• CONCACAF Rocking Round 12 (R in the thread)

    From Michael Falkner@24:150/2 to rec.sport.soccer on Thu Mar 24 17:37:51 2022
    Starting with two eliminated sides:

    JAM 0-1 SLV. (I guess El Salvador have a quite limited chance at the playoff...)

    Zavaleta 21 -- match is in 70th minute.

    Top of the 6 Pacific hour, Panama home to Honduras, which will probably the USA and/or Mexico fits, depending on their result tonight...

    If I'd waited 25 minutes...

    Andre Gray formally eliminates El Salvador from Qatar 2022 as Jamaica and El Salvador go to a 1-1 draw.

    Panama-Honduras kicks in about five minutes.

    And, to what should be no one's shock, Panama well on their way to the three points:

    1-0 up on Honduras at halftime, Rolando Blackburn with the goal.

    The big two matches of the night kick off imminently.

    Honduras squares it!!!

    Kevin Lopez at 65'. Now Honduras is 1-1 with Panama in a draw which would be vital to both the USA and Mexico's chances at qualification.

    As for that match, USA and Mexico are scoreless in the 37th minute - game appears chippy, three cards already!

    Canada and Costa Rica are also scoreless, about five minutes behind the USA match.

    Mark Anthony-Kaye gets two yellows in 34 minutes, and Canada has 10 at Costa Rica.

    Match is still scoreless, heading to halftime.

    They are scoreless also at Stadio Azteca. USA and Mexico.

    86th minute in Panama, Honduras is hanging tight to a 1-1 draw. They get it, Canada is IN and, if the Mexico-USA match ends in a positive result, that winner is in too.

    And Costa Rica have scored, just short of half time.

    Celso Borges, header off a free kick.

    So Costa Rica gets a vital goal -- and it may be far bigger, unless Panama gets a late one against Honduras, because that would put Costa Rica 4th in the Octo at 19 to Panama's potential 18.

    -------------------------

    So, as of now:

    CRC 1-0 CAN HT
    MEX 0-0 USA HT
    JAM 1-1 SLV FT

    -----------------------

    How much freaking stoppage time did they give in that Panama/Honduras match???

    And after almost nine minutes of stoppage, Honduras holds Panama to a draw.

    PAN 1-1 HON FT

    CONGRATULATIONS TO CANADA -- THE FIRST QATAR 2022 CONCACAF QUALIFIER.

    The 11 men of Costa Rica hang on, the 10 men for Canada controlled most of the 2nd half, they really at least deserved a draw.

    Costa Rica is on +2, USA at +9 and CAN at +13, so it looks quite unlikely that the Ticos can make up the GD deficit. But Canada is not qualified yet, and a USA win over Panama also doesn't guarantee them qualification

    And here's the final run for tonight:

    Three draws:

    MEX and USA went scoreless. (Several good chances, no conversions in a heady and testy match.)
    JAM and SLV went 1-1.
    And in probably the biggest result of the night, PAN could only get a 1-1 home draw with HON.

    And the only positive result of the night:

    The red card costs Canada, as Costa Rica gets the three home points with a 1-0 win over Canada.

    Two rounds to go, here's the table:

    CAN 25 (Erroneously gave them the congratulations -- they do have the lock-up for the playoff, but still need a point off of Costa Rica to finish the job.)
    USA 22 +9
    MEX 22 +6

    ---------------------------------

    CRC 19 +1

    --------------------------------

    PAN 18 +1

    All other teams eliminated.

    Round 13, Sunday:

    CAN-JAM (CAN needs but one point or a goal difference of a ton to stay up to qualify)

    SLV-CRC (CRC definitely could use the three points, because...)

    USA-PAN (and then at CRC after, so the work is NOT done. PAN probably needs the 3 points as bad as the USA does!)

    HON-MEX (and who knows now with what Mexico has not been able to do lately...)

    22 - 22 - 22 - 21 going into the last round is NOT infeasible here. (Costa Rica wins at El Salvador to get to 22, Panama wins at USA to get to 22, Honduras upsets Mexico)

    That last round would be

    CRC-USA
    MEX-SLV
    PAN-CAN

    Think that over with a 22-22-22-21 for two spots and the interconfederational on the line.

    I did screw that up, but it's still basically there.

    I'd need to concoct a scenario in which CAN would only go to the playoff.

    CAN would need to lose twice, CRC would need to win twice, USA and MEX would both need to at least win one match (USA over PAN, MEX can do either or both), and then a goal difference make-up of about fourteen on CRC and five, even, on the USA.

    In short, CAN would probably have to lose a couple of 7-0 shockers or something for it to even be POSSIBLE.

    It's that other half that caught my interest:

    Sunday: USA wins (per your hypothesis), CRC wins, MEX gets at least three points somewhere and somehow overtakes the USA in goal differential.

    Probably requiring:

    Wednesday: CRC routs USA (GD to make up, right now, is 7), MEX makes up a GD of 3, and you'd have USA third of three countries at 25.

    Start REALLY having fun if CAN were to lose a couple wide shockers to the low end of the table.

    Our GD would have to collapse, but it is indeed possible that CR and the
    USA could both pass us. For that to happen the US would have to beat
    Panama heavily (thus knocking them out completely ) then lose narrowly
    to CR , while CR would have to pile on the goals in their next game.

    Canada - Jamaica 0-2
    USA - Panama 3-0
    El Salvador - Costarica 0-4

    Panama - Canada 3-0
    Costarica - USA 3-0

    That would have CRC and USA on +9 GD, Canada on +8.

    Pretty implausible, but then, it would suit CONCACAF's rockingness

    So for the 2nd and 3rd place automatics and the interconfed (and one of the four teams eliminated outright!), with

    CRC-USA
    MEX-SLV
    PAN-CAN

    You have USA, MEX, and CRC, in some GD order, at 22 and PAN at 21.

    CRC-USA
    MEX-SLV
    PAN-CAN

    You have USA, MEX, and CRC, in some GD order, at 22 and PAN at 21.

    If that happens, Canada is already qualified even with a home loss to
    Jamaica (since Panama can only get to 24, and one, at least of the USA
    and CRC will not get to 25.) This scenario is dangerous for the USA for
    sure, but I don't think it will get there, they have been good at home
    and should get 3 points in their game vs. Panama.

    Which is why I removed CAN from the discussion and only talked about the >other two automatics and the interconfed.

    Come on Canada, Win against Jamaica!

    It wont be like that Edmonton game, but Winter has returned to the Iceberg. The forecast for game time is windy, blowing snow and cold, not that I think Canada needs that to win, but whatever advantage you can get. Probably doesnt matter as most Jamaican players play abroad anyhow.

    They pretty much had already. Goal differential was going to be absurd.
