FIFA World Cup 2014 Qualifying

[Hatman 🍁]

Canada hasn't choked... yet.

We have a good group (that is, fairly weak) with Honduras, Cuba and Panama. We drew Honduras 0-0 last month which isn't that bad, since they're a better team (and it was in Toronto). However, we did play better than them.

Anyone actually want to do a tipping competition for September?

[Hatman 🍁]

I'm willing to organize anything, just thought Earl might want to.

I suppose I could.

[Hatman 🍁]

Canada 1, Panama 0

[Hatman 🍁]

Nooooooo

Canada 0, Panama 2

Terrible, but only our first loss in group play. I think that bumps us down to 2nd in the group.

Canada vs Cuba tonight. We need a win!

Canada vs Cuba tonight. We need a win!

Golly...Cuba. That'll be good preparation for the World Cup

Considering the Canadian men's team, we shouldn't take even Cuba for granted.

[Hatman 🍁]

hahaha USA beats Antigua by just 2-1

Canada wins 3-0 over Cuba. However, bad result in the other game in our pool as Panama and Honduras draw.

[Hatman 🍁]

Cuba only had 11 players because the rest defected, lol

Canada still has a shot, but they'll need to get at least a draw in Honduras, which will be difficult. Possible, but difficult.

And in Europe, Germany won 1-6 so that was sweet. I assume Trappatoni will finally get the sack now.

Oh yeah you are right, there were 4 defections, lol. http://www.thestar.com/sports/soccer/article/1270979--world-cup-soccer-cuba-faces-canada-with-no-subs-in-qualifying

I think we were without our best player (de Guzman) who will miss the next game as well.

8 - 1.

THE F[INKS]

Not quite our worst loss ever (8-0), but a huge surprise considering we drew Honduras in June.
