Based on this?

6 goals and 3 assists in 10 EPL matches while being the best player on a top 3 team would suffice yes.

Absolutely zero composure, but brutal defending by the Yanks as well

Im not sure I want that. Jamaica could go on a late roll and shoot up the standings with their talent. 
 

im more USA win or draw

Yup. I don't want Jamaica up in 4th or 5th  when we play them. So I'm for a US win

[Yoginess]

I'm hoping for a -1 to -1 result where both teams get a loss

Probably a US win, but a draw isn't bad. Jamaica win is terrible.

I really want the posibility of finishing 1st in the group. Draw all the way.

el_noido's simulation model suggests a draw is the marginally best result for Canada in this match.  But not a big impact regardless. 

Impact to Canada's chances of finishing Top 3 based on each possible result tonight (Home Win / Draw / Away Win):

@footballfreak's analysis about keeping teams interested in playing their best roster also has merit - and the simulation model doesn't consider that.

I want a draw.  Keep Jamaica in the rear view mirror, but keep the US in sight.

I think Jamaica got robbed...that was a very soft foul on that goal

[rydermike]

Jamaica USA 1-1 final

[Big_M]

Ends in a 1-1 draw

Ya Jamaica got CONCACAFed.

That would never happen to us; we'd need to generate a successful set piece in the first place!

[mrstepp817]

A win for Canada and its first place...

[Floortom]

Not a bad result for us - now let’s go El Salvador!!

[jonovision]

I seem to recall Canada drawing in Kingston being viewed on here as a catastrophe. Do you think the Yanks feel the same way?

The Panama/ES game is probably more important than our own tonight

Considering they deserved to lose (due to that awful call near the end), no.

Thing is, if Panama wasn't right on our ass, I'd be cheering for them to make top three. Love the idea of Canada and Panama getting 2 of the 3 auto spots.  Both nations have played a lot of games just to get to the octo! (And we might be benefitting from it too)
