    First place is up for grabs again during these rounds. A USA win against El Salvador would end the Central American World Cup hopes and would allow USA to regain the lead, while a Mexico win would mean a tie with Costa Rica in first or third place, depending whether Honduras can hold off Trinidad. It's insane. :eek: May the best teams win!

    I was discussing the standings with a coworker earlier and there are some interesting facts:
    The top 3 teams are playing at home and favorites to win on Saturday.
    The bottom 3 teams can surprise with a win away, but it is not probable.
    The bottom 2 teams cannot reach first or second place but can reach fourth or third (displace the USA or MEX), but it is not probable.
    The bottom 2 teams can lose but are mathematically still able to reach the World Cup by winning the last 3 games.

    Took a photo earlier of this jersey I am wearing today... and will wear the green one tomorrow:

    :eek: SI SE PUEDE.

    Mexico better win. It would be a huge let down if they lose.

    Can someone explain to me a scenario in which Trinidad gets in. Looks pretty bad for us and Sat is a must win in Honduras as well as against The Yanks. C'mon Soca Warriorz!!!!

    The USA should be in first with 16 points after these next two matches....and probably wins the group with 19 or 20 points overall.

    3-0 US. They're pissed about the 1st game against El Salvador. They're pissed about the last Mexico game. They can all but clinch with 2 wins this week. There will be no doubt about the outcome of this game.

    EDIT: Telemundo will have the Brazil vs. Argentina in tape delay on Sunday (or is it Saturday? Check listings, please). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(CONMEBOL)#Argentina_v_Brazil shows the game time.
    Trinidad cannot reach as 1st place anymore, but can assure 3rd or 4th place if they beat two of either HON, MEX, and USA (can no longer reach Costa Rica). :eek:

    I think ESV can tie USA and get closer to 4th place. I really don't want HON to go. They are not as good as ESV, but better than TRI.

    TRI came back to tie ESV at ESV and so did the USA. These are the only other points ESV has salvaged other than also beating Mexico.

    USA's team at Sandy, Utah:
    We might see Torres start this one, since it will be "light" and he did well against CRC... who do you all think will start?

    Mexico's Team in San José, Costa Rica, and whom I expect to start in BOLD:
    :eek: Rafael Márquez and Carlos Vela are both nursing injuries and weren't called. I am also expecting Blanco to start in the midfield and retain possession to distribute the ball for Dos Santos and Nery Castillo.

    Watching it online on 360.

    It's 2-1 USA. Just scored 2 goals in the last 5min or so of the first half.

    Half time now.
