Tonight is the night. Last time Canada was in this position was in 2012 when they just needed a tie or draw to advance to the final World Cup Qualifying round and they lost 8-1 (lol).

 

 

9pm on OneSoccer. Prediction Canada 3-0. We going to bring the hurt real bad to Haiti.

[jays4life19]

Canada win 3-0.

 

Canada advances to the final round of World Cup qualifying which we haven't done in many many years. World Cup here we come.

[jays4life19]

Sooooo in the final round of World Cup qualifying we have:

 

-Mexico

 

-USA

 

- Honduras

 

- Costa Rica

 

- Jamaica

 

- El Salvador

 

- Panama

 

- Canada

 

 

Top 3 teams go automatically to the World Cup and the 4th goes on to play in another play in game for the last spot.

Listening to Ian Hume post game just has me so pumped for the Octo. Great fortune to have the Gold Cup to experiment in preparation for September. Starting it off with the US away and Honduras and El Salvador at home in September. Trudeau better have the f***ing border open by then.

Who plays who, is it a round robin, then the good s***, or knockout?

I haven't looked too much into detail yet but i know they play something like 14 games against these teams and then the top 3 in the standings go right to the World Cup. I'll look more into it this week.

Sounds like a round robin, bro.

[jays4life19]

Fun fact: in 5 WC qualifying games Canada has 30 goals for and 1 against lol.

Each team plays each other twice home and away. We start out against Honduras at home in Spetember, USA away in September and El Salvador at home in September.

 

Top 3 teams make it, but the 4 goes to intercontinental playoffs. 4 teams 2 of those teams make it to the world cup as well.

And Borjan dropped an easy ball and the striker jumped on it. It should have been 0!

Rich people.

big fan of jakheel marshall rutty. know of any other young guys in toronto academy?

[jays4life19]

World Cup Qualifying is one month away! Been trying to decide what the best starting lineup is because honestly we have a ton of options at almost every position but decided on this...

 

in a 3-5-2

 

Larin David

Davies. Osorio Buchanan

Eustaquio Kaye

Kennedy. Vitoria Johnson

Borjan.

 

__________________________________

 

Larin - obvious choice, won the super league as Beskitas best player and lead the league in goals, is likely heading to the EPL.

David - another obvious choice, best player on a champion team in a top 5 European league. One of the best young strikers in Europe

Davies - one of the very best players in the world

Orsorio - high level MLS player

Buchanen - Get use to this name folks, he's in the MLS now but he's going to Europe and is going to do big things. Best player in the Gold cup?

Eustaquio - Another star in the making, plays for a mid tier Portuguese team but is linked to CL clubs like Porto. Him and Buchanen were unstoppable for Canada.

Kaye - MLS All star, top player for the best team in MLS.

Kennedy - Plays in the German League, young kid but has played well for Canada

Victoria - Portuguese league, old as s***, but is a good vetrenzz presents for Canada backline

Johnson - Young promising MLS player, has played amazing for Canada and i think he deserves the shot

Borjan - Champions League goalie

[jays4life19]

There's rumors circling that Chelsea (Champion League winners) have submitted an aggressive offer to land Tajon Buchanan.

 

Not really sure how i feel about this; i'm a huge huge Buchanan fan (see above post) but maybe a mid tier team in a top 5 league would be a more logical next step. I doubt he would play much at Chelsea.

[jays4life19]

...it sounds like the expectation would be that Chelsea would loan Tajon Buchanan out which makes more sense. Edited August 22, 2021 by jays4life19

just read 9.5 mil Euro. That's a big number. 11 mil US is one of the biggest MLS transfers ever. It's nothing for Chelsea. They can throw that money at kids with potential and if they never work out they have no problem selling them for half what they paid. I'd expect a loan deal. My team in the championship could use a player like Tajon on loan! A loan to the Championship would be pretty decent. It's such a competitive league. Every game is a battle.

I absolutely love how this team is shaping up. At this point i'll be extremely disappointed if we don't qualify for the world cup, this team actually has depth and it's just not the Davies and David show anymore....the Gold Cup proved that.

 

We will have European based players who play in their respective leagues on the bench for Canada in World Cup qualifying....crazy.

[jays4life19]

BOB you alive? Will need a 5 page essay on your thoughts of Canada winning the world cup. Thanks.

I looked at your lineup. There's going to be some squad rotation. I wonder if Laryea plays for Kennedy. The team would be loaded with pace. Hutchinson and Kaye will both play. Arfield and Osorio will both play. Hoilett will get his minutes. 3 games in 6 days with a travel for the middle game is a lot. Can't wait to get things started. September 2nd will be here before we know it.

[jays4life19]

Something is happening with Tajon right now... He's on a plane to Frankfurt. Wouldn't say that means he's signing in the Bundesliga as he could have a connecting flight but i suspect we should be hearing something soon

[jays4life19]

Looks like he is going to the Bundesliga

[jays4life19]

Ok I have no idea where he is signing. He IS signing somewhere though in the next 48 hours.

[jays4life19]

Club Brugge it is.

[saskjayfan]

Club Brugge it is.

 

I always wait until it's final. One soccer has him going to Club Brugge, but things can happen at the last minute. Club Brugge would be a decent side for Tajon. Champions league football. Freiburg would have been a good spot for him too.

[saskjayfan]

Games are almost sold out. Honduras Sept 2nd. Man I wish I lived in Toronto so I could go to this game. Let's Go. An 8 to 1 victory would be a fitting score!

It used to be a lot easier to pick the starting 11. We are going to have quality starting worthy players on the bench tonight. I can't wait! I'm going to go 3 to 0 Canada. Statement game!
