El Hombre Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Any chance that FIFA will go alphabetical for the pots rather than points ranking? That would be sweet. Jedi Ram, Unnamed Trialist, MtlMario and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCrTFC Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 As an aside but this is what is so special about footy, here I am keeping tabs on African/European qualifying as a Canadian fan. Allez Mali!

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 1 minute ago, Allez les Rouges said: False. If Mali qualifies (and DRC doesn't), an Algeria qualification despite loss or draw puts CAN in Pot 3 right away. See above. You guys should try to get on the same page and stop screwing with our fantasy experience of the Pot 3 struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addona Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 9 minutes ago, Allez les Rouges said: Yup. Assuming Portugal and Morocco both win (very likely), the scenarios I posted simplify to: - If TUN wins today's game: no Pot 3 for CAN - If TUN/MLI draw in today's game: CAN needs win vs. PAN - If MLI qualifies or if TUN qualifies on PSO: CAN needs win or draw vs. PAN* *exception: if MLI qualifies and ALG qualifies with a tie or loss in today's game, CAN is guaranteed to be in Pot 3. Simpson, if I tug at the bill of my cap like so, it means the signal is a fake. If I want you to bunt, I will point at my belt buckle not once, not twice, but thrice! frattinator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadamnt Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Canada controls its own fate if Mali and Tunisia is a tie after 90 minutes. I have no doubt that Canada will get the job done tomorrow because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueseeka Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Does this look right? With a Tun PK win? https://football-ranking.com/calculate?match=20220329_TUN_MLI Edited March 29, 2022 by blueseeka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serbia and Senegal are the only two teams I’d like to avoid from pot 3. Poland winning is good because now Atiba should be the oldest guy at the World Cup. 👍🏼 Xavier., jonovision, scullion44 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a Tun PK win? https://football-ranking.com/calculate?match=20220329_TUN_MLI It won't be PK win. Scroll back a few pages. If Mali wins 1-0, it would be counted as a normal win for them.

rydermike Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Would the penalties even count for points? Wouldn't that be separate because the penalties are for the aggregate score not the match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaub Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Did a country name based (in English admittedly) World Cup draw and we ended up with France, Netherlands and South Korea. So no bueno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathermanfran Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Any chance of scheduling a couple friendlies against the Cayman Islands on Thursday right before the draw to gain a few extra rating points? 🤣 I kid obviously, but I remember a few years ago before the reformatting of the hex -> octo that we were considering how to schedule opponents so we could pass El Salvador in ranking points and qualify to the hex as the 6th ranked CONCACAF team. What a few years. Kent and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Approve My Account Pls Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 22 minutes ago, Corazon said: Not that Sali is anywhere near our men's program. Romania is eliminated and he hasn't even featured for his club since December 12, 2021. He was listed on the bench as an unused sub in 7 games and not on the game day roster for another 4 during that period. Can't help but laugh, although I sort of feel for the kid who was only 15 when pressured to play for Romania. Yankov is another that will be missing out with Bulgaria. To me, he would be in and around the Mitrovic level for Canada. Hard to argue that he made the wrong decision though as he's already featured 15 times for Bulgaria in just a couple years. He would be nowhere near that if any caps at all for Canada. Yeah I didn't want to go fully in depth on all the duals... I mainly just included guys that might have been within striking range of being included in our squad and on nations that were still alive in this final round of qualifying Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wins, draws, and losses only count as single game wins, draws, and losses and their corresponding points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umpiredice Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Poland have knocked out Sweden. If we're in pot 4, that makes one less team in pot 3 that I'd be hoping to avoid. Addona 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
