Absolutely they were points dropped. But, considering the fact that El Salvador parked the bus, and the game was played on a terrible pitch, it was not the worst result in the world. Canada held the play and had all but one of the quality scoring chances, just couldn't finish. But that's not exactly a new issue with the team.
If Honduras and El Salvador split their games, we're in the drivers seat. That being said, for me it looks like it will come down to getting points in Honduras. For Canada to really get a sense of if they have actually improved in the last 4 years, it just kind of seems right that they are in the same position as last cycle. And for the record I don't think we will get a result in Honduras, but it won't be an 8-1 drubbing.
As an aside, given that the playing surface was so bad last night, how many people wish the game was played on a surface as good as the one in Vancouver?
