Mexico and the US became the 18th and 19th teams to qualify for next year's World Cup in South Africa. Mexico did it in style with a 4-1 barrage over El Salvador at home. The United States fell behind, then escaped a late penalty miss, to gut out a 3-2 win in Honduras.
Costa Rica got a much needed 4-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago to jump over Honduras for the third spot with one game remaining. Honduras clinched at worst a 4th place, and playoff spot versus South America's 5th place team, with El Salvador's loss.
