WCQ: Third Round - Window 5 (March 24 - 30, 2022)

[dyslexic nam]

Hey, look at that - we aren't drowning out the Jamaican national anthem with fireworks like those classless Costa Rican pricks.

Costa Rica up 2-1 in the second half. Hoping they win and keep some stress on that USA match.

Because I don't want the USA to qualify.

US depth is really going to be tested tonight w/injuries, suspension, Covid and several catching a stomach virus coming back from Mexico....that being said at home they should beat Los Canaleros

Because if the USA falls to 4th place we could get into Pot 3

Costa Rica win. Level on points (at least for a few hours) with Mexico and USA. 

Panama will need to at least draw USA to have anything to play for on Tuesday.

Mexico will beat Honduras and USA I have them beating Panama

USA up 2-0 on Panama now.

Looking like our match on Wednesday is essentially a friendly. 

Panama who entered the year in the driver's seat for top 4 will be eliminated if they lose 

[cornerkick]

Is Pot 3 still within grasp for Canada, provided we win on Wednesday?

I think we still need 2 'upsets'

[mrstepp817]

3-0 USA rolling up the goal diff at this point....now the pressure moves to Mexico to hold serve to avoid the playoff.....

Although I think whoever finishes 4th in CONCACAF should handle New Zealand....

Herdman should just totally rotate the squad..play as many young guys, backups etc as you can...give some guys some looks

Definitely put young guys in against Panama

[jonovision]

Well, the USA-Panama match is all but over. Quite the capitulation over the last two matches. 

I'm hoping Honduras can sneak a result against Mexico so the final matchday has some interest remaining.

[TGAA_Star]

Hey boys I was wondering if all of you guys have made travel plans yet? Flying to Qatar...plane tickets or cruise tickets are booked. You guys making any hotel accommodations while you're in Qatar and for how long you plan on staying in November?

US beating Panama like they owe them money.

 

Honestly the way Panama defends, I was not looking forward to seeing them get rolled over again at the WC. Probably for the best that CR go to the play-off.

Mexico looking humdrum. Now in the second half. To think that Costa Rica might slip past them...

The Ticos although very old still are organized and compact and they have a world class GK...they'll at least put a respectable showing for the region I imagine

Gutierrez, Kone, Crepeau, Ugbo, Cavallini, Millar, Cornelius, and four of the top players to round it out and settle it down as the starting 11. Why not? Add defensive strength, some pace, and two strong midfielders.

[The Beaver 2.0]

Mexico just seems without ideas out there. They are dominating possession, but they don't really look dangerous. yeah, this is an away game for them, but still.  where are the game changers?  Maybe we should lend them Flores.

I agree especially since we're already qualified and we can rest all our starters 

[Cblake]

CP10 with the hat trick , the US up 5-0.

It took the final window, but Panama finally playing like we expected them to.
