OT: USWNT CONCACAF Semifinal vs Jamaica 8PM FS1

[eebmg]

Canada into the finals and already qualified to WC. US should win handily.

Update 1. USA scores 2' in. (1-0).

Update 2 15'.. Rapinoe makes it 2-0 with a fantastic shot on the roof of goal off a 50 yard perfectly threaded cross field pass from Dolkemper.

Update 3 21' Dunn beautiful cross to Ertz. 3-0.

Update 4 28'. Horan perfect pass to Heath 4-0.

Update 5 33' Alex Morgan 5-0. Getting tired.

CONCACAF....? Something you can take for that I hope.

Now 5-0 with Morgan scoring.
If I didn't know better, I would say that Jamaica is playing down two players. The USA is that dominating this game.

Jamaica will have another chance to qualify for the “big” tournament when they play for third place. Canada and USA are both assured of a berth.

It would be nice if the important 3rd place game is on TV ??

They actually will have two more chances. The loser of the 3rd place game will play a two-game series with Argentina for a World Cup spot. If that were a men's game, playing Argentina would be a daunting task. However on the women's side, Jamaica (or Panama) will have a legitimate chance.

It will be on Fox Sports 2, as will the later championship game.

Yes. Thanks for the correction. BTW, good to see the USA attack from the wings once again. They seemed to go away from that for awhile, trying to push everything through the middle. Few teams have the speed and skill on the flanks that USA does.

Does anyone know why two games, and more especially, why Argentina?

Does anyone know why two games, and more especially, why Argentina?

From wikipedia


"A fourth team will qualify if they win the play-off against the 2018 Copa América Femenina (The South American Qualifying Tournament that already finished) third-placed team, Argentina."

So in summary, Concacaf + Copa have a total of 6 slots into the world cup 3 + 2 + 1 from direct 4th place Concacaf vs 3rd place Copa

I am guessing 2 games is a home and home for fairness.
