The United States sits tied on top of the extremely tight Hex, level with Mexico on goal differential and behind Costa Rica by one goal. They can open up a bit of a gap between themselves and one of their big rivals for a qualifying spot on Tuesday night, when they take on Panama. The Panamanians are having a better campaign than expected thus far, though they need to start picking up some road results after drawing both Costa Rica and Mexico in Panama City.
