Dominica and Grenada will get crushed, I'm pretty worried about Jamaica vs Haiti though. Haiti drew 1-1 with the USA couple months ago.:(

I'm planning on going to the Canada-Belize game @ Kingston, Ontario (less than 2 hours from me)

I'm hoping we can score a few goals and start the qualifying right, Canada has the best squad we've had in years and with a good coach this time

Just as long as Jamaica gets at least a draw in Haiti they'll be fine...Jamaica is one of the toughest teams to beat at home.

Aye, the match will be played at the Orange Bowl in Miami. Miami is Jamaica's second capital, so we have a large fan base there as well.

Mexico, USA and Costa Rica will get the WC spots

We get 3.5 now, right?

I think 4th plays off with an asian team.

I think we could have 4 teams in the WC, let's just hope the playoff is against Saudi Arabia :p

Jamaica for the playoffs!:rockman: (H)

I wouldn't mind seeing Canada qualify as a 4th team after US, Mexico, and Costa Rica if we really do fight it out with Asia.

yeah go canada

I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about possible injuries.

Cuz you know when Dominica is down by about 6 goals they're gonna start playing to injure, I hope I'm wrong but I've seen this happen all too often in CONCACAF with the smaller countries.

Today's Results
Netherlands Antilles vs Honduras 1-2
Haiti vs Jamaica 1-1
Surinam vs Guatemala 1-1
Cuba vs Costa Rica 2-2

Not many surprises, though I did think Costa Rica would win, dont know if they took their best squad.

Jamaica 1-1 Haiti.:kader:

Great game though, the Haitians are a quality side, same with the Cubans who also drew with Costa Rica 2-2.

I did not get a chance to see the Haiti - Jamiaca game. Nice to know that the haitians played good, but I really wanted them to win. It's is going to be harder now since the jamiacans are going to have home field advantage in the 2nd leg match. Hope Haiti wins! May god bless the team.

Haiti got a penalty after 10 seconds in the match and threw it away.:D

They looked the better team for most of the match though, and could have had maybe two or three more goals.

The Haitian support was also awesome, they almost filled the 76,000 seater stadium.(Y)

Let's see how they handle themselves next week with 45,000 screaming Jamaicans in their ears.(H)

I understand there's something like 150,000 Haitians living in the US.

Dominican boss Don Leogal is relishing the challenge of taking on the world power Tricolor in their first ever FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign:

"A lot bigger teams than us have been intimidated by the Azteca," the boss admitted. "All we can do is try our best and hope to get a result... We are realistic, but football can be a glorious game and anything can happen."

well, at least they're not scared. :D

What the hell happened to everyone? Guatemala, Jamaica and Costa Rica should've won by a landslide yet they all tied, and Honduras beat friggin Antilles by one goal? Something's seriously wrong.

Nothing's wrong, that's CONCACAF for you......:confused:

Costa rica maybe get better (or worst ), after the Copa America.

Costa Rica faced a pretty strong Cuban side, the Cubans might spring a surprise this trip, so be on the lookout.

Haiti are no pushovers either, the US learnt that a couple months back.

But anyway I'm really rooting for Jamaica if only for the fact that they have way too many players in MLS.

We just have a dumb coach.:(

He also left out our second best striker out of the team because he had some drug issues that happened over two months ago. His reason was that "he needed some time to clear his head"......:|

I wish we could somehow get a new coach between now and next Sunday.:kader:

yeah, Costa R tied 2-2 with Cuba. I agree with manudt4eva, i think Cuba will be the surprise. Jamaica tied with Haiti, not surprised... Haiti might not be the best country in the world, but theyre soccer isnt that bad (i think..)

CONCACAF is probley the most open of the regions. People outside CONCACAF don't know that tho.

Anything can happen on any day.

Canada-Belize is about to get started here.. I hope we can at least win by 2 or 3 goals, this is the best Canadian side ever, with our best coach ever.

Is Aguiar called for canada match?

Jason deVos D (Ipswich Town, English First Division)

Hume is awesome! 3--0

:boyaka: :jacko:

Goaaallllll!!!!!!!!!!!!! a Kevin McKenna header!

Results @ 77th minute:

Canada: 3 (Peschisolido, Radzinski, McKenna) :sun:
Belize: 0

UPDATE:


Results @ 84th minute:

Canada: 4 (Peschisolido, Radzinski, McKenna, Brennan) :rockman:
Belize: 0

4-0 final score Canada-Belize

Ya, this is Canadas best team ever. And Radzinski actually wants to be there. But seriously, cant we get a better stadium than that? its a bit of an embarassment. When does the next round begin?

next game is on June 16th, at the same stad in Kingston, ON..

hehe, yeah it was a pretty poor stadium. They should play some of these games in London, ON. They built a really nice stadium a couple years ago there on the campus of the Univ. of Western Ontario. Would be perfect for some of these smaller games..

It's nice to see Canada score. Though I thought that they attacked too much and had some defensive lapses. They can't afford to do that against better teams. Well hope Canada makes it to the World Cup

Originally posted by QuikZilver

No match is a given and most of the teams, apart from Mexico and the US are fairly evenly matched.

Even the US and Mexico are having questionable games now.

CONCACAF and COMEBOL should unite and create one conference and do the group system just like in Europe and Africa, that's the only way that the teams in this region will get better, playing the likes of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay etc...

LOl no never that will be horrible :kader:

why does Mexico have to play the 19th? Mexico better win by a lot for making me wait this long. :D

great match Canada - Belize... Brennan had a huge impact, a goal and some nice crosses (Y)

I wouldn't call it a great match. It could've been 10-0 if we finished the chances we had. The good thing is we actually have some offense now in the team with Pesch, Radz, etc.

But do we really need all our best players vs Dominica? :D

You never know now, concacaf is crazy this year.

Yea, i think MLS should stop during internationals. Puts too much of a strain on teams. Kansas City had a full team when others were missing huge players.

And I hate their schedule it's so f*cked up I mean you have some teams that have played 12 games and then you have some that have played 9 games :rolleyes:, it probably has to do with the fact that they play what 30 games when there's only ten teams in the league :rolleyes: that's just stupid, why cant they just have one league table and the top 4 make it out of the ten then they have a bracket similar to CL or UEFA Cup, that would certainly spice up every match because 8 teams out of 10 making the playoffs is just pathetic :nape:.

I'm sure everyone here has seen Cool Runnings. :D Well, remember that part where they start singing their song after having gathered all the money? The one that goes "Jamaica we have a bobsled team..."

Well... Dominica, whos already in San Antonio getting ready to receive their $300,000 ass whoopin (They're getting paid that much by some company to play in SA), started singing a song similar to the one in Cool Runnings. Same beat and talking about Mexico "better watch out" and "they better respect [some players name]". And this was followed by the Mexican reporter saying "Lets hope they play better than they sing". :rofl: :mexican:

Dominica vs Mexico 0-10 FT (H)

well, what can I say about Dominica? It wasnt ever going to be close. :D They have no league, most of them have real jobs and soccer is just like a hobby. (I say most cuz they said one was unemployed :p) It could've easily been about 6 more goals at least, but Mexico looked like they were at a training session. Arellano and Davino (both got a yellow card) wanted to get a 2nd yellow so they could miss the next game and that way start the group stage with 0 yellows.

And now what I'm looking forward to is the next group stage. Mexico's three group opponents are more than likely going to be T&T, St Kitts & Nevis, and St Vincent. :D I smell lots of goals in the group stage too. :D Some of Dominica's players started getting a little dirty towards the end, I hope they dont continue that in the 2nd unnecessary leg. I'm just surprised there werent more scores like this one...like with the US. It had been a while since I had seen one of these matches, no anguish, close to zero attacking by the opponent, lots of attacking by Mexico and a double digit score. :D

For the 2nd leg I'd like to see those that either came in for the 2nd half or didnt play get a chance to start, like Muñoz in goal, Mendez, Arellano, Morales, Osorno and Lozano.

10-0 :o I could've watched but i didn't.... congrats :rockman:

Grenada v USA is today, it's on ESPN2 for everyone in the US.

I hope we win by as many as Mexico did. Why did Dominica even play? One of their players didn't even have a job, he should be looking for work, not playing in San Antonio.


anyway, my US team.


====================Keller===================
Cherundolo===Mastroeni===Bocanegra===Convey

FORWARDS (3): Jovan Kirovski (Los Angeles Galaxy), Brian McBride (Fulham FC), Josh Wolff (Kansas City Wizards)

I think Grenada kept the same guys, probley their only team.

10-0 What a slaughter! They were already asking if they should show up for the next leg (DOMINICA):crazyboy: . But if I was from Dominica hek yeah I would play the next leg. For sure I will make money at least for the rest of the year with the money I made on both games:rockman: As far as the next team Mex is going to take Im pretty sure Lavolpe will take the SUB-23 team (Olympic Squad) or younger players! SWEET! We have A B and C Squads!!!

Its probably going to b ethe smae Mexico squad, just with some bench players with some of the 1st game starters.

The group stage is set. (I know Mexico hasnt "officially" won yet ... but c'mon :D )

Group A
USA
Jamaica
El Salvador
Panama

Group B
Costa Rica
Honduras
Canada
Guatemala

Group C
Mexico
Trinidad & Tobago
St. Kitts & Nevis
St. Vincent

It safe to say that this will be a walk in the park for Mexico. T&T is our "toughest" opponent. :mexican:

In that case, go Jamaica!:rockman:

It's safe to say that USA will have to play better than they did against Grenada if they want to make it past this round, or not (H). This how I see the groups after all the games have been played:

Group A:
1) USA
2) Jamaica

Dominica was videotaped by some Mexican reporter this week playing a "friendly" match. This is a country trying to qualify for the WC, and they're playing a "friendly" a few days before being slaughtered again by Mexico.

Ok, I know playing a friendly isnt bad...but it is like this. :p They played an amateur team that plays in one of those local leagues in San Antonio. They were paid $5 for every person that showed up to watch...400 people did

And the thing that takes the cake... they lost 3-1! :crazyboy: (H)

A colombian, Pinto.

He was trainning a team in his country before.

costa rica is quite lucky to stil be in this, us and mexico will win their groups, the other one will go to either canada or costa rica
jamaica and t & t will also make it to the last 6

and dont bag on canada, their new coach will get them on the right track

Go Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rockman: I think we should start our own country, make a footy team and qualify for the world cup by beating Dominica and other crappy teams like Belize.

Canada aren't a bad team and I think Yallop is a good coach. I think they will finish second in their group. Costa Rica barely got past Cuba but they fired Sampson who is a pretty bad coach. I doubt they will play so badly in the next stage. I agree with you on who will advance.

well, Mexico won 8-0 .... 18-0 final total score. (H) Bring on St Kitts, St Vincent and T&T! (H)

I hate mexico playing for CONCACAF its just stupid to play teams like all the caribean island but o well GO MEXICO
