Sad week , Honduras, Mexico , USA all out . All teams have a solid foundation with players that can be used for the next WC , I think CONCACAF will just get better .
absolutely agree mexico's ceiling with their young players is looking higher and higher everytime i see el chicharito he leaves me amazed how he came out of nowhere and how now he is a true gem, amazing player, and good goal scorer
Agreed, expecting good results for 2014. Mexico has always performed well in South America and the US performes well anywhere outside of Europe.
I hope CONCACAF is getting better because I wonder if the lack of quality opponents is holding the US and Mexico back.
Well people..... what can u expect when you have easy world cup qualifiers? come on, do you seriously think that Mexico or Honduras would make it in south Americans qualifiers ?
Mexico has always fared well in the Copa America and once Honduras was invited and finished 3rd place beating Brazil on their way.

Costa Rica has gotten out of the first round in the Copa America, both Honduras and the USA have reached the semifinals, and Mexico has reached the finals twice. This considering our teams haven´t competed there for very long, and Mexico are now forced to handicap themselves with an under-23 squad (I wonder why.) Brazil on the other hand lost both times it entered the Gold Cup, both to Mexico and the USA.
