Yea this is far from locked in. I think Canada is the only team clearly in...and they have two games vs crucial opp in the final leg here...They play 2 teams that are nipping at our heels @ Panama and @ Costa Rica....how motivated are they going to be to send there best to these games when they have all but locked up a spot?
With Panama getting a home game out the gate next leg vs "dumpster fire Honderus" and us playing @ Mexico you could be talking a difference of 1 POINT going into the Panama game at home....Mind you this is a Panama team that was very much in the Mexico game last night losing on a Penalty 1-0. Did I mention our final game is at Costa Rica who is also nipping at our heels....If we go out and lay an egg at Mexico and Costa Rica, it really means that the Panama game which is home and in the middle of those two is a MUST WIN...5 teams battling for 3.5 spots or more like 4 teams battling for 2.5 spots because Canada is in at this point and in very good form.
