My team, Honduras was unable to beat Costa Rica at home, actually this draw is like a loss for both teams as it just puts both of them farther away from qualification. The only good thing about today was the Panama loss against El Salvador, but I was really hoping for a Mexican win against Canada, that draw gives Canada, one of the major challengers for a spot, a better position.
Of course nothing is said and done yet, but we can see the two favorites in first and second place, all the others will really fight for that third place, the fourth place just guarantees another qualifier with a team from another conference. Honduras is actually not one of the favorites for either of these two spots, at least in my opinion. But things can change, football depends a lot on luck, Jamaica has played good football in its four games and only has one point so we have three points and have been playing really bad maybe luck will be with us in the future.
Not in the next game though, we play Mexico in Mexico, that is about a 95% certainty of a loss.
