There is absolutely no reason why we can't beat Panama home and away in September.
I expect us to take 6 points in September, and at the very least 4 points.
Why worry about the points? Just beat Honduras and you are almost guaranteed a place in the Hex.

I am hoping that we will get 3 draws (Panama x 2 + Honduras), a win versus Cuba and that the Panama – Honduras game will end up as a tie so the final standings would be:
Panama -12
Canada-10
Honduras-9
Cuba-0
I think in the next 3 games, Canada gets two home wins and an away loss, giving us 10 going into the last game. Honduras gets a win and a draw (on that awful pitch) against Cuba and a draw at panama. That gives them 6 going into the last game. So we clinch after 5.
A man can hope!
I think that's realistic. Draws in Panama/Honduras would be crucial but the bottom line here is win the two home games and we're laughing, we gotta go for it at home to Cuba and Panama. Cuba is pretty much guaranteed to be out and Panama is pretty much guaranteed to go through so draws will do literally nothing for us... throw it all at them!
I think we all knew there was going to be a few tests if we were going to qualify for the World Cup. I think the September games are our first real test. We need to take 4 points from Panama to keep control of our fate. Realistically, if we can't take out Panama can we really expect to qualify for the World Cup?
The real tests come in September when we face Panama If we can get at least 4 points I think we will be able to qualify.
If we keep playing like we have been playing I have no doubt we will go to Brazil, would be nice to see Hoillet on the squad too to seal the deal.
I see us beating Panama at home losing to them away, then drawing Honduras, and finally a win at home versus Cuba. That gives us an extra 7 points, putting us on 11 and through to the HEX!
The big game is Panama at home, must win!
