Quick thoughts on Semifinal Round Day One

It's late, but I really want to put down my unordered thoughts on last week's qualifiers:

• The USA is getting better at obtaining wins in Central America (outside of Costa Rica).  But they don't look good doing it.  This team has a lot of work to do.
• Guatemala had it all - a man advantage, a home crowd, and an opponent on their heels.  And they press the self-destruct button.
• Maybe Suriname won't be everyone's doormat in Group C.
• Haiti's nerves are going to get the best of them in this round.  There went their best chance for a home win.
• That T&T-Guatemala match gives the Soca Warriors a chance to take control of their destiny in the group and prolong CONCACAF's longest-running soap opera.
• How fitting that Costa Rica would score its lone goal from the penalty spot.
• Right after saying that Canada had a solid goalkeeping corps, their first-choice keeper hands the game to Jamaica.  Sorry.
• A true home qualifier for Canada in Toronto!  Shame about the turf though.
• Mexico-Honduras.  Match.  Of.  The.  Round.  Three points from the toughest home match is an accomplishment and a relief.
• Is Honduras capable of playing like this at home?
