What did you say the strategy was?

stab posted:

The game gave canada a chance to cap 3 players with other nation eligibility for the 1st time. Given their history of getting hosed over by dual eligible players, it's massive to cap-tie them.

Funny how we get a World Cup and now all these kids want to play for us huh? (Ps kids its not official that Canada/Mexico/USA will get auto spots)

Capping new players is great, but the game itself was very much a going through the motions game.

Is concacaf going to seven spots or six? Canada's troubles to make the hex mean I'm not suuuuper convinced they'll be able to get in if it's six unless the format changes. When was the last time Canada beat a central american team away? Even El Salvador with half their team on strike managed a draw.

Maradona in "cocaine's a hell of a drug".

October 13th:

Maradona posted:

"We shouldn't deify Messi any longer," he told Fox Sports. "He's Messi when he plays for Barcelona. Messi is Messi when he wears that shirt, and he's another Messi with Argentina.

"He's a great player but he's not a leader. It's useless trying to make a leader out of a man who goes to the toilet 20 times before a game."

October 20th:

Maradona posted:

"I know who Leo is," Maradona, who is coaching Mexican side Dorados de Sinaloa, said after his team's 3-2 win at Mineros de Zacatecas at the weekend. "I know he is the best in the world. If 20 players go to the bathroom before a game, I never mentioned Lionel Messi.

"What happens is that people want to put me in confrontation with Messi and they can't. They can't."
