Goin to have to book your hotel reservations while you go in November 

I literally have to look into this could swear they’re sold out ? I don’t even know.

One thing i've been meaning to mention since the Honduras match, we didn't only add 3 points, but also +2 goal differential, when Mex and USA got +1.  That little detail was also huge!

McKennie and Dest were very good tonight.  But the US does not know how to break down teams in the final third. They should still qualify, but things look a lot shakier than you'd expect on game day 10

And Adams, kid is a stud. Their midfield is very nice, defence okay, strikers? Seriously lagging.

I don't know what game you were watching, the Argentinian who knows football says Kaye is our best player by a mile.

I think he did good  seemed a bit rusty.  But Kayé was tactically good,   only two turnovers from him.   Osorio improved second half and Fraser played 30 minutes in good form.

I don't know about you, but I'd never walk away from talking with Kaylyn Kyle!

Wouldn’t be that hard.  I respect that she is a CWNT alumni but way too plastic for me.

Yeah definitely going to have to after Wednesday provided we beat El Salvador but El Salvador are dead last in the table but they are playing at home and we can't take them lightly either

[The Beaver 2.0]

If we win in El Salvador, what will be our new FIFA ranking?

Update: 5 poutines, 5-0-0. Stomach-ache and likely early death - totally worth it!

Taking one for the team, i love it.  Good man!

[kacbru]

Mexico and the US can at least say that the most difficult fixtures are behind them and be happy that they got 1 point each out of them.

"It was one of Canada’s newcomers who set the tone, defender Kamal Miller leaving Christian Pulisic shuddering with a heavy foul four minutes in. The USA star’s abysmal delivery from the resultant free kick hinted that Miller’s hit had indeed landed."

No Doneil ? No problem we got Kamal 💪

[JAVIERF]

I guess the Canadian will go all out attack in El Salvador. From kick off.  This is the way.

Yeah I too wonder if our world ranking would increase heading into Qatar because then it puts us in a good position for Pots 1 to 4 in Qatar for the Final Group Draw

We didn’t always look good but we did good. That’s resilience we’ve never had before.

Herdman.  That's the difference.

Can anyone who was at the game tell us what the USA away support was like? They made no impression on the broadcast.

Non existent. Quiet. I think I saw 5 Americans in line outside the stadium and only 2 flags inside. 

[rydermike]

Every win will help boost the ranking, but what basically matters is who else qualifies. We have to be at least the 10th lowest team to qualify for Pot 3 (Qatar goes to Pot 1 and they're below us).

Can we see it man?

It also hasn’t been washed since it was made.  I am not really superstitious but why risk it.  Probably deserves a a dry clean after March.

Most likely Canada we would be in Pot 3 once we qualify

If we get it done I gotta take a serious look, won’t be cheap and it’s a long flight but man I’ve been waiting 10 years for this.

[N1ckbr0wn]

I’ve had a couple beers, feeling the emotions.

that one was for all of you longtime fans here. The ones who stuck by this team through the darkest of times.

cherish this moment. We’ve all but guaranteed it. I wish I could give every last one of you a big hug and cheers.

hope to meet you all in the upcoming months leading up to Qatar.

I have been slowly trying to get my wife to warm up to the idea of going to Qatar.  No idea if I will be successful but you never know unless you try.

Me too. She has been receptive to the cruise ship idea, because at least there's something for her to do.

I been waiting even longer...my whole life to see Canada at a World Cup. 31 years about to be 32 years has led me to this point. Canada they have led me to this point.

Hopefully. Depends on what happens in Africa and Asia qualifications.

We're currently 38th. This win gets us another +16.72 ranking points, so now we're in 36th (unofficially).

Hmm, maybe I should look into that.  Never did a cruise so the novelty would be interesting. Plus it solves the accommodation issue.  

Navie question - would a ship dock there for a 2 week period during the group stage of would you just be planning to go to one or two games?

Well once you're there, she'll definitely be warm. Hard not to be with that heat
