That is all.

Now I am even more mad about this loss. Not only did it cost Canada a spot in the semifinals, it might have cost Canada a spot in the HEX!


U.S., Mexico straight to Hex in new CONCACAF format


1. Mexico
2. USA
3. Costa Rica
4. Jamaica
5. Honduras
6. El Salvador
----------------
7. Panama
8. Canada

The top six-ranked teams in the FIFA rankings after the June 2020 international window will automatically be included in the home-and-away Hexagonal. The top three will qualify for Qatar 2022.


The teams that aren't in the Hexagonal will be involved in a separate tournament involving the teams ranked between seventh and 35th. Those 29 teams will be drawn into eight groups, with the winners of those groups advancing to a knockout phase. The country that wins the knockout phase will play against the fourth-placed finisher in the Hexagonal in October 2021 for a spot in the FIFA intercontinental playoff.

Canada has until June 2020 to get into the Top 6. Will need a good performance in the Nations Cup against USA and Cuba plus other friendlies.
