CONCACAF Nations League - A new competition for national teams

http://www.eloratings.net/Turks_and_Caicos says they played their first game on February 24, 1999 and this was their 21st game. They have 3 wins, 1 draw, and 17 losses.

 

Turks and Caicos also had 9 beach soccer games in 2017 according to FIFA. And 3 back in 2015.

 

https://t.co/cArl10YQEu In 2014, while studying the viability of a Caribbean League for Concacaf, we suggested the idea of a Nations League similar to what Uefa was planning. To say the idea wasn't well received is an understatement. Glad to see current leader has better vision.

Standings look wild lmao

 

Haiti beat Sint Maarten 13-0. Duckens Nazon scored 5 goals. That gives him 15 national team goals at age 24. Emmanuel Sanon has Haiti's career record with 19. To compare, Jozy Altidore has the third most goals in USMNT history and could break the record shared by Donovan and Dempsey. Altidore had 21 goals at the age Nazon is now.

Curacao leads Grenada 3-0.

 

This was a clinical massacre

Due to the format of the qualifiers, goal differential makes a HUGE difference. That's why they are killing weak opposition because League A and B with Gold Cup might come down to goal differential

 

Yeah, I am too.

I just shows how bad these nations needs to play more often against nations in their own league.

CONCACAF Nation League is exactly what was needed for us all.

 

Curacao beats Grenada, 10-0. Another massacre.

 

So far due to Goal differential

League A

1. Haiti +13
2. Cuba +11
3. Curacao +10
4. Canada +8
5. Dominican Republic +5
6. French Guiana +5

Meaning that Jamaica would go to League B

Hence the importance of destroying your opponents if you get the chance
