No Info onthe USVI roster. Sorry.




From the CONCACAF site:
VIR: Zebadiah Rabsatt (82: Reikichi Anduez-Bell) – Jarrell Maurice Arnold, Augustine Adolphus Woodley, Todd Agustine Gentilucci, Dwayne Virgil Thomas, Daren Subnaik, Cuthbert Martyr, Ian Tracy, Shane Dalton (69: Dennis Liburd), Stephen Walker, Kareem Wrensford (58: Francisco Fonseca). Booked: none
TD: Francisco Williams RAMIREZ

This was a VERY young team. At least four of these guys are U18/19s.

It's going to be worse, as 11 of the 12 "Groups" in the first round (if the current proposal is approved) will have three teams ( 4 matches), double the unnecessary pain.

We are starting to make Oceania look more serious than us!

Canada-USVI second leg just kicked off. Updates on the CSA website:

4-0 Canada after the first 25 minutes....

Looks like another long game for the USVI players.

[TopDogg]

Final score:

Canada 8
USVI 0

Canada now moves on to a much harder matchup against El Salvador.

I expect to see a very different team called up for that series. Hopefully we'll see the likes of DeGuzman, Klukowski, Hume, et al., but I doubt we'll see all of them.

[CanuckFan]

The game is still on with Canada ahead 12-0 with 15 minutes to go. So that's 22-0 on aggregate (and counting).

[TopDogg]

LOL, I just assumed it was the final when I read the score... it's actually up to 13-0 now :)

[Canadian_Supporter]

14-0 now in the 87th minute...

Why did St Lucia get a bye to the next round? Wouldn't it have been better for all concerned if St Lucia played the USVI?

[TopDogg]

Canada squeaks by on a 24-0 aggregate after winng 14-0 in the return leg against USVI.

The only teams that got automatic byes were the USA and Honduras (2000 qualifiers) and Mexico (final tournament host). St. Lucia and El Salvador lucked into byes by being drawn against teams that later withdrew.

ANTIGUA & BARBUDA SUSPENDED BY FIFA, ST. LUCIA EARNS BYE

Panama 4-1 Nicaragua

Panama wins 6-3 on aggregate, will face St. Lucia in second round. Panamá limpió la pobre imagen que dejó el pasado sábado en Managua. Anoche cada uno de los jugadores se brindaron por entero, golearon a Nicaragua con un 4-1, que pudo ser mucho más holgado, dejando por contado que lo del 2-2 había sido una mala noche.


GOLES:
Luis Henríquez abrió el marcador con un potente remate, aprovechando un pase de cabeza de José Garcés después de un centro profundo de Víctor Miranda.

Siete minutos más tarde, Luis Tejada aumentó el marcador, aprovechando una serie de rebotes frente al marco de Espinoza.

Atrás, Baloy estuvo certero en compañía de Luis Moreno y Miranda.

Panamá comenzó conservador pero poco a poco se fue haciendo otra vez del partido hasta darle el puntillazo final con dos goles más, después de desperdiciar por lo menos media docena de goles cantados.

Garcés, al minuto 64, después de una pared con Pérez, marcó el tercer tanto, y sobre el final del partido Juan Ramón Solís cerró la cuenta.

Nicaragua descontó al minuto 74 con un cabezazo de Rudel Calero, con algo de complicidad de Penedo.

It's really too bad there haven't been more of these. Might serve to embarass CONCACAF officials enough to drop the current WCQ structure and go back to the old.

What's embarassing about giving every nation in the Confederation a fair and equal chance to advance to the finals?

[efernandez9]

its simple:

confederation A
confederation B

Should play different set of games, or use the darn FIFA rankings to pair up this poor futbol teams. Among the top 50 ranked (one grp), will play later the top 5 from the rest of the minows(2nd grp). What a waste of time and resources.

[Ronaldinho11]

they should start using some common sense (well that is if they have any)

What's unfair about having preliminary rounds to weed out the pretenders that have absolutely NO shot of success in the later rounds.

Costa Rica 15, Belize 0

Erick Scott with four goals and four assists before being subbed out at minute 75.

According to Belize coach Wilfredo Levy, "We fell to Costa Rica because our system failed, and because one player didn't close down space."
