    United States vs. Costa Rica on ESPN2 9 pm (delayed from 7:00 pm), Replay on Telemundo (Spanish) 10:30
    Mexico vs. Guatemala on Telemundo 8 p.m. (live)

    In these meaningless games for U.S. and Mexico, U.S. coach Bruce Arenas looking at potential starters and good talent off the bench and so will Mexico's Lavolpe, while Guatemala is trying to make fourth. Post other FIFA qualifier games of importance to you, which may interest others.

    Something of interest, because Mexico and U.S. are tied now is TIE-BREAKER situations. As it stands today, U.S. would be 1st place because 3-2 goal difference :( :

    Personally, I'd like for Guatemala to make a late run and outscore Trinidad with only 2 games to go. These guys deserve it more than Trinidad.

    You see, this is the SH*T I hate about the EE.UU. team. :mad: They couldn't beat Costa Rica? WOW. Gimme a friggin' break.

    Who cares if you have already made it to the WC? You should still be winning no matter what. Because of their loss, they won't be able to head a group in the WC Final standing. Is that like playing the last game of an NBA season and losing on purpose so that you can get a high DRAFT PICK? :rolleyes:

    ConCACAF standings with 1 game remaining:
    Team______________ MP W D L GF GA Pts
    Mexico_____________ 9 7 1 1 21 7 22
    USA_________________9 6 1 2 14 6 19
    Costa Rica_________ 9 5 1 3 14 11 16
    Trinidad and Tobago 9 3 1 5 _8 14 10
    Guatemala__________ 9 2 2 5 13 17 8
    Panama_____________ 9 0 2 7 _4 19 2

    VAMOS, Guatemala!!!! :mad:

    YES, I hate the fact that only against MEXICO the U.S. plays well. :p

    And Mexico did so great against T&T. How does it feel to finish second in the group? And behind a team that plays like a bunch of girls and can only play well against one team? :rolleyes:

    How is that like losing to get a high draft pick? If you head a WC group, you avoid all the top seeds seeing you are one yourself. Surely winning would then always be a good thing.

    Yeap. You're correct, an Asian country. Still, I see them beating the Asian country.
