Grenada (172) vs. Haiti (92)

CONCACAF Semifinal Round
Group A
Mexico (14)
Honduras (84)
Curaçao / El Salvador
Canada / Belize
Group B
Costa Rica (23)
Panama (45)
Grenada / Haiti
Jamaica / Nicaragua
Group C
USA (17)
Trinidad & Tobago (63)
SVG / Aruba
A&B / Guatemala
Group B is the toughest from top to bottom. I think CR, Panama, and Jamaica are all Hex-worthy and at least one won't make it. Very tough draw for Haiti, who I thought would have been a darkhorse to make the Hex had they been in one of the other groups. Cakewalk for the US. Pretty easy for Mexico, too, and given the weaknesses of Honduras and El Salvador, even Canada has a chance.
