    Poor field conditions and low attendance. Good idea.

    I was hoping for Fort Lauderdale. Charleston was great last time but I guess January wouldn't work there.

    Hypothetically, we should see these final groups.

    U-20 Group A:
    USA-host
    UNCAF1=Costa Rica
    UNCAF2=Guatemala (or El Salvador)
    CFU1= Jamiaca (or Haiti)

    U-20 Group Group B:
    Hoduras- host
    Mexico
    Canada
    CFU2= T&T

    Concacaf gets 4 berths to the U-20 World Cup. I don't think we'll have any trouble finishing first or second at home.

    U-17 Group A:
    Costa Rica-host
    USA
    UNCAF1= Guatemala (or El Salvador)
    CFU1=T&T

    U-17 Group B:
    Canada
    Mexico
    UNCAF2= Honduras
    CFU2= Jamaica (or Haiti)

    This will be much trickier. The top teams from each group advance to the World Cup, while the second place teams face off in a playoff. Certainly a USA-Mexico playoff is a strong possibility.

    Here's where you get the international "wanker" sign. HDC won't get crowds any smaller than Charleston did last cycle. In fact, if the Sallies qualify, it might do much better.

    Not to mention that it's the home of US Soccer's training center. It'll be fine.
