Mexico is only up 1-0. Hernandez just missed a PK, that would of put them up 2-0.

Mexico won 2-1 unfortunately, so they are in a spot where they'd play New Zealand for the play-in, and are 3 points out of the Top 3 and 3 points ahead of Panama for that play-in spot.

3.Honduras 14 pts +1
4.Mexico 11 pts -1

Mexico needs to win and make up the goal difference, oh and Honduras has to lose (example MEX 2-0 +1 and HON 0-1 E)

Mexico @ Costa Rica
Honduras @ Jamaica

Looks like they are going to have to win the playoff home-and-home against New Zealand

Tie Breakers
a) Greatest number of points obtained in all group matches
b) Goal difference in all group matches
c) Greatest number of goals scored in all group matches

USA saves Mexico from missing World Cup!@! That was unbelievable with 2 goals by USA in stoppage time to come back and win 3-2 against Panama.

Poor Panama

I was hopping the US would just play out the last 2 minutes and not score (1-2 Panama) and have Mexico eliminated. Let's hope that New Zealand beats them in the playoff.

GO New Zealand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, me too, so it was a nice comeback, but was pretty disappointed to be honest. Doubt NZ beats Mexico though, product of a weak OFC without Australia.

I had the strangest mix of emotions watching the last minutes of the games. Happy that US won, even if it was meaningless (although not meaningless for the fringe players on the squad), but disappointed that Panama was so heart broken and that Mexico was saved. It would have been funny seeing Mexico not make the World Cup, but then again they know that they only made it because the US helped them, so maybe that's good enough. Their media's tearing them a new one though.

Their announcer was screaming "We love you!" "God Bless America!" on their split-screen broadcast of the two games.

USA 13th in FIFA Rankings. Jumped by England, Chili and Switzerland. So they won't be a top seed anyway... Bad news for USA is they could get into a 'group of death', playing a top seed, UEFA team and a team from South America or Africa.

I really hope we don't get stuck with a top seed + Netherlands & Chile.

You spelled it right later in the post, but I don't know how we got passed by some spicy food.

Found this one a different forum. You can check out all the different group stage possibilities.

I want Mexico to do well and advance so we can beat them in the knockout round like 2002. That would be the best.
