Death From Above Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 I want to make fun of America so much but, I mean, Canada probably can't beat Tropico and they're a fictional nation in a video game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Besides the US' big win - Mexico beat Costa Rica and T&T beat Panama And the 6-0 win already wiped out the US' negative goal differential as they are up to +1 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 So I was looking through the other regions and fucking Australia is doing themselves no favors - they are third in their group behind Japan and Saudi Arabia. Okay that is tough. But they haven't lost a game yet. Problem is they have FOUR draws including against Thailand who is at the bottom of the table with a -15 goal differential Basically they are going to fuck around and find themselves in a play-in against like Uzbekistan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Of course tonight is essentially a must win game for the US and it's not on any friendly TV Stations. I really hate that FOX has the World Cup Coverage this go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the US is the AWAY team - the rights default to whatever deal the home country has. So as in the case with Panama (and most of the other Central American teams not named Mexico) - the English language rights are owned by beIN sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabremike Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Got the hard earned point we needed. I'll gladly take it as Panama aren't pushovers (particularly at home where they drew with Mexico earlier in the Hex) #InBruceWeTrust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 People really underestimate how tough a lot of the central American places are to go play. Lots of elevation, heat, humidity, and crazy crowds. It does a lot to make up for some average teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubbymark Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Yeah, say goodbye to the Hexagonal as we know it. This would open the door for Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and other Carribean nations to make it. That said I was a fan of the intercontinental playoff. It was kind of cool to see Mexico squirm through with New Zealand, but had it been CONCACAF vs CONMEBOL they would have played Uruguay. Let's see how the new intercontinental playoff will work.
