Tiebreakers:
1. goal difference in all group matches
2. greater number of goals scored in all group matches
3. greater number of points obtained in matches between the tied teams
4. goal difference in matches between the tied teams
5. greater number of goals scored in matches between the tied teams
6. greater number of away goals scored in matches between the tied teams if only two teams are tied

Jimenez IS that perfect partner for Oribe and Chicharo HAS to go to the bench. This goal that Jimenez made is enough for them ot build a ****ing statue for him. he is a legend no matter how his career ends up.

That was a sick goal. Right on time

Tuesday: (9:30pm ET)

Costa Rica v Mexico
Jamaica v Honduras
Panama v USA

As much as I hate it, there is probably a ~5% chance that Mexico jumps into that third spot.

On the bright side, there's probably about a greater chance that they drop to fifth.

Anyway, congrats to Mexico. I guess they showed us who the 4th best team in CONCACAF is.

Thanks. Then the person writing the rule needs to brush up on English. I figured it was like the NFL where they specify different (but similar) procedures for n=2 and n>2.

lol at getting clowned by someone from New Orleans, dude, your city is gross, its only relevancy to the US is Katrina and the destination for 30yr+ people to go piss and puke all over your cockroach infested dump.
No one in the US actually cares about that grotesque wasteland, we just feel bad because of some rain. Put Bourbon St. in Somalia and you pretty much have New Orleans, get over yourself.

I still am quite interested in our game on Tues. I know it doesn't matter - we won the group anyway! - but wins always feel better than non-wins...
