Death From Above Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 This is the goal that has almost certainly sealed Canada advancing to the dreaded CONCACAF hexagon. Yep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterCopperpot Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Octagon now. And we'll just not mention that goalie was born in Montreal and he was only playing because the regular keeper and captain was denied a visa to travel to the US.

RIPPA Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yup - Canada, El Salvador and Panama at the last 3 to join the Octagon First matchups are beginning of Sept - 3 matches in 7 days for all the teams Top 3 qualify directly for WC 4th place goes to the inter-confederation playoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 FIFA has fined Mexico and they (Mexico) will be required to play their first two WCQ matches in empty stadiums due to their fans homophobic chants. Oh and that is just for the stuff that FIFA has investigated so far. They are still investigating more matches (things like Iceland and the US Gold Cup match) So at this rate - Mexico will play every home guy (except against the US naturally) with no fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 The US/Canada game on Sept 5 will be held in Nashville Also Canada related Montreal has withdrew as one of the cities to host 2026 WC Matches. Toronto and Edmonton remain. There is talk that FIFA will try to get Vancouver to re-enter the process as they would really like 3 Canadian cities as hosts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I'm not saying that Scotland are shorthanded for their game today, but I think the latest Scotland related "great opportunity" is not the opportunity to be named a Scottish Lord or Lady, but to receive a call up to the Scottish MNT.

RIPPA Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 I know it is a quirk of the schedule but Ireland still having no points in Group A after 3 matches while Luxembourg has 6 is... not good Well, honestly, that was obvious when Luxembourg beat Ireland in Dublin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Embarrassing from Hungary on and off the field against, 4-0 loss to england, and THOSE chants as well as thrown projectiles. UEFA has already banned them from three home games, but this was under FIFA jurisdiction, and something similar needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
