Columbia are currently ranked 7th in South America.

The side that goes to the playoff is the fifth-placed side once you take Brazil out, so in effect, the sixth placed side, which is currently Paraguay.

Either way, I'm glad we're nowhere hear that confederation in these playoffs!

So we're probably looking at the likes of Honduras/Jamaica/T&T/El Salvador. Not bad at all.

Kosta Rica is usually the third best team in CONCACAF (they lost the third spot last time around by conceding in stoppage time of the last game), so they're probably favourites to nab the third spot. Hope they do, they'd easily be the most difficult play-off opponent out of all the possible options.

Nah, think this is the best draw - we got lucky in Asia last time, no guarantees that would happen again. All we need is Kosta Rica to do their business and get third, and everyone else is very beatable.

skysports uk just comfirmed this to, concaf oceania

When doing draws for groups, the pots are *filled* as the teams come out. I expect that format being used for "two team groups" is what created the confusion - but I haven't checked the draw regs to know for sure.

WE really can't complain with the draw - either way, we it was going to be tough getting to the WC, so CONCAF is still much better than South America. This means we NEED to get some games under our belt against these North American teams (esp. the Island Nations) to find out first hand how they play their fooball

Honestly, I think it will be tough. I watched most of the Gold Cup games. Right now I believe Mexico, USA, Kosta Rica, Honduras, Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador and Jamaica would all beat the All Whites. Canada would be a toss-up. Don't know about T&T because they weren't in the Gold Cup.

They should probably concentrate on finishing in the top four in CONCACAF before they do anything else...
