    Well I don't think it's time to bash the players (aunque tirarle mierda a cualquiera de nuestras selecciones seems to be THE national pass time). Most people talking shit rn don't even watch the futsal league (me included).

    Having said that, whatever criticism they get is well deserved. On paper we should be in the top 2 of the region, at worst we should at least be able to compete and not be humiliated. We have arguably the best league in the Concacaf. It should show during our competitions.

    Tentative reasons for under achievement (we did qualify for the WC so it's not a complete failure)

    *The coach isn't convincing enough

    * We're going through a transition period since most of the old guard has retired

    *The other countries are growing

    *The players we're producing are simply not as good as the ones we had before

    Paraguay otra vez?? We beaten them before in the Grand Prix.

    Italia me asusta!

    If we're lucky we might beat Vietnam. We suck this time around.

    I love how Panama and the host Colombia got grouped together. That's gonna be epic.

    Not a good look honestly, playing at home against an inferior opponent. There were many wasted opportunities.

    Earlier Panama beat Canada via PKs to qualify to the World Cup.

    USA and Costa Rica have also already qualified.

    The winner of Guatemala/El Salvador qualifies as the the 4th and last Concacaf spot.


    Game live here.

    What a roller coaster of a game!!! You will have to see this for yourselves. :eek:

    Guatemala has now qualified for their 5th FIFA Futsal World Cup.



    Guatemala 2-2 El Salvador after regulation. During the extra times the game turned into a 3-3 draw leading into PKs.

    From Concacaf only Guatemala and Costa Rica WON games at the Futsal World Cup. The United States and Panama left winless.
