Not sure if he's a LB or the Canadian Mo Salah. Great stuff from a defender!
That commentary though.
It was a pretty big win for them tbf. Panama actually qualified automatically for the last World Cup whereas this is the first time Canada have even made it to the final stage of CONCACAF qualifying since 1998. That win saw them leapfrog Panama into 3rd which is an automatic qualifying spot."Give up the 3 points now".
They're playing Panama ffs
I remember after 2018 and 2022 were awarded there was talk of them boycotting in protest.They couldn't miss out again could they?
SOrry, but I love the upsets we see.Really need another round of qualifiers for Europe for the minnows.
That red card to the Liechtenstein player when the score was 0-0 really killed them.
Yeah but they’re very rare…too many one sided games and it’ll reduce games for best playersSOrry, but I love the upsets we see.
North Macedonia knocking off Germany?
Slovakia beating Russia?
Ireland matching it with Portugal?
Italy-Bulgaria draw?
France and Bosnia tying?
Same as England-Hungary?
Yeah, we might avoid an 8-0 drubbing.
But I'll accept that for some fun stories.
1 team can struggle a bit (ie Italy 2018, or France 2010) and have to then head to the 2nd round where you might get knocked off by Sweden or need a hand of god to squeak by Ireland.
I love the current setup.
Plus, I'm sure the fans of these smaller nations would enjoy seeing the best turn up
I just checked Malta 2018
3,431 vs Lithuania
4,207 vs Slovenia
4,980 vs Slovakia
15,069 vs Scotland
16,994 vs England
Or Gibraltar who only got 1,000 once, vs the best team Belgium
Or Andorra who got sub 2k against lesser opposition, but cracked 2k vs Switzerland and 3k vs Portugal.
It's why I also love following CONEMBOL qualification
Ecuador was ranked 64 in the world when the draw was made. This would put them in pot 4 in Europe along the likes of Luxembourg and Alabania.
Give them the opportunity and they can prove themselves. Currently 3rd, clear of 5th by 4 points, with 5 games to go.
These pools which open it up for anyone are amazing imo
How is it that England managed to get Andorra, San Marino & Albania all in the same WC qualifying group?
