This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

FINAL STANDINGS AFTER MEXICO/PANAMA by irishlaw2010
Mexico 17 pts (+8) - 3.5 games left (playing now)
Costa Rica 14 pts (+7) - 3 games
USA 8 pts (+1) - 3 games
Honduras 8 pts (-7) - 3 games
Panama 7 pts (-1) - 3.5 games left
Trinidad 3 pts (-8) - 3 games left
Barring a crazy goal differential swing and dropping every remaining point, Mexico is in. Trinidad is effectively done although I think they may mathematically be alive for 3rd or 4th.
The best that can be said after tonight is that we control our own destiny still.
If we continue to play like that, it's hard to see us finishing higher than 4th. Better figure things out quickly before Tuesday afternoon.
