Would love to see it. Arena stated emphatically that WCQ and winning the Gold Cup are the 2 main objectives for '17. Now, has a more comfortable - though, not guaranteed - scenario in WCQ changed that view of the GC? We'll see. I doubt it. Plus, if CJ belongs, he'll earn it.

Big match tonight between Panama and Honduras. The table suggests we American fans should be rooting for Honduras. However, a closer look at the remaining schedule might change that view a little.

Panama still has to travel to Mexico (next leg) and the U.S. 2 probably losses. Honduras has by far the more favorable schedule. In the 7th/8th legs they have 2 winnable matches - at T&T and hosting USA. In the final 2 legs they (Honduras) do have to travel to CR and host Mexico, but both CR and Mex might already have wrapped up their ticket to Russia by those 2 last legs and may play youngsters. We'll see...
