As I just said in another thread, the third place Hex finisher has gotten either 15 or 16 points in the past three cycles. That's totally doable, regardless of who coaches the USMNT. Only one match left where 0 points is a real possibility (@Azteca). So that leaves 16 points in 7 matches. Go 3-0-1 at home and 2-1-1 on the road. It won't be easy, and I'm not enthused about the situation, but it's not close to being over. It also means relying on Mexico and CR to run through the other Hex teams with ease, but as we saw from Mexico last night, those teams will have their missteps.
