The United States have inched closer to Qatar with tonight’s draw. And Canada’s hopes of locking down their World Cup appearance since 1986 were forestalled by a 1-0 loss to Costa Rica in San Jose. So where does that leave things?
From the American perspective it’s simple: the US can punch their World Cup ticket with 1) a win in Sunday’s home match against Panama and a Costa Rica draw or loss at El Salvador or 2) a draw against Panama and a Costa Rica loss.
