This is the place to post news, updates ,thoughts,youre possible lineups etc.... this is the Final push for Guatemala if they want to qualify Via play off/or if CRC choke( i doubt it) 3rd direct i heard deportivo guatevison that the concacaf team will get the home leg first so that is good news for guatemala if they are able to quailfy 4th and on fifa.com they have confirmed the intercontinnetal playoff schedule http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/050910/1/4m01.html this is the time for guatemala to be the 4th C.A. country to go to the WC ! Vamos Guatemala!
It's going to be a tough journey but in end, i believe this year Guatemala will qualify. Many dissapointing moments for the team and its time for some compensation Anyway with a full squad, i think they have it in them... not only to make it to the world cup but to play decently there (not being blown out or getting one or more points).
I believe Panama will beat them and then it will come down to the final week and Guatemala has a good chance. I dont think were going to win in mexico but then we end at home and thats a good sign.Did anyone wacth that show jorge ramos en vivo on Fox Sports el Primi was intervied and talked about the chances of calling up a foreign born player. I think if any player could be called up it should be Israel Souza(BRA) of Xelaju, I dont see anything bad in doing this, the guy has made it clear he wants to play for Guatemala, and it wasnt recently he mention this many times months ago.
the thing is we need friendlies to test these players at the international level, Israel Souza is a good player but hasn't played on a National team ever, so we don't know if he can peform. good suggestion thought , he can proably can be a good "B" level player when we compete in GC or any other tourney
TT will beat Panama next matchday. Panama is deflated and mentally and psychologically shattered. Oh and another point.....Panama will be missing a few of their starters through suspension, so a win looks for TT looks more than likely. It will come down to the wire for both teams, but I like the Reds chances
Panama has been much tougher at home. TnT will be lucky to get a point in Panama. Costa Rica should qualify on Oct. 8, so Guatmala will have a much earsier final match day than TnT. Guatamala doesn't have it in the bag, but I'll bet they'll get the playoff spot. Guatamala has the tie breaker over Tnt. If Guatamala catches Costa Rica, they'll have the tie breaker over them also. (For Gua and CRC to tie, it takes a CR-US draw, and Guatamala victories over Mexico and CostaRica.)
Panama is deflated....all they want is to see the end of this nightmare hex they've had. Determination and grit is what will see TRI through matchday 9
Not worried.....tha Reds know what they have to do to advance. I'll admit psychologically guats got the edge with that home point they got in the last game, but we all know that Mex will win the next game so the pressure will be on for them to beat CRC at home
well forget everthing else lets get back to topic the guatemalan national teams and their player pool for the next two games : GK situtation; klee has been spectacular for guatemala, but currently ricardo foster is the Best keeper in the country he averages .66 ga per game and his club Marquense is first place but if it's not broke don't fix it DF: Swisher has to be called back becuase on the Intllevel cabrera gets owned on 1v1 and swisher is just a better defender overall and is on the polania warsaw staring Xl unlike cabrera who yet to debut for his club and show anything. MF Moving the ball better just they need to communicate better with there defence more because they where sending long balls to the top against the usa instead of passing to the midfield we need the Next Martin machon if we had a player with similar attributes are mid would drastically improve as far as creativity & chalo is not him . ATT Dwight and Carlos nuff said they need to be on the field together and they will get it done
maybe even less ? Panama wasn't that good then either... however, Panama isn't looking too good lately and will be missing players... BUT they are at home and they look like they could use a point or three to lift their spirits. I think this game can go either way.
And the record shows that they've never lost yet. Panama is shattered and it shows, so we will see what happens then.
panama could be out to Fvck up our chances but size wise they will match up with T&T and tactically they are 10 times better the squads they had prior to there last 7 encounters. maybe panama will return the favor lets hope
Not disputing that Panama is much better than in previous years but they haven't had the mental strength to win so far. If TRI scores first, Panama will self destruct like they did against Mex
All I know is that Panama is a hard team at home and can easily win this game, I also know they can mess up and give up those points. Iam from Guatemala, that means I want Panama to beat up on TnT if it was up to me the final score would be something like 10-0 in favor of Panama. I dont think Guatemala can win in mexico, I know its not impossible but I dont see them winning, against costa rica at home Guatemala will win. It will come up to the final game of the Hex and then were going to know.
Yea I can understand why you would want Panama to win as they hold your WC hopes in their hands, but the reality of this hex shows they've failed to win home or away this year........ so I think that should pretty much tell you that they will LOSE at home on matchday 9 It will come down to that last game and the pressure will be on both teams, but if TT wins there Panama tie(which i think they will) then more pressure will be on guats to beat CR, cuz if you tie and TT were to lose to Mex then you would be eliminated.
No net yet. i dont want to worry about that quite yet, i got college and stuff to have pan/tt and mex/guate in the head right now. but there should be some news coming up soon after next week and i will be posting like crazy
