rest of the world hasn’t done one-team-in-white like American sports have, in the days of B&W TV it must have been hard
Back in the 1978 World Cup thee was one match where they had B&W TV equipment so they made one team change their kits so the public could tell them apart.

California. Duh.
I think another goal could drop Mexico into 4th. Time to start the Tata Watch?

Aw, we lost the announcers. I guess there won't be any more Star Wars and Happy Days references that his younger broadcast partner clearly wasn't getting.

Mexico really does not want to be on this pitch.

this is an instant classic. Canadian players jumping in the snow after the second goal was just pure joy

Yeah, Canada end with Panama away, but the rest of their away games are Honduras, El Salvador, and Costa Rica. They're done with Mexico and get the US at home. They're in great shape.

The Canadians’ remaining schedule is:

@Honduras 1/27
Vs USA 1/30
@El Salvador 2/2
@Costa Rica 3/24
Vs Jamaica 3/27
@Panama 3/30

Those away matches can be scary, so Canada isn’t home free, but they should be in decent shape.

It looks like Canada has the easier upcoming schedule (done with Mexico with the US being done with Jamaica). Both teams are playing at Honduras, El Salvador, and Costa Rica.

vs. El Salvador — Jan. 27
at Canada — Jan. 30
vs. Honduras — Feb. 2
at Mexico — March 24
vs. Panama — March 27
at Costa Rica — March 30

I still am giddy over that CAN-MEX game. The final was 2-1 but this was a game where one side just plain didn’t want to be there.

Yep … Mexico didn’t really start to play until their first goal. Was almost like “ this sucks .. get me out of here” switched to “hey .. we have an actual game - forget about the conditions and just play”

Love having an actual home field advantage - mind you the condition of the field probably hurt Canada more than Mexico.

Our Concacaf representative in the Club World Cup, Rayados, is trailing CAF champions Al Ahly late in 70th minute. Monterrey’s neighbors Tigres reached the final last year.
