World Soccer XXIII - "Pay" Up Pompey?

Re: World Soccer XXIII - "Pay" Up Pompey?

I thought Canada was making some progress, bit 8-1 is just plain hideous, and in a key match.
 
Re: World Soccer XXIII - "Pay" Up Pompey?

Anyone else have predictions for what the standings are going to look like after the Fourth Round of CONCACAF Qualifying?

1. Mexico
2. Jamaica
3. United States
4. Costa Rica
5. Panama
6. Honduras
 
Re: World Soccer XXIII - "Pay" Up Pompey?

And the Administrator has officially nominated the Portsmouth Supporters Trust to buy the club!

It still may not be viable, as I don't know if they can actually afford to run the club...but it's much better than a crook running the team.

I'd like to think our loss in Jamaica was an indication of our team's disorganization rather than Jamaica's prowess.

I'd say it's about 60% of the former and 40% of the latter...Jamaica's team is quite a bit better relative to the rest of CONCACEF than it's ever been before. Nearly half of their starters have regular playing time in MLS.

I'd love to see the Reggae Boyz in Brazil!
 
Re: World Soccer XXIII - "Pay" Up Pompey?

Considering that #4 in CONCACAF will have a play-in home and home with the #1 OCF (presumably New Zealand), I think there's still a decent shot for Jamaica to make the World Cup even if Hopkinja's prediction comes true.

Lets see how Jamaica handles the "heck of a lot" tougher road games in the Hex before we go predicting glory for them.

I think the only thing that is gonna save Canada at this point is if the MLS and NASL clubs really force themselves into running the CSA. When your FA isn't run well at all you're going nowhere.

It's telling that Vancouver runs their youth academy teams in the USSF DA leagues instead of in Canada.

Right now Canada's FA is as disorganised as any I've seen. Almost as bad as the USA. The only reason the USA is ahead of Canada is because of the talent pool...

There's a big difference between "predicting" and "hoping" they will progress to the round of 32....:)
 
Re: World Soccer XXIII - "Pay" Up Pompey?

MISL starts their season next week. Chicago has picked up a team, but Norfolk folded. The rivalry between Syracuse and Rochester still exists.
 
Re: World Soccer XXIII - "Pay" Up Pompey?

So the CONCACAF Champions League is nearly over with the group stage.

Advancing are Monterrey, Santos Laguna, Seattle, Houston, Herediano (over RSL), Tigres, and LA. Surprisingly Chivas (the real one) needs a win over Xelaju to advance.

Monterrey, Santos, and Seattle are all locked into the 1, 2, and 3 seeds respectively. Everything else is up in the air.
 
Re: World Soccer XXIII - "Pay" Up Pompey?

Liverpool is in a Europa League group with the club Young Boys.

Make your own jokes here. (Bonus points if you use Jerry Sandusky.)
 
Re: World Soccer XXIII - "Pay" Up Pompey?

If one only watched MLS on Sunday's you might think there are only 4 teams in the league - RSL, Seattle, Vancouver and LA. :rolleyes:
