June 02, 2022:
Panama 2 - 0 Costa Rica

Hopefully Costa Rica doesn't have that same showing against New Zealand on June 14, otherwise they will be out of the world cup. A bit surprising, but, it's only one game. Even USA lost to Canada in the previous edition of the Nations League group stage.

June 03, 2022:
Curacao 0 - 1 Honduras

Honduras gets their first win in a long time. In World Cup qualifying, they got blanked on wins, going:

0W-4D-10L

A really tough go, so, congratulations to Honduras to break free from that tough stretch.

Panama vs. Costa Rica

Today, Costa Rica plays one of two games in the Nations League before taking on New Zealand for the world cup spot on the 14th.

Final: United States 3 - 0 Morocco

Morocco had a tough game tonight. Even after being awarded a penalty shot late in the second half, the kick was high enough to deflect off the upper cross bar and away from the net.

Meanwhile, USA had a quite a performance, taking a 2 - 0 by half time, and converting on an awarded penalty to go up 3 - 0 for the rest of the game.

A slight adjustment can be made to this, crossing Scotland off the UEFA list:

PS1 games that were absent even on the PS3 version of PSN:

Colony Wars 1, 2, & 3

I never understood why these games never made it on the PSN platform. Wipeout XL would of been nice too.

Also, even though it's not that great of a game, Resident Evil Survivor would of been a nice PSN addition. A used copy now can go for $30+ if it is disc only. A complete in box with manual version goes for about $50-$60.

I'm excited to get another USA vs. England match up, those are entertaining games!

Remembering that 1-1 draw back in South Africa 2010! O_O

Rhapsody, that game was ridiculous and hilarious!

I've played a portion of Leaf Green, and that's basically it.

[I like what you did there, Leaf Greed! Brilliant!]

While it might not be the most complex story ever, it does have it's moments where it keeps your attention locked in.

Yes, they did. After winning out Group D with 7 points:
Draw: 3-3 vs. Panama
Win: 4-0 vs. Grenada
Win: 2-0 vs. Honduras

They advanced to the quarter finals:
Win: 3-2 vs. El Salvador

Then the run ended in the semi finals:
Loss: 0-1 vs. USA

Wouldn't it be funny if Qatar and USA fall in the same group?

Hm, a rematch of the Gold Cup Semi Final!

It was a bit of an underwhelming second half for USA, but it's good enough to qualify.

Costa Rica vs. New Zealand

Game 14, March 30, 2022:
Panama 1 - 0 Canada
Jamaica 2 - 1 Honduras
Mexico 2 - 0 El Salvador
Costa Rica 2 - 0 United States

New Zealand rolled to an easy win over Solomon Islands 5-0.

So, it's one step closer to CONCACAF 4th Place vs. OFC:
USA/Mexico/Costa Rica vs. New Zealand

With Interconfederation Playoffs match: AFC vs. CONMEBOL, eliminations have narrowed it down significantly.

Before today's matches:
(U.A.E./Lebanon/Iraq or Australia) vs. Peru/Colombia/Chile

Now, after today's results:
(U.A.E. or Australia) vs. Peru

Chances are, Australia should defeat U.A.E., and then Australia vs. Peru is much more difficult to predict perhaps?

I think that Canada has a reasonable shot at defeating Panama tomorrow. Although, since neither country has anything to really play for in the final game, there might not be much incentive for a really competitive match perhaps?

I doubt that will happen to USA. A realistic worse case scenario is they lose 0-1 or 1-2 at the most.

Canada has been rolling, with the only blemish being the 0-1 defeat to Costa Rica, otherwise, it's been one heck of a run for them. In the last 13 games, 23 goals scored, with only 6 conceded. Not to mention two big wins really put them over as well: 2-1 vs. Mexico* and 2-0 vs. USA.

*I actually watched that game on TV in November. Sure, I had to watch the game on a Spanish channel, but it was worth the craziness to see Canada take down Mexico in a World Cup Qualifier [from the weather report before the game started, that was a cold night in Canada], and at the time, put them ahead of USA by 1 point to top the qualification table with 16 points.

As it stands, Canada had to play through all three rounds, and after 19 games, they are:

14W-4D-1L

Well done Canada, and congrats on the World Cup Qualification!

Now let's see if USA can finish the job against Costa Rica on March 30, or at least not lose by +6 goals, which is the only defeat scenario they have, after the 5-1 victory over Panama yesterday.
