It will be perfect preparation for them before they come up against us.


Everyone seems to be assuming Mexico will be our opponents - but it's by no means certain.

Lets remember table and points situation of three teams chasing third and fourth qualifying spots is:  

3. Honduras : 11 pts   4. Panama : 8 pts  5. Mexico : 8 pts

Mexico fixtures:  12/10/13 Mexico v Panama   16/10/13 Costa Rica v Mexico  If Mexico get some results could finish third if Honduras fail to win any of their two games: 12/10/13 v Costa Rica (H); 16/10/13 v Jamaica (A)

But then again, Honduras only has to win one game to almost guarantee finishing third (goal difference would almost assure it).

Panama has a good chance of finishing in fourth place ahead of Mexico - e.g. if they draw away in Mexico and then beat USA at home. USA have already qualified, so no real incentive for them to go all out to win.

One unlikely but possible scenario is Jamaica could still finish fourth if neither Mex. nor Pan. manage to win a game and Jam. win both theirs.

Goal difference : Hond 10 : 10    Pan. : 7 : 9     Mex.: 4 : 6   So that's pretty tight as well.

Seems may be some broadcasts of the last two rounds of CONCACAF qualifying on Premier League Pass:

"PLP...is investigating carrying the remaining Concacaf games that will determine who the All Whites meet for the right to go to Brazil next year."
