Canada, the third team in the Concacaf World Cup qualifiers with thirteen points, one of the United States and Mexico, will receive this Tuesday in the eighth appointment, a trio arriving injured and disgraced after losing again with Baras and the stars. The Canucks have come from less to more in the final eight of the qualifying rounds for Qatar and they want to fish in a turbulent river against a Mexican team that is disturbing their fans without coach Gerardo Martino showing up to find the formula for football production. reliable at the moment.
The Canadians, led by Briton John Herdman, are the only unbeaten team in the Octagon and will host their critical rival at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, which has become a true venue. Those led by Martino suffered their third defeat in a row to their arch-rival on Friday and had to surrender to share the top, although their scoring tally is lower. The annoyances increased for Martino on Saturday as he was forced to release defender Hector Moreno from focus who did not recover in time from a muscle injury.
Martino will be left without a centre-back, one of the positions that has caused him the biggest problems in the Mexicans’ recent knockout matches. The United States, who took the lead with a 2-0 win over El Tree in Cincinnati, will visit Jamaica, who need three points at La Oficina in Kingston to continue to reclaim their home ground after being bottom of the list. Costa Rica, which is sidelined due to the injury of its captain and reference Keylor Navas, has already turned the page of a painful defeat against Canada and in the needy match will face Honduras, the bottom of the octagonal final.
It will be a duel with two Colombian coaches on the bench, Luis Fernando Suarez in Costa Rica and Hernan Dario Gomez in Honduras. Panama, which has fourth place with 11 points, and whose consolation prize is to play a rematch for a place in Qatar, will face El Salvador, which occupies the penultimate place with only six units. El Salvador is not losing hope of regaining the land it has lost or, at worst, overburdening its competitors’ lives with better options.
