One very clear advantage in a draw is getting your last-round game against a team that will probably already have qualified. (I'd argue that it's the biggest single advantage you can get in a draw.) Panama and T&T got the major advantage this time. T&T's advantage is slightly greater than Panama's, since Mexico will have played one more home game than the USA, and will thus have a slightly better chance of having qualified. T&T got a similar advantage in the previous Hexagonal draw.

There are lots of people who believe that T&T gets the advantage in the CONCACAF draws. Those people are "conspiracy theorists," as I said, and the coincidence that T&T got the major last-round advantage in two straight draws will give them ammunition. The fact that the draw was deliberately conducted behind closed doors will give them more ammunition.

How the draw was conducted, I don't know. This discussion has been had before: some people think Jack Warner influences things, some people don't. Personally, I'm undecided (and by the way, I did NOT think the semifinal round draw was deliberately arranged, as many thought). Admittedly, it's all speculation, and maybe I shouldn't have brought it up, since the discussion can't really lead anywhere. But I'm a statistics freak, and I notice those kinds of things.

None of this has anything to do with bias against T&T. I've always liked T&T, and I support them as I support all CONCACAF teams. I hope they do well in the Hexagonal. It will be a great story if they qualify.

Just for the record.....

If it was a conspiracy then its not in our favor....

Because in the last hex (2002) we played Jamaica "away" first and then our next game was "away" to Costa Rica,,,,,,,,, now we play USA at home "first" and "away" to Guatemala.......if it was a conspiracy here then we might have had to play "Panama" instead of USA "first".

So check yourself, before yuh reck yourself.

The last 3 games in this Hex we will see the so-called 3 weaker teams coming up against the 3 so-called stronger teams...

Que tengas algo de confianza, Guategol...Creo yo que Pescadito sera un heroe en el hex y que Guatemla se va para Alemania.

The game against the USA is going to be nothing like the game against Guatemala, St. Kitts, St Vincent or any of the othe opponents they've played lately . If Mexico plays the way they did in some of those game (like the second St Vincent game) then the US will win 4-0.
