Atiba’s gotta be on the WC roster right? Atiba will definitely be taken if not to play then for a leadership role. Dude has given it all for Canada and deserves this at the very least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much of our team is young, so we'll be competitive in CONCACAF the next decade and beyond, like you say. This is really exciting for the game here. Forrest was the face of Saturday morning Football (PL mostly, though he did decent analysis of Serie A) here for most of my youth and 20's. He's a great human being, super approachable and you can't help but feel the feels when you see that reaction. He's a great ambassador of the game for Canada, a pro's pro. Whatever that means. I know Forrest's ex and while she says he's the most boring human ever, him and Gerry Dobson were the face of PL coverage growing up here. Seeing him that excited is pure lovely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 With tonight’s results, if Canada beat Panama tomorrow, then they will move up from Pot 4, and into Pot 3 for the draw. A draw would mean they would win the CONCACAF qualifying group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikenewcastle Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Disappointing results in a lot of these play offs. Would have been nice to see some new faces at the World Cup but it looks like Qatar will be the only debutants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Draw on Friday and all the pots more or less done. Teams from same confederation can't be put into the same group except for two UEFA side. Pot 1: Qatar, Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, France, England, Portugal, Spain Pot 2: Mexico, USA, Uruguay, Switzerland, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands Pot 3: Iran, Senegal, Morocco, Serbia, Tunisia, Poland, South Korea, Japan Pot 4: Canada, Ghana, Cameroon, Saudi, Ecuador, Australia/UAE/Peru, Wales/Scotland/Ukraine, New Zealand/Costa Rica Potential to be some pretty fun groups and group A could potentially be the worst one ever at a World Cup. As a top seed, do you prefer to be in Group B for a potentially easier match in the knock-out stages or Group C so you get 1A v 2B potentially in the quarter-finals?
