You're right if we get everyone to come we may be able to move into the next stage of qualifying but if one individual (at least the guys we have so far) comes and the others don't then that one guy is pretty much stuck playing for not much.

Maybe I have seen Canada soccer so terrible recently and that Honduras game sticks in my mind but I am not sure that even with those 3 Canada qualifies for the WC. Although it does seem like the real young guys (u-21's) may have the kind of talent to get them into the WC if they stick around.
Honduras was a gong show but it obscured a pretty decent campaign to that point.

They missed the hex by 1 point. To illustrate how close they were, they tied Honduras 0-0 at home in Toronto and outshot them like 14-2 or something, hit the post.

In the hex, 4 of 6 teams made the world cup, and one of the 6 was Jamaica, who are just in shambles right now.

They were close last time around. But yeah that Honduras result was so bad.
