Is Herrera really leaving all the European leagues players out?

Yup, he going to try to win the game with chemistry by using a majority of his clubs players. The team did beat Finland 4-2 a few nights ago, but it still wasn't impressive.

After 80 minutes, Uruguay is annihilating Jordania with 4:0. Believe it or not, Suarez and Cavani actually combine for 0 goals. But I guess they don't mind too much... 8-)

New Zealand looks winded. First time all year that Azteca has actually had home field advantage.

Are you talking about Mexico? It's crazy that Concacaf has an option for a 4th team seeing as how historically bad that federation has been

yea, at least match them against conmebol if you're going to give them a 4th spot, what a sham.

Yeah I think it is unfaIr for teams like Jordania and New Zealand to go against Uruguay and Mexico. Those 2 teams should have faced each other and Uruguay should have played Mexico. Makes it more fair IMO

Why did they change it up? COMNEBOL played CONCACAF in the last world cup qualifiers.

All I gotta say is I'm stoked about it. Mexico is well on there way to a ticket to Brazil. Limping, but theyre so close.
