Overall goal difference first, then head to head second, then number of goals scored. then drawing of lots.

We are in a deficit any way you look at it. What has to happen on Nov. 19 is for us to beat Canada and for Mexico to beat Honduras.

Check it: http://concacaf.com/viewCompetition.aspx?id=233

We would basically have to beat Canada by 7 clear goals if Honduras and Mexico draw. If Honduras wins, then it would depend on the number of goals scored in that match and by which team, but most likely we would still have to beat Canada by at least 6 clear goals.

Goal difference right now -

Mexico +4
Honduras +3
Jamaica -3

Head to head clash - we lost bigger to those team than we won, so that won't help us either.

No matter what though, we must beat Canada!

So basically we need to score 7 goals and not conceed against Canada !!

Here are the bare facts:

Group 2
Team Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts
Mexico 5 3 1 1 9 5 +4 10
Honduras 5 3 0 2 8 5 +3 9
Jamaica 5 2 1 2 3 6 −3 7
Canada 5 0 2 3 6 10 −4 2

Canada – 1 – 2 1 – 1 2 – 2
Honduras 3 – 1 – 2 – 0 Nov 19
Jamaica Nov 19 1 – 0 – 1 – 0
Mexico 2 – 1 2 – 1 3 – 0 –

On the next matchday (November 19)

Mexico will qualify for the Fourth Round if:
they do not lose to Honduras, OR
Jamaica do not defeat Canada, OR
the combined winning margins of Jamaica and Honduras are fewer than 7 goals (or equals 7 goals and Mexico finish with more goals scored than Jamaica)

Honduras will qualify for the Fourth Round if:
they defeat Mexico, OR
Jamaica do not defeat Canada, OR
they draw with Mexico AND Jamaica defeat Canada does not win by 6 or more goals (or Jamaica win by 6 goals and finish with fewer goals scored than Honduras)

There is no point worrying about goal difference,we will beat Canada but not by 6 clear goals,i'm convinced Mexico will put out a strong team against Honduras and win the game simply because Erickson is still trying to get the Mexican people on his side.
