WCQ: El Salvador vs Canada- Wed, Feb 2, 9pm EST / 6pm Pacific - San Salvador

[trc2014]

For the Spanish readers, is the letter a threat to not play or a declaration they aren’t playing.  Ie - is there a chance or not.

[EJsens1]

I showed the message to a friend of mine who is Colombian and he said that the President of the soccer federation insulted the players is the gist of it, on top of the financials

If we could get the US players to do the same due to being forced to play in the extreme cold then we can start the celebration.

(I actually don't like this, I'd rather see the game be played one way or another, this would be a strange way to get the three points.)

Just wondering if this is an elaborate ploy by Nef.  He might be in the Salvadoran players' ear pushing them to default so that he can go on twitter and say: "See, I told you Eustaquio wasn't going to play this window..."

Are you sure we're not talking about being paid in bananas?

This is it right here.

Well someone is nice, warm and ready for the match tonight, hopefully home squad shows up.

[EJsens1]

What I’d like clarified is, is it the whole team?  A handful of guys? I’ll take the 3 points but to not have the game would really suck 

[baulderdash77]

This is really disappointing.  I know we still get the points but I was truly looking forward to the game tonight.

So is it a 3-0 win also?

[sstackho]

There's still lots of time for this to get resolved.  I expect it will.

Can someone help me out. Does this mean I need more or less beers for tonight? 

 

[The Beaver 2.0]

What are the oddsmakers saying? Will the game happen or not?  I say it will happen.

[weathermanfran]

I'll take the 3 points... but this is kind of a buzzkill considering how much momentum the program has and how many eyes would be on the game tonight.

Guess it would depend on how you look at it, Canada could qualify without even hitting the pitch ... what a way it would be to punch their ticket to Qatar. Little crazy but no one would care.

More.  The answer is always more.  Doesn't matter what the question is.

[narduch]

More importantly how does this affect our FIFA ranking?

I agree.  They’ll get paid and the game will go on.

They have enough money stashed somewhere in the jungle to get this sorted.
