I think Canada is going to win easily, and this is coming from a long time CMNT fan with all kinds of pessimism. The only wildcard is having to go to Haiti, which frankly concacaf or fifa should step in and ban but won't because they are so mickey mouse. I read that their field is astroturf with no proper drainage and it turned into a lake in a recent game which they insisted needed to go on.
Force majeure is basically the only way they are in this series, they don't have half the talent of Suriname and their backline talent level is a major drop off, basically one french second div player and a bunch of lower league players from cyprus, kazahkstan and denmark and not from even the better clubs there.
I mean, it's a step up from caymans as these are all pros but they have losses to El Salvador and Curacao recently which tells you a lot. They basically are a team that gets a good result against a bigger team once in a while on graft but the two legs really reduce canada's risk here and our offence will cut them.
Anyway that's as positive as I get with the CMNT... bring em on
