So, Quarter-Finals are: Mexico v Guatemala Costa Rica v Honduras Panama v El Salvador Jamaica v USA or Canada If USA beat Guadeloupe or tie, then USA will go through to play Jamaica. Canada will only go through if Guadeloupe defeat USA.
Question. Why doesn't Jamaica face the other third? Weren't they the only other team to win all its games? Why are they having to face the more difficult gringos or Canucks (speaking of Canucks, how about that disastrous Stanley for Vancouv?) instead of the ES?
It was decided before the tournament who played who. So form in the actual tournament doesn't matter. My guess is USA and Mexico (as the best 2 teams in CONCACAF) were expected to top Groups A and C, and this is why the winners of these 2 groups were slated to face the 3rd place teams. The winners of Mexico/Guatemala face Costa Rica/Honduras in one semi, while the Panama/El Salvador winner faces Jamaica/USA/Canada.
El Salvadorrr, El Salvadorrr, El Salvadorr...... hijos de ********, hijos de ********...hijos de ********. hijos de pootas, hijos de poota...hijos de pootas.
Well, it's what usually happens in tournaments - the top 2 seeds get the easiest route to the final - that's the benefit of being seeded.
Brother, I'm on cloud nine. Our squad HAS to pull through with that support they'll have in the stadium. I guarantee at least 25k Salvadorans will be in attendance! Myself included.
In before this thread gets hijacked any more. Good job, Salvatruchos, hope you build on this momentum. Israel, with very little time, is getting the best out of your players, and I firmly believe that you guys gave us the toughest match in group stage. What De Los Cobos and, now, hopefully, Israel are doing is great for la Selecta. Best of luck, and hope that a corrupt federation doesn't get in the way of progress.
it was on sportsnet one, actually the american game is as well (though the result seems very unlikely to help Canada right now.
Yeah, it sucks for a team like Jamaica, to be fair, but FWIW, Copa America does the same thing, so I guess this is what we get.
I really like that draw we got. When we beat Panama we don't have to face Mexico. I think we might go farther then I unticipated.

I suggest doing away with the Gold Cup, and having a tournament that is like a qualification for a world Cup with an eventual winner being declared concacaf champions. Start in the fall of the world cup year and finish in early 2012. Start world cup qualification in mid 2012 and go from there. (years are used from current world cup cycle) What do you guys think?
i've never lost any faith, on ES. what i like is that, ES has got a bunch of hungry youngsters along with fito. they bust their balls, in every ball.
it did, looked more like a pigskin's game touchdown. why? dont you canucks, ever complain to the ref? it bugs me, how cool you guys are.
