TFC's Adrian Mahoney was selected for Jamaica final roster

Jamaica are out. Mahoney only played in one of their four matches and it was as a sub. About 36 minutes is all he played.

Just to clarify. If we win the next game and make it to the semis, we qualify for the u17 wc?

Yes.

Costa Rica and Puerto Rico are 0-0 at halftime. Match is on the Concacaf YouTube channel.

[narduch]

Puerto Rico just scored! They lead 1-0 

[SpursFlu]

12 of the 20 Puerto Rican players are Americans

 

And also had a look around 10 of the 20 El Salvadorian players are Americans

 

So PR won't be push overs

Aren't all Puerto Ricans technically American?

CR tied it up late unfortunately 

[narduch]

1-1 after 90 for CR v PR. Going to extra time.

Professional performance vs Haiti. Canada the better team but 3-0 is probably a flattering score line. Abraham made some key saves but overall good to see Canada dictate the game and keep their composure.

Difficult to assess players at this age but Omeze, Stefanovic, and Chuckwu have each impressed me. Looks like we’re deep in CB prospects which is a nice luxury given our lack of depth at the senior level. 

Biello and Badwal have also been a pleasant surprise. Biello’s clean first touch and ball security (on a bumpy pitch no-less)  is noticeable. One to watch for sure.

The attack hasn’t really clicked yet. Overall, the talent for this age group seems tilted towards the defensive end of the pitch.

Im not sure what Puerto Ricans technically are or aren't and I kinda don't give a toss. But within the context of this conversation I'm calling them American so people fully appreciate the players that make up their squad

PR win on PKs

Well well well !

Puerto Rico finish the upset in penalties, after having a red card and saving a penalty in extra time. Hopefully we take advantage and qualify on Wednesday.

Keeper also saved the 1st 2 in the shoot out.

These teams are really getting a boost from having all these Americans. It will soon translate to the full national teams and really up the level of play in Concacaf 

[Gian-Luca]

Their keeper stood on his head to get them the win.

What happens with One Soccer, there will be an overlap of our Women's tournament match and our Men's U17 qualifier, can they show 2 live feeds on their platform, I have never checked that out before?

People have reported issues trying to stream two things on OneSoccer.

Sometimes they put one of the games on YouTube.

IMO it should be the U17 WC qualifier that they give priority to if there is a conflict, it is a far more important match than the She Believes Cup, especially given its "win and you're in" a World Cup status. However, they may go with women's team match if the viewership at this point has been higher for the WNT than the men's U17 team.

Mind you, it's probably a good thing that Onesoccer is making the call on what gets priority - if it was the CSA doing so and they chose a men's youth team match over a women's team match of any kind, it would no doubt be used by Janine Beckie as further evidence of the "blatant sexism" on the part of the CSA.

It is likely easier to put the U17 match on YouTube given that CONCACAF is already doing that - the stream just gets geoblocked in Canada.

Couldn’t agree more.

[narduch]

Think it's pretty obvious One Soccer will show the CanWNT live on their main feed.

They have been giving their matches the pre and post game treatment. They have been using their own announcers.

For the U17 they have been using the Concacaf feed.

The only question is will they make it free on their YouTube channel or not. 

[JamboAl]

I think you have to give priority to a full national team match over a youth tournament.  Imagine a U-17 CONCACAF women’s game taking precedence over a men’s friendly?
