CNL: Jamaica vs Canada - Saturday, November 18th - 10:30am EST / 7:30am Pacific - Kingston, Jamaica

Back to the original logical move of this game just being played this afternoon.

I'm wondering what CONCACAF would do if this game was cancelled? Also, will they compensate the national team the money it cost us to travel down there?

I literally never thought it could get worse than that Honduras game. This is actually twice as bad.

My weather app says the rain isnt stopping until 9am tomorrow... might be a reschedule... to tommorow afternoon... that pitch will never drain if it doesn't stop raining

So IMHO.  This game in Jamaica will be played later tonight.  Or tomorrow sometime.  Maybe even Sunday.  Period.  Short of a hurricane, which is not in the actual forecast, at least.

There is no way for the team or the Federation to negotiate a one game leg, or a Jamaica home draw or a postponement to a future window.  Or 2 in-Canada games with one being a Jamaica home game with no fans present.   None of those options is better than simply waiting for a window to play the game, with the time allotted and the players called.

EDIT:  Smart CanadaFan123 id'd a good, but also low % possibility...neutral venue game tomorrow with both sides input and agreement.  We all have to wait and see how that field goes....

Maybe it will be one game to decide the winner (on Tuesday in Toronto)

That would be terrible. No way the pitch dries up after that many hours straight of rain.

I think CONCACAF should force them to choose a neutral venue for tomorrow.

Can someone explain why they don’t have a field cover? 

10000% this.

It makes no sense considering the circumstances of the field and knowing the weather.

A simple solution to mitigate this could be a tarp with slope control.

I wish there was pre-game coverage rather than watching the bond villain talk about his philosophies.
