RIPPA Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 CONCACAF officailly revealed the 2022 qualifying Technically qualifying starts Oct 2020 because all teams get a shot now (uh huh) The "real" qualifying though starts June 2021 with the "Octagonal" (RIP Hex). Since the Top 6 spots are based on FIFA Rankings - Mexico, USA, Costa Rica, Jamaica and Honduras are already in the Octagon. The other three will be determined by an annonying process but most likely it will be filled by 3 of these 6 teams: El Salvador, Canada, Curacao, Panama, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago (they are the next 6 via FIFA rankings) Top 3 Finishers in the Octagon advance directly to Qatar. 4th place goes to the international playoff round.

RIPPA Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Oof... per Rob Stone in 2026 Concacaf will have EIGHT teams qualify EDIT - this is due to a combo of expanded field and the three host countries (US, Mexico and Canada) automatically qualifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds horrible. It's like putting the whole Gold Cup inside the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 8 CONCACAF clubs? That's worse than Japan and Qatar playing the past Copa América and Australia and Qatar being invited to what was this years Copa América and will now be played next year.

RIPPA Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 I am a little unclear if that is the new norm due to the expanded field or just a product of them getting 3 auto bids due to the hosts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Okay - clarification So with 3 hosts getting 3 of the spots - pretty much assures Costa Rica and Jamaica getting in too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReiseReise Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Guys, it's just to build maximum interest for the return match when crowds will be back. We will win Euro 2020(2021) and then get our win back. Broadway would have been too obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
