Group B

Mexico 4 +6 12
El Salvador 4 0 5
Costa Rica 4 +1 4
Guyana 4 -7 1

El Salvador plays Costa Rica at home tonight. If they can get three points, it will eliminate longtime USMNT nemesis Costa Rica from the Hex. It it's a draw, El Salvador will pretty much have to beat Mexico at the Azteca, given that Guyana will assuredly lose to Costa Rica.

Group C

Panama 4 3 0 1 5 1 +4 9
Honduras 4 2 1 1 4 2 +2 7
Canada 4 2 1 1 2 2 0 7
Cuba 4 0 0 4 0 6 -6 0

Canada will play Cuba at home, and hope to increase their goal differential by a wide margin. Honduras must get a result against Panama to force effectively an elimination game against Canada on Tuesday. Panama can clinch qualification with a win.

This upcoming Hex could turn out to be one of the easiest in awhile, if somehow Honduras and Costa Rica fail to qualify.

That being said, I think Costa Rica will get at least a draw in El Salvador despite their recent poor run of form. Honduras is in worse shape. If Canada win big tonight, they may bunker in San Pedro Sula and play for a draw.

Go Canada.

I don't want every damn game in the hex to be against a hispanic country with a hispanic ref on a shitty field.

USMNT nemesis or not, after experiencing the El Salvador/AS Roma friendly, I wanna to see El Salvador flame out.

Also for personal reasons, I hope Canada can get through. My GF really, really hates them since her band was denied entry to Canada a few years ago which makes the possible US/Canada matches a lot more fun.

Dream Hex would be:

USA
Mexico (already qualified)
Canada
Jamaica
Panama (horrible divers, but shittiest Central American team)
El Salvador (see Panama)

They're notoriously strict about work visa paperwork for minor things that even the US/European countries/Japan could care less about.

Her band had a tour lined up and had all the paperwork but it didn't include one afterthought show for fun (the type that's at a bar where the band probably gets a couple of hundred bucks if that). The customs agent spent about an hour on internet researching the entire tour and then denied entry when he found a facebook mention of the show on a fan's page!

I've DJed all over Europe and Japan (for not enough money to cover travel costs) and can say that Canada was the only country that ever hassled me to the point that I had to mail records separately.

Another interesting note:

Guyana is hosting Mexico tonight in Houston and BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston. Might as well make some money for your federation, when your country is effectively eliminated.

@gavinlday Sources saying Cuba has arrived at BMO Field with just 11 players.

Well that should be a fun pub league game for them.

Canada is up 1-0 on Coobah late in the first half.

ETA: Canada goes up 2-0 but Occean was sent off in a scrum to get the ball out of the net. Both Canada and Cuba are down to 10 men.

FT Canada 3 Cuba 0

45' Guyana 0 Mexico 0

Apparently Chicharito tried to chip a penalty, and bounced it off the crossbar.

Hang on Guyana!

0-0 El Salvador and Costa Rica

Come on MS-13 Thug POS's!

Wait, the Jamaica Guatamala game gets the Ray Hudson / Phil Schoen team as announcers? And a decent pitch... This one is almost like a real game...

Costa Rica takes the lead on El Salvador. MS-13 needs to get an equalizer, in order to have any shot at qualification.

MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha) is a street gang comprised mainly of Salvadorans. They are a major problem in LA, and throughout Latin America.

I literally just walked in and turned on the Jamaica/Guatamala match to see:

a corner where fans threw something at the Jamaican player taking the kick all while the Guatemalan GK rolled on the ground faking being elbowed in the face.
