i doubt this happens....even with a loss on tuesday, we still have a chance to automatically qualify in 3rd. honduras still has costa rica and mexico, we have t&t and panama...just have to win 1 of those and maybe a tie will do it. honduras isn't winning both their games or even tying both games...might get a point out of one of them. yes, t&t is a tough game on the road, result there is not a given, but i believe the team will be just fine on their run home.

All of the "our chances are in serious jeopardy" lines are an obvious narrative to make Arena look good when they do make it. If they win against Honduras they'd have to catastrophically collapse in the last two games to lose out on the WC.
