Dominica and Grenada will get crushed, I'm pretty worried about Jamaica vs Haiti though. Haiti drew 1-1 with the USA couple months ago.

I'm planning on going to the Canada-Belize game @ Kingston, Ontario (less than 2 hours from me)

I'm hoping we can score a few goals and start the qualifying right, Canada has the best squad we've had in years and with a good coach this time

Just as long as Jamaica gets at least a draw in Haiti they'll be fine...Jamaica is one of the toughest teams to beat at home.

Aye, the match will be played at the Orange Bowl in Miami. Miami is Jamaica's second capital, so we have a large fan base there as well.

 

[Rochester Rhino]

Mexico, USA and Costa Rica will get the WC spots

 

[Bobby]

We get 3.5 now, right?

I think 4th plays off with an asian team.

I think we could have 4 teams in the WC, let's just hope the playoff is against Saudi Arabia

 

[manutd4eva]

Jamaica for the playoffs!

 

[Fogs]

I wouldn't mind seeing Canada qualify as a 4th team after US, Mexico, and Costa Rica if we really do fight it out with Asia.

 

[modena_10]

Marquez cant play in the Olympics, the other can, but we need the Defender
