the team hotel.  If it's all true, you really do have to question the guy's intelligence.

Mind you, his dad is now speaking up and saying Weston could've named all sorts of other violators on the team on his way out, but didn't because he's a "standup guy".  Quite the situation for Team USA.  😄

(Edit:  Sorry - did not see this was all covered on the Canada - USA thread!)

Incredible that the USA may miss the World Cup because of horniness

I am hoping for a US-Honduras draw.  Or for some hideous subterranean creature to emerge from the pits of hell and consume both teams in front of their horrified fans.  But I will take a draw.

You got those standings wrong. Honduras is gonna tie the US. So Hondurus & the USA both at  3. We'll be alone in 2nd place.

I prefer the subterranean creature scenario.

Panama hanging with Mexico.

(No quote above, not sure what's happening there)

[Strait Red]

Panama scores in the 28th, up 1-0 vs. Mexico

[king1010]

Match at home in october against panama is huge. Need to knock them off.

Best Hex Soccer since the pescesolido flag in the eye event

Yeah I'm happy for Mexico to somehow come from behind to beat Panama. Mexico can win all their games other than against us. I'm good with that. Although imagine somehow Mexico and the US not qualifying lol

[narduch]

Costa Rica lead Jamaica 1-0

[Canucklehead69]

What is happening to Jamaica I would have thought they were better then this?

 

I'm assuming they're big guns that aren't there right now aren't going to join what already looks like a lost cause?

The England based players couldn’t play the 2 road games in this window. They played the home game vs. Panama and shit the bed.

My concern is that they start to gel and find some fluidity by the time we play them.  Having them drop points to others early and then battle against us wouldn’t be ideal.

To be fair their english players looked terrible at home. 

[Floortom]

Really want mexico to at least pull one back here...don't want Panama to be on 7 points after the first window (especially given it's a relatively tough one on paper - A Jamaica H to Mexico and Costa Rica)

[Miche]

There we go Mexico levels.
