If you want the region to grow why would you want Mexico to pound Honduras? My bad, I kind of mean the teams with potential. I don’t want the regions most historic team losing to Honduras, I want teams like Mexico to grow. I honestly couldn’t care less if Honduras grows or not.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I still can't cheer for Honduras and wish Edson Alvarez good things, so Mexico for me. Happy for the States to somehow collapse, for fun. Though I would really like to beat them again at some point. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingston Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I'd be happy to see Honduras beat Mexico - the upset would be good for the region and also for our chances to win the NL. And, yeah, there was that thing in Honduras that one time. But that was more on us than them and was a long time ago now. It's not like they're our ancient rival or anything.

SpursFlu Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I think Mexico will pull it off anyways but strategically we don't want Mexico to lose because we wouldn't want them down in the 4th pot. That would undoubtedly create the chance of a group of death in Copa America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 As I just posted in the LDF silly season thread, I am worried that Concacaf will rescue Mexico if they don't go through. In Concacaf, money talks to the point of altering the spirit of fair competition, systematically. Leagues Cup an example, the US hosting and getting to play at home for all tournaments, even though their away results are notably worse. Or maybe Concacaf will "help" them with reffing or the like, because they won't stand idly by if Mexico don't classify for the Copa on merit. They'll come up with some after the fact gerrymandering. I don't say this about the States because it looks like they are fine, but if they had their backs to the wall I'd think the same. Two nations in our region are the best, but if they weren't, we'd find a way to solve that minor detail. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure at what point a group is group of deathy and when it's not for a 3rd seed team but I think we've got a real chance and should feel like we "could" get out of our group. I look at tournament very simply Get out of group - success 3rd - disappointed but 4th (no wins) disappointing, failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As inconsistent as Mexico has been, I don't think they'd need any help against Trinidad & Tobago. I don't really think anyone needs to worry about them missing the Copa.

You know who said this exact same thing and ended up not going to the World Cup? ...the way Mexico look, anything is possible in a win-and-your-in game. I would be happy to see Mexico not qualify, but at the same time...it just wouldn't be right, if you know what I mean. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king1010 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 States down 2-1 after a matt turner blunder in a free kick. They’re lucky they pumped 3 late goals in the first leg. narduch, aredding77, Shway and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasi Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 The usa has so much talent that they should be undisputed kings of this region. Unfortunately that talent is composed of petulant unprofessional man babies. They are so dam ridiculous. I cant think of one of their top players that I would consider captain material. Who was their last star player that was not a baby? Bradley? kacbru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
