Final day of round 2 or the wcq
Big day for Cuba, Bermuda, Trinidad, Greneda, El Salvador and Puerto Rico who all haven't qualified for the next round yet.

Fucking hell Grenada. Can't blame anyone but themselves. They were 0-2 up against Trinidad and blew it. That was the result they needed to get

>>149104642
I was giving them the benefit of doubt and thinking maybe costa rica will help them out but I doubt they'll even get 3 goals much less 5 or 6

>cuBitch

>>149104642
>>149104858
maybe there is hope for them, doubt tnt will lose by 5 though

>>149106616
Yeah, I don't think so. Costa Rica is going offensive these last few matches but unless there is a complete meltdown I don't see them losing +7-0.
The point of Granada scoring more goals today was because it's kind of likely that T&T could lose 2, 3-0. Seven is too high

I am proud of Suriname and Curaçao and genuinely hope they manage to qualify. Would be amazing for these countries.

>failing to park the bus against bermuda

WHAT PART OF BERMUDA ARE YOU FROM

>>149107540
ireland

Bermuda is unironically one of the "small" teams that had gotten a lot better nowadays. They aren't going to qualify to the WC but I feel like the 3rd round is a good result for them.

didn't know Cuba has a guy that plays for Norwich that's kinda cool

How do you lose go an island with a population of 70k

Fucking hell Cuba. Well, at least this is a good preparation for the rest of the night

I expected Curazao to win this game but I didn't expect Haiti to do so little

>>149108442
tbf the 2 goals have come from them making mistakes and not really from them being outplayed

>>149108565
ooof, what a shot

VAMOS GUATE

please don't let bailey kick it

Fucking hell, I'm out of here. Fucking Guatemala. At least I have the cope that he's using the B team for this match in the midfield and forwards, but still, fucking hell.

Haiti collapsing like a parliament building

>>149107540
The Triangle

>>149109800
I don't know why they're showing us so much respect to be honest I expected to play us aggressively instead of just sitting back. It's not like they wouldn't be a threat attacking wise. Maybe they're afraid of our pace on the counter idk

Is this a football game or a fucking injurefest?

>>149110343
why not both

these fuckers finally scored

>>149111591

el salvador are 1 goal down and puerto rico are winning their match meaning el salvador are set to go out

>>149112039
shhh, you jinxed it

>>149112039
nvm they scored back

>>149112184
my bad

We scored again
Yet I’m still disappointed

>>149112853
why?

>>149112986
Because we can’t beat shitters like Belice or Nicaragua by 5 goals like we’re supposed to
Guess I’m just expecting them to constantly progress and I feel they reached a plateau

so I know the US is sending their B squad to the Gold Cup.
Are Canada and Mexico doing the same?

You'd think this is Canada's best chance to win something for the first time in 25 years.

>>149113231
>You'd think this is Canada's best chance to win something for the first time in 25 years.

No

>puerto chico

>>149113200
tbf nicaragua has gotten better recently and there's not really much to play for since both are already through
>>149113231
Are Canada and Mexico doing the same?
Yes. Canada and Mexico always try to send the best team they can to the gold cup with the exception of the last edition for canada. The whole B team A team thing is something that only the USA do and they only started doing it around 2019 or some time around there when the nations league just started
>You'd think this is Canada's best chance to win something for the first time in 25 years.
Nah I'd say that was 2023 gold cup or the nations league before the last

>>149113846
spoke too soon

>hondurASS cant even score vs antigua

>>149113927
Yes but what about the Belice game?
Also you can’t compare with Panama since almost all players play in decent leagues
Even back then when we play with shitters we had better results against them

St Vincent VAR’d

>>149114114
>Yes but what about the Belice game?
no excuse for that tbf unless you wanna blame the pitch. Guess they were just going through the motions and didn't really care since it was an easy win

>11/12 of teams going to Round 3 are in Pots 1 or 2
>Only exception is Antigua and Barbuda who will finish last in their group, with Pot 4 Bermuda going through in their stead

>>149113944
Doesn't play have to stop since there are two balls on the field ?

only losing 2-1 to costa rica is pretty impressive yorke should be proud of what he's done with that team in such a short time

>>149114407
yup

>>149114407
Yeah it should.
>mfw the local people were livid that Suriname and El Salvador players were happy with the draw

>>149113944
Puerto Rico were robbed. ROBBED.
The behaviour of the two teams at the end was pretty repulsive desu.

I respect the Salador fans for booing their own team.
They're going to be in Pot 3 of 4 for the next round anyway with only the group winners qualifying. What's the point struggling for a draw vs fucking Suriname.

>>149114517
El Salvador qualified miraculously to the 3rd round but no way in hell they are going to the WC.
They must be the weakest team alongside Bermudas

>>149114484
>>mfw the local people were livid that Suriname and El Salvador players were happy with the draw
>The behaviour of the two teams at the end was pretty repulsive desu.
That's why they should've decided the pots off group position instead of rankings it would've prevented situations like this

>>149113927
>The 2023 gold cup

What are you smoking ?? We sent a developmental team to that tournament that couldn't even beat Guatemala. As it stands the squad we are taking this time as basically our regulars minus Davies and bombito who are both injured

>>149114608
good idea desu
the uefa nations league does this for euros/wc pots and it's an excellent idea

Would be shocking if the 3 qualifiers aren't Panama, Costa Rica and Jamaica.
It's theirs to lose.

2 Intercontinental places are a lot more of a question mark though.

>>149114608
Wouldn't have changed much in this instance, would it?
Suriname was first place with a draw or a win, El Salvador went for a draw because they clearly couldn't get a win without risking a counter.
Suriname was also apparently saving energy for the Gold Cup match they have in a few days.

>>149114650
I got the semis of that year mixed up and thought you guys played panama instead of the us for some reason.

>>149114650
>>149114715
I don't think it was all that far fetched with that squad though not only did you get an easy group you also got the easier side of the bracket and only went out on pens. That team could've probably scarped something against panama to go to the finals but I doubt they would beat mexico

>>149114702
>Suriname was first place with a draw or a win,
if el salvador had won they would've topped the group with 10 points. They probably wouldn't have risked it for the reason you said though

>>149114774
It wouldn't have done anything. We were playing Lucas cavalani up top. Without Eustaquio or Kone being there are midfield was atrocious. This was before we had our backline situation sorted out so it was still Kamal Miller and Steven Vitoria getting cooked. Borjan was still our keeper and declining hard. Herdman had no clue what he was doing. Fun fact about that tournament bombito actually did get called up tournament before anyone knew you but he completely wasted him by playing him out of position in the midfield. He also called up shaffleburg just to not play him at all and then when he finally did he scored an et goal against the USA

>Sunday at 6pm EST
>USA vs T&T in Gold Cup + Palmeiras vs Porto in the Club World Cup kick off at the exact same time
looks like you can only watch one of the tournaments lads

>No hexagonal
I hate this gay earth

>>149114517
>Puerto Rico were robbed. ROBBED.
what happened?

>>149116400
El Salvador and Suriname effectively come to an agreement to let their game end in a draw to screw up PR, PR had 4pts and they needed for ES to lose which had 7pts at the time to qualify

>>149114409
I like the new offensive style that Piojo is putting in Costa Rica, we might have a shot of making it far this time in the GC because we'll bring the artillery such as Ugalde, A. Martinez and Navas contrary to other edition where we sent our C team

>>149116400
A modern day disgrace of Gijon, with the caveat that they did try playing for about 60% of the match until they got tired and decided a tie was fine.

>our colony and ex-colony may qualify for WC
basado

>>149116400
play should've stopped on el salvador's goal
>>149113944 as well as >>149116823
