Pretty sure Concacaf champion leagues does not consider that goal as an away goal, because the overtime is for both legs, not just the game in Algeria, therefore being neutral. I remember it being discussed few years ago when MTL impact were involved. Sure, the specifics of the away goal rule varies by tournament. So I looked it up. Perhaps the commentator on the official FIFA feed could have done the same. TGAA_Star, RS, IT20062021 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's celebrate the fact that we've got both Canada and Ghana to cheer for in this world cup.

That's hilarious! I mean, can you imagine - we would actually be favoured to get to the Round of 16 with that group.

Allez les Rouges Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 48 minutes ago, Unnamed Trialist said: Just went back to look at the first post in the thread, nice work @Miche BTW, for that first post, done 7 weeks ago, he got 10 likes and 4 laughs. Well nobody's laughing now. On top of that, the analysis still holds up pretty well, good job. Yes, shoutout to @Miche! We can now compute the probabilities of drawing QAT. Assuming USA and MEX qualify If we're in Pot 3, as Miche calculated, it is 15%. If we're in Pot 4, however, it's more complicated than just 75%*1/6 = 12.5%: - 1 chance out of 4 MEX/USA draws QAT: in this case, our chance is 0 - 3 chances out of 40 URU draws QAT and neither Pot 3 UEFA teams draws QAT: in this case, our chance is also 0 because there must be at least 1 UEFA team in each pot - so UEFA wildcard would be slotted into Group A - 1 chance out of 20 URU and a Pot 3 UEFA team draw QAT: in this case, our chance is 20% since ECU would not be allowed to draw QAT - 1 chance out of 4 both Pot 2 and Pot 3 teams drawing QAT are from UEFA: in this case, our chance is 20% since UEFA wildcard would not be allowed to draw QAT - 3 chances out of 8 a Pot 2 UEFA team and a Pot 3 CAF team draw QAT: in this case, our chance is 25% since the two Pot 4 CAF teams would not be allowed to draw QAT Overall probability: 1/20*20% + 1/4*20% + 3/8*25% = 15.375% Notice what happened: contrary to what we've been thinking, the probability of drawing QAT is actually higher in Pot 4 than in Pot 3 due to all the rules...

A_Gagne Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Regardless of which pot we end up in, love what the MLS Extra-Time crew had to say about Canada and WC groups: 1) Which ever group we end up in will be THE group of death 2) They're really looking forward to watching some "big time" soccer nation take us lightly (cough cough England) and get the SH%& counter attacked out of them.

As @Miche pointed out a few pages back, with a tie, Nigeria stays 0.01 ahead of Canada if Canada wins. So it looks to me like we'd be #31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Perú! We could beat them, they're intense, but not incredibly precise, I don't think they are player-to-player better than us. We heard fireworks here around midnight and I told my wife it was probably the Algerians celebrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBCS Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Does pot really matter? I mean the FIFA rankings are clearly not a representation of how good a team is, if so Mexico & USA should NOT be in pot 2 atm. Were still playing harder and easier teams, Does the pot really matter that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSoccerFan Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Here's a reason to care. A win gets us to #30 in the world, lowering the threshold for international appearances required for a UK work permit. That ranking would be in place heading into the summer transfer window. Could make the difference for some careers. Approve My Account Pls, The Beaver 2.0, Corazon and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver 2.0 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Putting the Pot aside for a moment, how do y'all feel about our team's ability to compete in Qatar? We'll be in tough, obviously, but doesn't that sort of play to our well-organized team defense and blazing counter attack? I mean, we're certain to play a team or three who will dominate possession, and if we can keep our shape, stay tidy in possession, and be ruthless on the counter, we might just have some success. I feel that we've been preparing for the very sort of football we're going to need to play. QBCS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
