Just like I predicted -- Canada 4, Suriname 0. I knew they were going to win. Now time to dispatch Haiti in 4 and 7 days.

Are there enough players living on the island of Haiti to form a team?

No kidding.

Haiti is dangerous. They beat Canada in the 2019 Gold Cup -- a come from behind victory. However, I think Canada should prevail.

Man, El Salvador has such an easy path to the octagonal. They will definitely beat St. Kitts and Nevis. I wish Canada were in El Salvador's position. But then again, if Canada can't beat the likes of Haiti, what right do we have to be mentioned with the likes of Mexico and USA in CONCACAF?

Going into Haiti right now isn't going to be easy. It has rained for a week straight and the pitch will be like playing on a pond. Haiti is also a brutal place to be politically and pandemic wise. If we come out of there with a draw it will be a huge win.

2nd leg tomorrow. The pitch was horrible in Port au Prince. Much better one in Illinois. Canada win.

Canada Honduras. Sept. 2. At BMO Field. Should be good, or bad.

Go buy tickets, Torontonians. Living in Victoria, I cant go. But you should go and support the team. Or not.

Go Canada.

3rd after 6 games. Next 2 home games in Edmonton vs. Costa Rica and Mexico will be the make or break games.

Canada v. Costa Rica on Nov. 12 in Edmonton. Gonna be pretty chilly. Costa Rica might be missing their goalkeeper due to something or rather.

I predict a win, loss or tie for Canada and/or Costa Rica.

That's an interesting point of view. I would like to take some time to discuss that with you. We could collaborate on a research paper to test that assumption.

Les Rouges v. El Tri. Tues Nov 16. Bad pitch, possible flurries, and minus temps. I love it.

I predicted 2-1 Canada win in my previous post.

With this win, this should put us at #1 on FIFA ranking. If we are not, there must be some shady business going on with FIFA. Probably anti-Canadian bias.

No one posted about the best national football team in history and winner of the 2022 World Cup since November?

Anyway, Canada has some cute games against 3 victims in the coming weeks. Canada must win. Any Canadian losses will clearly be due to biased refereeing.
