While it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Mexico and Costa Rica qualified yet again for a U20 World Cup, what should be of some concern to CONCACAF is the ease with which they both have stomped all over everyone they’ve faced. In three games so far, Mexico has run up 11 goals in favor and 0 against. Costa Rica’s goal differential stands at 12-1 (despite wasting 2 penalties along the way). I watched both of their games against Canada and despite bringing back players from Europe and South America, the poor Canadians were totally outclassed from beginning to end. It wasn’t even close. The US has been just as dominant and though they face a slightly tougher game tonight against the home team, they should also go through. The key question is whether the US, Mexico and Costa Rica are really that good or is it that the rest of CONCACAF is that bad. Costa Rica did make the semis at the last U20 World Cup and if one of these three can repeat that type of performance, then perhaps things aren't quite so bad in our confederation as they look right now.
