well...it's awesome to be able to watch meaningful, and important matches!!

but the impact of the outcome of this one is massively outsized.  like probably many have said in this thread, it has repercussions so far down the line, in so many disparate ways...for players, for CSA, for fans, for 2026 WC competitive dreams, for compensation structure resolution for both men and women, for national interest in the team (we play Messi!...ahh, no we don't play Messi...)...it is kinda crazy!

I would be so happy with a multi-goal, early lead.  I can entirely do without the sporting drama for this one.

I knew we’d he favourites but I didn’t expect it’d be to this extent

Keep in mind these are the odds for full time + stoppage time.  If T&T win after 30 minutes of extra time or on PK's, you'll get 8.00 on your wager.

Need a Jamaica level first half and pump in 2 or 3 goals.  Feel like it will happen.

Just found out that my bro is throwing his wife a bday party that absolutely conflicts with this game.  FFS  

I would prefer not to watch this game on PVR but I am not sure this is avoidable.  Maybe I will get lucky and contract the vapours.  

Can someone confirm kickoff time in Pacific time?  I'm reading 2pm, also 1pm.

Why is there so much confusion over the start time? Absolutely everywhere has it at 16:00 eastern.

I am working with 4pm ET...so that implies...1 pm PT.

Happy to be told otherwise!

Fair enough. It's the time conversion the I suck at.  If the 16:00 is local time, then that's 2:00.  Thanks for clearing it up though!

Sorry to divert this slightly, but it's for a football cause

From that pic, de Fougerolles seems to have grown a fair bit since I first became aware of him.  

Which is great news for his prospects at CB and for us.

The tweet doesn't match exactly with what you posted. They're talking about Quebecois players. Your post mentions francophone content. If it was really francophone content then they're missing, Bair, David and even Johnston who speaks above the franglais level.

Interesting that a kid born in England identifies as Quebecois

…just to be clear, the game is on at 1pm Pacific time…

[MtlMario]

As much as it pains me to say, I'd prefer Honduras winning just because taking ranking points from Costa Rica. As well that Jamaica and Panama losing.😀

Well, he identifies as a Canuck. Why not Quebecois? Unless there was a referendum that I missed and we lost.

No health concerns coming out of training, so the million dollar question for me will be about who's in front of Crepeau in the back.

That's the big question I think. 

The other one being if we will play with 3 midfielders and who will be the 3rd.

With or without Tobago? It would seem disloyal....

For people in the US it looks like the game is on Paramount +

It’s 15:00 local time in Dallas, as your Wikipedia screenshot indicates.

Indeed, feels like Honduras 2012 in its build up.
