Huge point for us but even better, it just means that Mexico will be forced to play out this qualifying longer than expected.  Thinking about late in qualifying vs some of those other teams we are competing with.

Two away ties against the two best teams in CONCACAF!

the more they tie, the better for us!

Two toughest games out of the way now. 

Huge point at the end of the day. 

[Corazon]

Also, Vitoria was never going to play vs Jamaica so the yellow actually worked out perfectly.  ZBG for Laryea in a straight swap.  Going to miss having Tajon off the bench vs Jamaica but Junior is a straight swap too.

classic critical turnover in the midfield by fraser..does that with columbus also

Two points dropped 

It was one of those games, yes. It is all about managing matches. That is why you also have to look at how our rival pushed, Herdman let them in with the late subs, and there is always a reffing risk late at Azteca. So you have to take that point as a major accomplishment. 

[nolbertos]

Great road point.  I don’t know if Mexico played so poorly or this Mexican team is the worst in decades because the Mexicans love to attack snd they defended way too much in this match IMO, I get the feeling Tata is going to get sacked before Herdman ever does, as the Mexican press going to crucify him.  Also didn’t know Canada tied at Azteca in 1980 WCQ, wow its been 41 years since Canada got a result.

If there's a person I would replace Dunfield with, it'd be Hume.  He would be quality colour.

Agreed on most of this but I think missing Tajon is Jamaica is a bigger deal.

Team Go For It earns a point! BOOYAH!

Remember when we had the heebee jeebees before Suriname? Now taking points from Mexico in their house.

All y’all “we should forfeit we’ll never get a result in Mexico play the C team” eat some damn crow and update your attitude.

That would be a great move, I've been having trouble sleeping lately.

[BigMo]

What a performance. Hats off to Herdman on the selection and the changes too, all worked out well. 

 

6 points in the next two is a must.

[footballfreak]

Too soon to say it was worth it points-wise, but that was so, so satisfying. Job 1 done. Goal is now 7 points in the window.

Look, I love the point that we just got. Big, big result.  
 

But we will know if this was the right thing at the end of this window.

7 points would be a monster window that would put one foot in Qatar.

The other two results aren't secured yet.

What an incredible night. A result in Mexico at Azteca! 🙌

I can't believe 7 points are in play this window! 😀

I think OneSoccer would sell more subscriptions if they had an Explicit channel with Hume just swearing a blue streak throughout the game.

Nice of Sportsnet to stick with the post game

[Wayverider]

Damn I’m pumped!

Like I said earlier, despite 6-7 absences I’m conceding NOTHING to the green sombreros!

A draw in both The US and Mexico! No one else in CONCACAF will accomplish this.

Now Mexico can come to us in Edmonton! Most of them have never even seen snow and we’re going to welcome them to minus 15 degrees weather. Lol
