I have a question: do friendlies still count for world ranking?

Yes. Meanwhile one of Canada’s Gold Cup match didn’t because Martinique isn’t a FIFA member. It would actually have been much better for Canada to fail to qualify for the nation league A group since now we play two fewer games and we got drawn against a bad team (Cuba).

 

This is basically just CONCACAF rigging the qualification process for the big boys. Typical.

Yes there should be at least one spot available for play-in in the hex

The rest have 0.25 spots to fight for amongst themselves. How generous.

I suspect there will be a lot of friendlies among the Central American teams, Canada and maybe a few Caribbean nations in a bid to claim one of the top 6 spots within the region.

this is unfair and extremely stupid . I already feel sorry for 7th CONCACAF team in the World Ranking.

Im surprised CONCACAF approved this, especially since a Canadian heads the organization. I'd imagine Canada would be on the bubble there.

I think it was a big Caribbean voting bloc. They know they won't qualify and get to play waay more matches.

Still even they must know that excluding all, but the top 6 from the hex is foolish.

Education City Stadium is nearing completion. The unique stadium design is covered with glass triangles that change their colour as the sun moves around in the sky
