With three games left these are the standings:
Team MP W D L GF GA Pts
1. Honduras 7 4 1 2 14 7 13
2. USA 7 4 1 2 13 9 13
3. Mexico 7 4 0 3 11 9 12
4. Costa Rica 7 4 0 3 9 12 12
One of these teams will lose out on an automatic ticket.
Only Mexico has 2 home games left. The rest have 1 home game and 2 away games remaining.
Mexico has the easiest schedule, playing Honduras and El salvador in the Azteca and a game at T and T.
The US has a tough schedule. They have to play at Honduras, arguably playing the best soccer of the group. Their home game is against Costa Rica, also tough.
The toughest schedule belongs to Honduras. Aside from the home game against USA, they have to travel to Mexico and El Salvador.
UP until yesterday, Costa Rica was in the lead. Now they are in fourth and falling apart at the seams. My bet is this is the team losing out.
