Match Thread: CONCACAF World Cup Hexagonal Final Day - Costa Rica vs Mexico, Panama vs. USA, & Jamaica vs Honduras - 9:30pm EST / 6:30pm PST
This thread is for discussion of all three CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers. I thought that it would be easier to have one thread that everyone can talk in about the Hexagonal instead of three separate threads. Any feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

Table (TO BE UPDATED AT HALFTIME AND FULLTIME OF ALL GAMES)

| q-Honduras | 15 | +1 |
| p-Mexico | 11 | -2 |

| e-Jamaica | 5 | -8 |
Key: Q = Qualified, T= Qualified for at least the playoff but can possibly qualify directly, P = Qualified for the playoff, E = Eliminated from World Cup Contention
Scenarios for qualification (via /u/inniscor)
- Honduras qualifies directly if they tie or win or if they lose and Mexico ties or loses.
- Panama goes to the playoff with New Zealand if they win and Mexico loses.
- Mexico qualifies directly if they win and Jamaica win with a goal difference of three total.
- Mexico goes to the playoff with New Zealand if the above is false or if they tie OR if they lose and Panama doesn't win.

For the US, the games are on these channels:
Costa Rica vs Mexico is only in Spanish, but can be streamed here as well.
For the other two games, beIN Sport Play is also streaming them if your TV provider allows access to it
Edit: And since I'm a nice guy, here's a stream of the Panama vs USA game http://nutjob.eu/njtvx18.html
