MATCHES
Canada at Panama, 8pm

USA QUALIFIES DIRECTLY IF...
- Wins/Draws/Loses by 5 goals or less against Costa Rica


There is a scenario out there where Costa Rica beats USA by 4 goals, Mexico loses to El Salvador, sending Mexico to the intercontinental playoff. It's fun to dream.

I’m pretty sure we have to lose by 6 or more to not qualify…

ETA: frick Costa Rica and Mexico. I almost want to lose by 5 and see Mexico lose to El Salvador just for the frick of it.

Time to exercise all of our 2017 demons and absolutely demolish Costa Rica tonight. We need to go for the neck and come out swinging.

We had a chance to do that in 2014
Would have been great!
We actually scored 2 after 90 mins in that one!!!

It would be funny to see Mexico relegated to the inter-confederation playoff but let's be real they'd still win. So who really cares?

USA, Mexico, Costa Rica to the World Cup and I'm going to go ahead and say Peru beat UAE/Australia.

Down with Costa Pobre.

If it were a home match I’d say beat their arse and return to sender, but liberation is a traveling band today boys.

Here is a free legal stream of the OFC qualifier final between Solomon Islands and New Zealand if you're in the mood to watch some shite soccer and see who we would play if we lose by 6 goals tonight.

Yea I understand that

Didn't I read in another thread that 9 Costa Ricans are on yellows and would miss the playoff vs. New Zealand if they got a yellow tonight? I also imagine we won't be running our best lineup (and probably not even close to it) so this game will be very interesting.

Yep, a second yellow in qualifying carries over to the intercontinental playoff, but not the first match of the world cup.

However, if we have a player pick up a red card today, they would be suspended for the first match of the world cup.

Question about the draw on Friday....

Since the playoff games will not be done, do they just draw the "winner of" ball?

And are we excluded from being matched with the winner of NZ Vs Concacaf because of it?

Yes, and automatically slotted into pot 4 (even though Wales/Scotland should be pot 2 or 3).

And yes, it means we cannot play NZ because of it.

New Zealand was the only undefeated team in the 2010 world cup.

Also annoyed we have zero chance of playing them in the WC because of the draw.

If we lose today (even by a couple goals) is there a chance we could drop out of that 1st pot?
