World Cup Qualifying Gameday & More

OK, so you don’t care about the U.S. Men’s National Team game against Guatemala (live at 5 p.m. on ESPN Classic and Galavision from Colorado) because the Americans have already qualified for the final round of World Cup qualifying.

Still, there are five teams vying for three remaining places in CONCACAF’s hexagonal.

Guatemala must win and hope Cuba beats Trinidad & Tobago, which only needs a tie to qualify.

Mexico needs a draw against Honduras to qualify (live at 5 p.m. on Telemundo). Honduras needs to beat Mexico or tie and hope Jamaica beats Canada. Jamaica is still mathematically alive, but needs a big win over Canada.

The draw for the final round is Saturday.
