CAN 2-0 USA (Probably not only seals qualification, but wins the group -- eight points for the Canadians out of a possible twelve over the USA and Mexico.)

PAN 3-2 JAM (Did what they had to do and probably eliminated the Reggae Boyz as well)

MEX 0-0 CRC (OUCH. That's an opportunity lost for Mexico, even with Costa Rica getting a much-needed road point.)

HON 0-2 SLV

So four rounds left to play. Here's the table.

CAN 22 points +12 GD

(Clinches minimum of interconfed playoff with a magic number of three points and 12 goal differential with Costa Rica)

USA 18 points +6 GD
MEX 18 points +5 GD

(Why am I thinking that match in Mexico in the next set is going to have a few extra fireworks?)

PAN 17 points +2 GD

(USA and MEX falling short in R10 brings Panama within a point of the direct spots, and USA and MEX within a point of the interconfed playoff spot!)

CRC 13 points 0 GD

(Very important point on the scoreless draw today.)

SLV 9 points -5 GD
JAM 7 points -6 GD
HON ELIMINATED
