Cheeta Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Cuba-Costa Rica..... IF the Cubans can get a result at home, preferably an unlikely win, watch for the panic on the return leg in CR. (I'm still carrying a Gold Cup scar. Would love a chance for revenge against Cuba during the BIG show!) Think Jamaica will be safe. Who knows what the Hell El Salvador can do on any given day? Good Lord. We're like 5-6 weeks until the running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 quote:Good Lord. We're like 5-6 weeks until the running! Make that less than three weeks until our MNT gets together to start serious preparation for WCQ. Spending about three weeks together has to be good for the guys. Man, I've just been counting the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
