Ok, this is starting to get real - so it needs a thread.

And two winners of the playoff between two losers tonight and Costa Rica and Trinidad & Tobago

Tonight's matches are:

Canada-Jamaica BMO Field in Toronto 6:30 - Weather forecast low 40s and wet. It's going to be gross. Canada leads 2-1

Mexico-Honduras Estadio Azteca in Mexico City 8:30 - Upper 50s and clear. Honduras leads 2-0.

 

One key update for the Mexico game - Ochoa is likely out. The injuries he has usually have 2 months recovery time.

Unless we play them in Park City, Vail, Aspen, Lake Tahoe, or Mammoth Lakes, Bolivia is the only CONMEBOL team that we don’t have to worry about.

With B.J. Callaghan managing (and no G3 oversight), Argentina, Uruguay, and possibly Brazil would be the only teams that we would have to worry about.

Well, just like John Fogerty said back in the day, we ain't no fortunate son...when it comes to not having fucking Gergg involved.

So if we had not out scored T&T and Mexico cant overcome the 2-0 hole, we could've had Mexico and the US playing for a spot in the Copa and one completely missing out.   That would've been WILD.

I can't find anything that talks about how the teams are matched up in the Copa playoffs. Looking at Wikipedia, I see that T&T and Costa Rica aren't matched up, so do we know the matchups?

REGULATION: Stoppage time after 45 minutes of the 2nd half of the game with Mexico trailing?

9 minutes that morphed into 11 minutes.

OVERTIME: Stoppage time after 15 minutes of the 2nd half of the overtime with the match tied?

ZERO minutes of stoppage time.
