Mexico vs Guadelopue in-game thread

because they aren't a country. They're a department of France. Like Puerto Rico is a department of the United States. Just like Basque or Catalonia. That is what mkes them FIFA ineligible.

 

where the hell did guadeloupe come from? they look better than all the US's group opponents.

 

We may have illegitimately beaten Canada but at least we weren't tied 0-0 with Guadeloupe at the half

 

45 more minutes for guadeloupe... if mexico loses how much pressure is hugo sanchez under?

 

0-0 at half time. From this, which one would you want playing the US on Sunday? I can't decide from this.

 

They're not exactly here as a "filler". They are here because they qualified to be here by finishing 4th in the Carribean Nations Cup. This is one of those technicalities. I believed they are a recognized "nation" - as in having a nationality. But they are not a self-governing country.

 

None. He'd be unemployed. I guess that could be considered pressure, but you get my drift.

 

None. He'll be fired.

 

Hopefully the weaker side, Mexico, can get a lucky win out of this so we don't have to try too hard in the final.

 

I didn't realiz they were a French possesion. Makes perfect sense now.

Also I found this link which explains it jsut after I posted my question.

yea mexico will be saying "look you were one of the best players ever, but you are a ************ ass coach!!!"

 

yeah, they're, umm, not doing so well with him in charge.

 

none, because he'll be without a job.

 

pretty even??? are you watching the game. don't have the numbers but the possession looks to be 80/20 in favor of mexico. guadeloupe is lucky to be 0-0. no one can defend for 90, they need some kind of attack.

 

one would assume he gets fired. the mexicans have far less patience for incompetence than we do. especially considering the shitstorm sanchez stirred up in order to get the job.

 

no one can defend for 90 minutes? Have you ever seen a CONCACAF game before?

 

i have a wierd feeling Mexico is going to pull out the win unless Guadelopue scores twice like they did against Honduras. that would be amazing but i doubt the soccer gods are with them tonight.

 

Curious as to how much money it costs Guadeloupe and Martinique to be 'associate' members of CONCACAF?

 

well, they had one chance cleared off the line in the first few mintues.
