Fulltime! Guyana 2-1 Trinidad & Tobago Soca Warriors are eliminated. Gols from Ricky Shakes and Leon Cort for di Golden Jaguars. wow.
Just looking at the next round groups, this group C looks very interesting And St Kitts and Nevis are still undefeated, but 4 draws, especialy that one at home vs St. Lucia, killed their chances of qualifying.
Even if you change one of St. Kitts and Nevis's draws to a win (other than today's draw) they would still have needed a win at Canada on the last matchday to advance. It's possible to play two draws in a two leg series and be eliminated on away goals. I think being eliminated before losing in a group stage would be rare. In qualifying for World Cup 2006, Israel finished with 4 wins, 6 draws, and 0 losses and was eliminated as they finished third in their group.
Man, I'm not sad, but seriously angry. I'm far angrier than I thought I would be. Couldn't even take it back to PAP with a draw.
Can somone post all final scores from yesterday's actions? Maybe even with the goalscorers? Thanks in advance.

I predict everything to be pretty straightforward tbh in regards to Caribbean teams this cycle.. Antigua probably dead last in its group, Guyana, dead last in its group... I'd love for them to prove me wrong though, but they are both in a hard group, while Jamaica has the best opportunity to make it to the Hex.
same way I feel....but i feel antigua fairs a good chance against jamaica and guatemala at least at home.....guyana may do alright against el salvador....cuba has been very quiet...they are gone....jamaica should advance from its group....lol atleast i can see usa vs antigua and usa vs jamaica on espn
United States Jamaica Mexico Costa Rica Honduras Panama Hopefully I'm wrong and Guatemala finishes ahead of Jamaica.
this exposure will probably give Antiguans that play in Europe/England a reason to represent their country.
Yeah I heard if antigua made this round the guys that play in the epl would join the squad to strengthen the team
I also think Jamaica is favorite to make it pass Guatemala but WCQ is a different game and anything can happen. As long as we don't draw at home vs. Jamaica it's a must win (I don't think a Caribbean team has ever won a WCQ match in Guatemala).
Different than what? I know Guatemala has never faced the Boyz in WCQ but we're still 0-1-4 against them in competitive matches and have only gotten 3 out of 36 points against them overall. Jamaica has also won the last 5 meetings, beginning in 2005. Not very promising for Guate, is it. Hopefully you're right and home field advantage turns out to be big against them.
The preliminary draw procedures state "foreseen to be played from 8 June to 16 october 2012" but I can't find details on that yet.
Damn T&T has fallen far, I remember them making a lot of noise at the 2006 World Cup now they can't even get past the 2nd round of qualifying. They have talent, don't know what happened with them.
