One of those weird things where you wakeup in the middle of the night remember you forgot to turn off the computer, and when going to turn it off you remember that the draw for the hex had taken place. The life of a soccer geek I guess Well here is the schedule Home team listed first: Wednesday 11 February Costa Rica-Honduras El Salvador-Trinidad and Tobago USA-Mexico Saturday 28 March Mexico-Costa Rica Trinidad and Tobago-Honduras El Salvador-USA Wednesday 1 April Costa Rica-El Salvador USA-Trinidad and Tobago Honduras-Mexico Wednesday 3 June Costa Rica vs. USA Saturday 6 June Trinidad and Tobago-Costa Rica El Salvador-Mexico USA-Honduras Wednesday 10 June Mexico-Trinidad and Tobago Honduras-El Salvador Wednesday 12 August Honduras-Costa Rica Trinidad and Tobago-El Salvador Mexico-USA Saturday 5 September Costa Rica-Mexico Honduras-Trinidad and Tobago USA-El Salvador Wednesday 9 September El Salvador-Costa Rica Trinidad and Tobago-USA Mexico-Honduras Saturday 10 October (*) Costa Rica-Trinidad and Tobago Mexico-El Salvador Honduras-USA Wednesday 14 October (*) USA-Costa Rica Trinidad and Tobago-Mexico El Salvador-Honduras (Looks like they gave us the three tough ones first. Bring it I say) (*) simultaneous kick-off
I think it is beneficial for Mexico to get the toughest schedule throughout the 1st leg of the hex. Mexico will host Costa Rica and Trinidad and Tobago, but will travel to the US, Honduras, and El Salvador for the 1st leg of the Hex. The game against the Spazzos is in February. They will most likely be using their euro based players and it that is so, they will have less time to prepare for it since the euro clubs do not have to release them until they are force to. If they use an MLS based squad, they will most likely be out of rhythm since their league is not active. I think its games like Interliga that actually can serve some purpose and start getting players into form by the time the season rolls around.

Interesting. I like how everyone is down on us right now after the loss in Honduras, maybe the players will play as if they have something to prove now. I know they'll be motivated to go down to Honduras, for sure.
You are correct, sir. Too many newbies in all the US-related forums simply do not understand that: 1. it's a man's game, bitch! 2. this game was business as usual, Sven is a Business man, he is cold as ice. What do you want? It's Honduras, not an actual WC game. All MEX needed was not to lose 3-0 in the end. And they did just that. Only a rookie would not understand when you are in a position to win by losing, you do your best to achieve that, while not cow-towing to the simpletons who cannot see a win when it stares them in the face. Why go all out for nothing!? Who would that be for!? MEX qualified!! What the hell else do you want? Especially with that field in San Pedro Sula that looked like it was flown in from the days of Hurricane Katrina. 3. Honduras has a new saint: Santo Osorio! 4. Oh. yeah, Honduras...your welcome! No sean desagradecidos catrachitos, van a sufrir en el hex...which rhymes with MEX.
And mexico and US play in February... AGAIN i remember reading that The US and Mex will face every february..
No he won't, Magallon is expect to return in mid-late January. I don't think he'll be fit for this game. I'd rather see Leobardo Lopez, Maza, Rafa, and Moreno. Watched Maza score a great goal today with PSV. Salcido was getting pwnt left and right. Leandro will be back and Gio will proably take over for Arce.
