    I *think* I'm correct that an El Salvador win, draw, loss by 1, or loss 4-2 or greater scoreline with a 2 GD all make them our next opponent and mean Martinique is out and the winner of Group C would get Honduras.
    A 3-1 loss by El Salvador to Jamaica would mean drawing of lots to see if El Salvador or Martinique makes the next round. An El Salvador loss by more than 2 would put them out as would a 2-0 loss.
    Personally, I'd rather play El Salvador than Honduras even though Honduras has looked pretty poor and didn't bring their full team clearly. Both should be teams that we are quite favored against at home even though we're missing many of our top players and not playing particularly well.

    Wouldn't we play Jamaica if El Salvador beat them?

    Yes, although if Curacao also were to win I think there are scenarios where we get Mexico.

    It would be so funny if Mexico lost to them that I would take that scenario.
     
    Heist repped this.

    Just the reactions of the stadium operators in Glendale and Pasadena would be worth it.

    El Salvador it will apparently be. They have been kicking the ball backward and sideways for 10 minutes now content to draw.

    Yes, you were correct. But now unless Mexico gets routed by Curacao we play El Salvador.
