gunnar hendershow Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 What I saw today was not easy on the eyes. I expected a draw, and the loss isn't a catastrophe but there's a not much of me that worries about the U.S. chances of qualification. The "worst case scenario" is going to the playoff against presumably New Zealand. The safe picks are Mexico, U.S., and Honduras (in that order) but if Panama is able to get some points off of the U.S., Honduras, or Mexico there's a fear that the U.S. will be looking at 4th in the Hexagonal. As of now the only nation I'm really counting out is Jamaica, but they could play a nice role of spoiler by getting a few points in their home matches.

HailtotheYo Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Jamaica should be winning right now. And Ruiz with an ugly bicycle kick to tie the Costa Rica/Panama match at 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGo Yubari Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Definitely hoping the Costa Rica/Panama draw holds.Jamaica beating Mexico I wouldn't be so happy with, but it would be a good reminder that CONCACAF is deep and the playing field is getting more and more even.

US gets a favor with the "surprise minnow" Belize in their group. Mexico avoids the trap match up of El Salvador. Pretty equal groups and the favorites should advance. Semi-Finals in Jerryworld in Dallas, and the Final at Soldier Field in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szumi Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I want to get tickets for the Quarterfinal in Baltimore in hopes that America finishes top of the group, but I don't want to buy tickets just for Costa Rica to end up the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailtotheYo Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 That was ridiculous to watch. Kudos to Costa Rica for wanting to continue the match just as much as we did. The new unis look fantastic by the way. So uh, yeah ... everyone looked pretty good actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
