Funny seeing this happen to USMNT. That said, we don't want Costa Rica to win this. A draw is probably the most advantageous result for Canada.

[Alex]

Honestly, we just need to win. If Costa Rica wins today we have an opportunity to beat them in Edmonton.

USA ties it up in 25'. Dest. We need CRC to lose or at least not win.

[frmr]

A draw would be fine as long as we win. That would put us in second and free up another spot up for grabs with the US in the mix.

I guess this is karma with an early goal from Panama. 🥲

We win. 

USA win over CR

Jamaica ahead of Honduras.  

Mexico expected to beat ES.  
 

Could be a pretty sweet set of results.  
 

[maplebanana]

No cards for either team in the USA-CRC game. So no suspensions for the game vs us. 

I really hope the USA-MEX game gets super scrappy, with red card after red card...

Perspective time:

The game isn't over, but Jamaica is leading Honduras 2-0 in SAN PEDRO SULA.

Three days ago, many were saying that tying Jamaica was dropped points.

Trying to predict CONCACAF is black magic.  If you get points, any points, take them and run.

And Jamaica pulls out the win.  Regardless of what players they might be missing, that team is not a pushover.  0-0 in Kingston is not that bad.

Also, Honduras is last, so that is great.

It’s good we play Honduras in the third match next window.

5 pts this window, 10 after 6 games. If you had told me we were at 10 after 2 windows before the start of the campaign, I'd have been pleased but not thrilled. I would have thought it'd be 3 home wins against HON/ESV/PAN and a draw away at JAM though.

So 2 extremely hard away draws made up for dropped pts at home against HON. Not making it easy on ourselves, but we're on pace.

Booking my tickets to Vancouver for January now...

I forget who I’m supposed to hope for but I’m cheering for El Salvador and I’m not letting anyone on this forum tell me otherwise! 😇

Don't look now, but Canada has the best goal difference in the the Octo.

That would be crazy if El Salvador got a result here.

[CanadianSoccerFan]

Honduran fans have given up on their team.  Could be an empty stadium by the time we play there

[El Hombre]

Oh shit.  Good luck Drew Fisher.  I'm praying for you.  Would not want to be in your shoes.

[footballfreak]

We were missing our leading goal scorer, our captain and talisman, our starting goalkeeper, Scott Kennedy, Junior Hoilett, Cavallini...

and we took 5 points from a tricky window and comprehensively beat our closest rival for the last spot.

If you told us that beforehand, we would have taken it every single time. Jamaica was a missed opportunity, but nothing in CONCACAF is given. Onwards to Edmonton.

Get healthy guys.

They could be all but mathematically eliminated by that game. Big opportunity.

[jtpc]

While the point totals are fairly close in spots, the goal differential of the current top 3 compared to the rest is just staggering.

The current top 3 are either +6 or +5. Everyone else is either even or under water. Quite the visual.
