Panama get the late equaliser to draw 2-2. That puts them 4th on goals scored (same goal difference).
If Mexico lose this its going to probably come down to the Mexico v Panama fixture. The winner of that will more than likely grab 4th spot.
After today's results I'm no longer buying into this. Lets face it, Mexico are having a meltdown.
Mexico name new coach - it's Vicelich - no, sorry Vucetich (a Mexicano of Croatian descent):
http://www.thenewstribune.com/2013/09/12/2781081/vucetich-will-coach-the-mexican.html
"Vucetich is one of the most successful coaches in the local league, where he´s known as "King Midas" after winning 14 of 15 the finals he has managed in his career."
"The 58-year-old, fired by Monterrey last month after winning three straight CONCACAF Champions League titles..."
He coached Monterrey at the last two FIFA Club World Cups (third last time).
"Our situation is like trying to get out of this stupid coat - not so difficult....er, pull harder....just a minute....almost there... we can do this....
won't be long...I'm King Midas ....everything I touch is successful...shit......it's not moving....we're stuck....this coat, it's the colour of a kiwifruit.....who sent this coat?...."Yellow Fever" from New Zealand?....You fool it's lined with superglue..."

Seems may be some broadcasts of the last two rounds of CONCACAF qualifying on Premier League Pass:
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/english-soccer/news/article.cfm?c_id=500842&objectid=11131172
"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."
________________________________________________________________________________________________________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.

honduras 0 v costa rica 0 half time.
If Honduras lose and Mexico thrash Panama, we could well end up playing Honduras.

Bugger 1-0 Mexico. I think Hernandez might have been offside for the final pass.
Penalty Mexico :( Shortly after Panama should have had a penalty for a similar incident.
This sort of thing shows how vastly inferior we are to Mexico. We don't have anyone who could come close, yet even back themselves, to score from a position like this.. I really really really hope we don't get them

I dunno about that dude. Siggy from RB, on an overlapping run, drifting in...can see it happening...
Hoping for a number of cards for Mexico today. Pretty sure the commentator last time said Chicharito is 1 yellow away from a ban.

The fact is that they would have dozens of players that are just as capable.
