The next FIFA Date will be decisive.
The key matches will define who will advance directly and who will go to the playoffs.
For example, matches such as Jamaica vs Curacao or Costa Rica vs Honduras will have direct consequences on the final rankings.
In addition, traditional teams such as Costa Rica could be left out if they lose points.
In contrast, Suriname and Honduras continue to surprise with their consistency, while Panama and Guatemala struggle not to be left behind.
For the U.S. Hispanic fan, this means following games in different time zones and token support for CONCACAF teams.
