Saturday, April 22nd vs El Salvador

Matches are all at 6pm Eastern Time.

Last game of the qualifiers is tonight.

We only need a draw to win the group and move on.

El Salvador is the first opponent we will face that has some quality; I doubt it will be a big win.

Game started 5:30PT in pouring rain.

 One soccer didn’t get signal on YouTube channel until 10’ when Canada was already leading 1:0.

Olivia just scored two more to bring it to 3:0.

[JamboAl]

Watching the game and Smith must have been tripped three separate times in the penalty area and only one of them was called a penalty.  Won’t matter in the end but shocking refereeing.

Well, I was wrong. 😅

Kara Lang may have been last Canadian player with this type of ability to strike a ball.

The draw for the next round is Thursday.

The draw was earlier today, we got the harder group:

So if we take care of business in the group stage, we will just need 1 win in 2 tries against probably Mexico or Costa Rica.

The U.S. squad is out:

First game is today

[Kent]

What is going on with this game? I turned OneSoccer on in the background and they showed an empty field for a bit. Next time I turned around they are playing commercials and filler content. Is there a weather delay or something?

[Kent]

Maybe I should have taken a couple seconds to research first.
 

 

[Kent]

This game might end up on youtube. If it starts later than 5 o'clock it will collide with the Forge vs Montreal game at 7 o'clock, which I believe will take priority on the main channel.

They've just gone to a stadium camera. Looks like it's still raining pretty hard and the field looks water logged/flooded. Doesn't look like it will be starting all that soon. If they don't do something about the field it could be a bit of a farce like Canada vs Honduras in the Nations League.

It looks like the heavy rain had passed. They are draining the pitch by sweeping water into the drain on the side. 😅

Will they play tonight?

Who knows!

The Yanks have a better goal difference than us. Only a win against them will allow us to win the group.
