The Road To The Desert: World Cup 2022 Qualification

[Tony Towner]

England would beat Canada 9 times out of 10. The UK element would reduce that against Wales and Scotland

I see the Canadians are going to surprise some folks...

They're head and shoulders the class of CONCACAF at the moment, even without Davies healthy.

Tallest dwarf...

Well we can't all be born to one of the anointed regions (UEFA/CONMEBOL). Some of us have to live with 0.000000001% chance of ever seeing the semis, let alone lifting the damn trophy.

Canada are legitimately good, I genuinely think they're the toughest Pot 4 nation and it's frankly silly that the US and Mexico are seeded higher.

 

[Tony Towner]

We'll revisit when their record is D1 L2

If that's how it plays out I will be shocked.

Austria have just lost to Wales and therefore not qualified.

Id expect Austria to beat Canada.

They finished on the same points as a wank Mexico side that most of the Mexican Twitter followers wanted Hernandez back upfront in place of Raul..

 

[Alan]

We’ll see! I think they will catch a lot of people napping.

Maybe so but I questioned your use of 'head and shoulders the class' as a bit outrageous..

 

[Del Woppio]

It's just Charlotte's form going to his head

Having watched them (and Mexico, and the US) throughout qualifying, there’s no doubt in my mind that Canada are the best side in the region.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wales would fucking batter Canada.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Wales would fucking batter Canada.

I mean come on......

 

[Alan]

All I can say is that John Herdmen is working small miracles for them. They were the first in CONCACAF to qualify, and that wasn't a fluke.

Crazy to think that they were already eliminated before COVID.

I love Canada especially Vancouver. I saw Bradley Wright Phillips destroy Whitecaps at BC Place and also got accosted by Wolverhampton Wolfs Canadian supporters club. I shit you not I wore a Wolves shirt and they collared me, there is a pic floating round the internet of said meeting. Wish I could find it.

 

[Alan]

Love that. I desperately want to get up there some time, maybe even catch a match somewheres.

For everyone else, suffice to say that Canada's relative dominance of the region during this qualifying round caught everybody here by surprise, too. Something legitimately special is happening with that team.

[Del Woppio]

What a piece of piss group this is shaping up to be

 

[Jack Regan]

No real group of death in any of those.
