This is what we have to achieve:
2nd round is played from week 9 until week 13. The top two teams in each group advance to semifinals during week 14 and finals the Friday of week 14. The two finalists qualify for the World Championships. The remaining semifinalists as well as the 3rd placed teams in each 2nd round group qualify for the Second Chance Qualifiers.
First game, very tough, Brasil, 2nd highest in the world, undefeated in round 1. That being said, our enthusiasm is better than theirs. They preferred to beat USA in their last game (a game with nothing on the table) instead of focusing on enthusiasm. There is some rivalry between those two countries as Brasil beat USA last time and took the Continental title.
Second game Peru, fairly strong team, they have the home advantage.
Third game, Ecuador, a team that squeezed through first round with 4 losses and a CT in their last game there.
Fourth game, Uruguay, a team that came in 2nd round with same record as ours 3-2. However, I think we should be able to win this one.
Last game will be vs. Colombia, a team coming from same group as ours. They beat us in round 1 (their CT vs our TIE).
I think qualification is possible, which means we have to finish in top 2 teams. That's what our goal will be. In order to achieve this we should not lose more than 1 game and then we don't care about other results. Even with more than 1 we can qualify, depending on how other games unfold.
This is getting interesting.
