NOTE: The Dominica "home" game will have to be held in another country because of not having a field that meets competition Regulations standards.
It may be held in Mexico City's Azteca, and moved up to mid-week (although it would be a playing disadantage, the FA in Dominica could stand to make a tidy financial windfall in any deal with the Mexican Association).

NOTE: The Haiti "home" game against Jamaica will also likely be set for another country, likely the Orange Bowl in Miami, for security and financial reasons.

Sticky for future reference?

An interesting article, in the Spanish language, from a Mexican paper about the Dominica team and the expected double series at Azteca:


Excerpt (my translation):

"However, it doesn't scare to us to go to Mexico. In fact, we did it in Nassau, Bahamas, where we won two matches against the home team ", said, to the Chronicle via telephone, Don Leogal, Managaer of this Caribbean team.

That's the spirit!

"However, it doesn't scare to us to go to Mexico. In fact, we did it in Nassau, Bahamas, where we won two matches against the home team ", said, to the Chronicle via telephone, Don Leogal, Managaer of this Caribbean team.

That's the spirit!

Of course, Dominica only won one of those games. They drew the other.

[gettysburg32]

The first round is complete. The big boys come out in the second round and many of the matchups are quite interesting. (* means first leg)

Group A
*The United States / Grenada
*El Salvador / Bermuda
Haiti / *Jamaica
*Panama / St. Lucia

Group B
*Cuba / Costa Rica
*Suriname / Guatemala
*Netherlands Antilles / Honduras
*Canada / Belize (both legs in Canada)

Group C
*Mexico / Dominica
*Barbados / St. Kitts & Nevis
*Dominican Republic / Trinidad & Tobago
*Nicaragua / St. Vincent's & Grenadines

The following is all IMHO...and subject to many revisions over the next two and a half months.

Group A - The USA seems to be a lock vs. Grenada. However Grenada has a few quite high-level professionals and could make it much more competitive than one might think. The US plays at home first and therefore should open up a big lead and make the 2nd leg academic. I also think the US will increasingly find its form through a couple more friendlies and the MLS season. However, just imagine the levels of stress and panic (especially on these boards) during the week between legs should it remain close through the first leg (ie USA wins by just 1 or 2 goals). My guess, USA 5 Grenada 0, USA 4 Grenada 2.

El Salvador vs. Bermuda seems like an easy matchup for El Salvador. Bermuda will find playing in San Salvador just bit more challenging than waxing Montserrat 20-0. Bermuda has a new coach, and their federation seems to be gaining some momentum and hope for the future. If I had to pick one major, shocking upset, this would be it. In all likelihood, El Salvador at home in the first leg will be too much for Bermuda. But since my prediction really means nothing, my guess, El Sal 1 Bermuda 1, El Sal 1 Bermuda 2.

Haiti vs. Jamaica has been a popular "upset" choice for a lot of people. I think this is fully justified. Haiti (just ask a US fan) is playing very inspired, very surprising soccer. They are taking an "us against the world" attitude into their matches and this makes them very dangerous. Jamaica will have to play hard and well if they expect to advance past Haiti. The 2nd leg will probably be at the Orange Bowl in Miami, and if there's still everything to play for, the atmosphere there should be quite awesome. My guess, Jamaica 2 Haiti 1, Haiti 1 Jamaica 0. Haiti advances with the away goal.

Panama vs. St. Lucia, they are virtually tied in the world rankings, St. Lucia is #125 and Panama is #127, leading one to consider this a toss-up. In 2004, Panama is 0-1-2, drawing with El Salvador in January and playing two friendlies at Cuba, losing 3-0 and drawing 1-1. Since March 2003, St. Lucia has played only the Br. Virgin Islands and St. Vincent's, so Panama will seemingly be a step up in competition. My guess, Panama 2 St. Lucia 0, Panama 1 St. Lucia 1.

Group B

Cuba vs. Costa Rica, this was another popular "upset" pick amongst some when the original draw came out. However, unlike Haiti/Jamaica, this one would be a major upset. Unlike most pairings, the favorite does not have their home leg first, and this could be Cuba's one advantage. Playing in Havana first, Cuba must get a very good result (ie a win, and preferably by more than one goal). Playing in Saprissa is muy dificil for any CONCACAF team. Playing there in a "must win" situation is much worse, even for Mexico or the US, and Cuba would have even less of a chance. My guess, Cuba 1 Costa Rica 2, Cuba 1 Costa Rica 4.

Suriname vs. Guatemala, Suriname pummelled Aruba in their home leg of the first round, 8-1. Guatemala has had the well-known problems concerning if they'd even be allowed to play in WC qualifying. For Suriname 4 of their last 6 international matches have been against Aruba, dating back to late 2002. Suriname also played a grand total of 0 matches (at least according to fifa) in 2003. My guess, Suriname 0 Guatemala 6, Suriname 0 Guatemala 6.

Netherlands Antilles vs. Honduras, Honduras just barely missed qualifying for the 2002 WC finals. On the other hand, in their last 8 matches Honduras is winless (5 losses, 3 draws). Netherlands Antilles had to struggle and come back in the second leg to win their first round against Antigua & Barbuda 0-2, 3-0. On the other hand, in January, Neth. Antilles beat Aruba 6-1. Ok, I'm done making fun of Aruba. I've read in a couple places that the Netherlands Antilles might have some professionals from Holland be able to play for them. They better find some really good ones, lol. My guess, Netherlands Antilles 1 Honduras 3, Netherlands Antilles 0 Honduras 4.

Canada vs. Belize, Canada will have both matches in Kingston, Ontario. This means Canada goes from a very solid favorite to a 99.9% favorite. Canada has a new coach, and quite a measure of optimism. Hopefully for Canada, these two matches will become glorified practice sessions before a very difficult semifinal group. Belize has not played an international match since March 2002. Belize has not played a non-friendly since their exit from WC2002 qualifying in May 2000. My guess, Canada 6 Belize 1, Canada 4 Belize 0.

Group C

Mexico vs. Dominica, Mexico could pull 11 guys off the streets of Guadalajara and advance past Dominica. I'm just hoping that the 6/12 match in Mexico City will be televised on Univision/Galavision so that I can watch it just for shits and giggles. (and now probably both matches since they will both seemingly be in Mexico) Dominica, ranked #177, needed 2 goals in the last eight minutes of their second leg vs. Bahamas (#193) to move on. My guess, Mexico 10 Dominica 0, Mexico 7 Dominica 0.

Barbados vs. St. Kitts & Nevis, rankings-wise, another possibly close pairing. (Barbados #113, SKN #130) Barbados is 5-2 since Dec. 26th however this includes 2 wins vs. Bermuda, 2 wins vs. Grenada, 1 win vs. Dominica, and a loss vs. Guyana (And a loss to Canada, just to round it out). Not that beating the US Virgin Islands is an impressive accomplishment, but I'm going out on a limb and going with St. Kitts. My guess, Barbados 2 St. Kitts 1, Barbados 1 St. Kitts 3.

Dominican Republic vs. Trinidad & Tobago, DR had both of their first round matches vs. Anguilla at home. T&T has played, and I'm guessing is scheduled to play, a good number of friendlies leading up to qualifying. T&T is too experienced, too talented, and should be optimistic of their chances to reach the final hex given their presumed semifinal group. DR has the first match at home, and so might be able to keep it interesting, but I highly doubt even this. My guess, Dom. Rep. 1 T&T 3, Dom. Rep. 0 T&T 5.

Nicaragua vs. St. Vincent's & Grenadines, The foolishness of CONCACAF saw these two nations get byes into the second round. Only the extreme foolishness of CONCACAF could guarantee that one of these two nations will get into the semifinal round. Nicaragua is ranked #175, St. V's is #163. Since Feb. 2003, these two teams have combined to play 4 matches. I called a psychic and this is what I was told... My guess, Nicaragua 0 St. Vincent's 0, Nicaragua 0 St. Vincent's 2.

Sorry this is so long, I started having more fun with this than the NCAA tournament brackets. If you read all this, go get a beer, you deserve it.


I posted this originally in the 1st round thread. I cut and paste it here just because it seemed like the more appropriate place for it now. Also, I wanted to keep my predictions somewhere where I could go back and check to see how wrong I was, lol. I've made a couple changes due to more home games being known now.

The wrapup of the CONCACAF first round is now online at

http://www.planetworldcup.com/CUPS/2006/concacaf_wrapup01.html

Preview of the second round due about June 1.

[beachesl]

06/13/04 USA vs. Grenada, Crew Stadium; Columbus, Ohio 1 p.m. ET / ESPN2 & Telemundo
06/20/04 USA vs. Grenada, St. George's, Grenada 4 p.m. ET / ESPN2 & Telemundo

[gohb]

Surprise from Mexico: it looks as if they're going to play one of the legs of Mexico-Dominica in San Antonio, Texas. Here's the story (in Spanish):

http://www.milenio.com/deportes/nota.asp?id=34473

The story also says they haven't decided yet on the site in Mexico for the other leg.

[gohb]

The Orange Bowl in Miami has been confirmed as the site for Haiti's home game in the Jamaica-Haiti series:

http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/8417625.htm?1c

[beachesl]

Curiously, FIFA.com's schedule stiil leaves out two of the series (Honduras/NethAnts and Barbados/StKitts&Nevis, perhaps as they haven't even suggested dates yet).

concacaf.com has very little information about June's matches.

[gettysburg32]

19-Jun-2004 TEGUCIGALPA (Honduras) Honduras - Netherlands Antilles
12-Jun-2004 Netherlands Antilles - Honduras

19-Jun-2004 St. Kitts and Nevis - Barbados
12-Jun-2004 BRIDGETOWN (Barbados) Barbados - St. Kitts and Nevis

This is what fifa knows.

[gohb]

19-Jun-2004 TEGUCIGALPA (Honduras) Honduras - Netherlands Antilles
12-Jun-2004 Netherlands Antilles - Honduras

19-Jun-2004 St. Kitts and Nevis - Barbados
12-Jun-2004 BRIDGETOWN (Barbados) Barbados - St. Kitts and Nevis

This is what fifa knows.

Maybe the sites for the other legs haven't been officially announced yet, but unless something really bizarre happens, they have to be:

Ergilio Hato Stadium, Willemstad, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles
Warner Park, Basseterre, St. Kitts

[Ronaldinho11]

yea it would need something really bizarre for them not to be

[beachesl]

A poster in the Mexico section has said that it was announced on the radio in Mexico last night that the match against Dominica on the 12 of June will be in Aguascalientes, in the new (2003) Estadio Victoria 20,000 all-seater. It's about 600 km northwest of Mexico City in the mountains (it is a bit of a famous place to visit, it means Hotsprings in Spanish, it has a famous horseracing track that Americans used to visit a lot in the 1920's when horse-wagering and drinking were illegal in the US, sort of like Tijiuana, but probably more confidential). It is a lot closer to Guadalajara. It also has high elevation, a big advantage against the Dominica Islanders, along with the extra complications of travel (as if they should be worried). I expect that given the ease of the semi-final round that the matches against all except Trinidad will be held outside of Mexico City. Expect all the games in the Hex to be in Azteca though.

Probably a bargaining chip concession to have Mexico agree to San Antonio site proposal without going to FIFA Arbitration. You'd think Mexico wouldn't be worried.

I'm sure they're not. But when it comes to World Cup Qualifying, you take everything you can get, even if it means a slight change that turns your 99.98% chance of advancing to a 99.99% chance of advancing. I wish the US had the second leg at home, too.

Ok, so I have found dates for the Hex, but has CONCACAF released breakdown of the matches for it?

Trying to figure out when US v Mexico in Mexico City would be, if they both advance that far.

[ZeekLTK]

They just did the drawing for the SEMIfinals like a month ago. The FINALs aren't until 2005, most likely they won't deterime venues until at least the semifinal round has kicked off... or at the very least, the 2nd round is over.

Referees now listed for upcoming matches:

Second Round of CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying set for next month

5.5.04 - Twenty-four CONCACAF teams remain as FIFA World Cup Qualifying continues in June 2004 with Second Round home-and-away series.
After the two-game series, the twelve victorious teams from the second round will enter the semifinal round made up of three groups of four that will run from 18 August – 17 November 2004. The two nations topping each of the semifinal groups advance to a final round group of six teams.

This final group will play home-and-away fixtures from 9 February – 12 October 2005 at which point the top three will advance directly to the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.

The CONCACAF fourth-place finisher will compete in a home-and-away playoff against fifth-place finisher from the Asian Football Confederation, for one of the last berths into the event. These games will take place in November 2005.

Kevin Stott, in his 10th year as a FIFA referee, will lead a four-person U.S. crew during two matches. Coming off a year in which he worked the CONCACAF Gold Cup and the FIFA World Youth Championship in United Arab Emirates, the California native will lead the June 27 match between Mexico and Dominica in Aguascaliente, Mexico, at Estadio Victoria, and the Haiti-Jamaica match on June 12 at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Fla. Stott was involved in two earlier qualifying matches this February, handling the whistle in one match and serving as the fourth official in another.

Working alongside Stott in Mexico will be assistants Robert Fereday and George Vergara, and fourth official Ricardo Valenzuela. In Miami, Stott will have an entire new crew with assistants Chris Strickland and Craig Lowry, and fourth official Ali Saheli working with the man in the middle.
