This is how I see the 3rd Round groups

Third Round
Group A:
United States
Jamaica
Group E winner (Guatemala)
Group F winner (Haiti)

Group B:
Mexico
Costa Rica
Group A winner (El Salvador)
Group B winner (Trinidad and Tobago)

Group C:
Honduras
Cuba
Group C winner (Panama)
Group D winner (Canada)

I think T&T is going to find it hard coming out of their group. Group C is going to be hard to call.

[Farmah]

Yes Tilla! I agree with your deduction of which teams will end up in each group.

My further take:
* Jamaica might find an easy route to the HEX.
* Groups B and C are tough.
* Group C semms a bit tougher than B, and could be considered the group of death.

[Karl]

Well at sometime we must step up and whap them!

[Rockman]

Yep!

[Hortical]

Boss mi wouldn't exactly say "easy", and when Jamaica played Haiti at the Orange Bowl in a WC qualifier, the team looked nervous and struggled in a 1-1 tie. Btw, Jamaica crushed Haiti at home in the return leg, and it is likely Haiti will host their WC matches.

[Muadib]

What would be an easier group ?

if wi cyaan get pass Haiti and Grenada den wheh wi a play football fah.. ?

lol !

[Rudi]

Agreed

[Farmah]

Well , let's rephrase it: I expect Jamaica to qualify from this group!

And as Ben pointed out, we must can beat Haiti and Grenada....

The team compared to that of 2004 (with Claude, Micah, Cafu, Damani, Davis et al), is now much better all-around - and better coached i might add. The Boyz should be able to get by both Haiti and the other team. And a draw against is a high possibility!

[Assasin]

Jamaica have to start 4-4-2 against the US on the road and on big field. We can't win if we surrender all that space on the wing.

[Rudi]

They just have to cover better. Other teams have outclassed the USA without playing 4-4-2. Possession always gives the US problems.

[Assasin]

might be true but we haven't. The minute we go with three defender they send two wingers wide and spread out the field, and they have acres down the wing.

Hortical! I have to agree with Famah. With the team selection headache that Tappa and the Gammas will have picking a Reggae Boyz squad now. I don't think Haiti could hold us to a draw.
