Out D*mn Half-Spot!

So if the Brazil U-23 Olympic team wins the "Gold Cup" (how about "Tin Cup", or "Warner Bowl") tomorrow, does that mean Blatter will take our 1/2 Concanaf spot and give it to South America? :)

How about this (this IS true, I'm not making it up!):
CONCANAF regulations say that if the USA beats Costa Rica today (but not vice-versa!) and
the Brazil Mini-me's beat Mexico, the US and Mexico will meet in a home-and-away extra series to determine the REAL Concanaf champions (and thus the representatives at the "Blatter Bowl", aka Confederations Cup in 2005). This is true, I swear on my Grandmother's grave!

Costa Rica lost to Mexico in that bracket, so that's why it doesn't matter if CR wins.

Cool, a Lady McBeth quote.

In an ideal world, where the president of Fifa was not a crook, that would be the the right thing to do. Along with the other spot bought by Japan and Korea.

Wouldn't the Half-spot become a Quarter-Spot?
