One more date of the hexagonal one of the Concacaf left Costa Rica in the top of the classification and an iron dispute for the last direct quota between Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico separated only by three points.
Costa Rica and the United States have the almost insured ticket to South Africa, while Trinidad practically has no option to the repechaje.
Honduras conquered 1-0 to El Salvador in San Pedro Sula and recovered the pigeonhole that had transferred last weekend after his defeat 2-1 in the United States, while Mexico sweated more of the account to conquer Trinidad and Tobago in the Mexican capital for 2 to 1, what allowed him to amount to the fourth position and to recover the defeat before the cuscatlecos in San Salvador.
With regard to the shock between ‘Blue” and the catrachos, recognized Carlos de los Cobos the superiority of Honduras. “They had one in an oversight of ours”, the Mexican declared.
“ In the first time Honduras, in general it overcame us, but the second half belonged to us... we were more than Honduras; we worry very much and we could have tied, but it was lacking to put it”, pointed Of the Cobos.
For his part, the trainer of Honduras, Reinaldo Rueda, said to be in accordance with the result.
“ We were compromised by the love to gain. There was still many pressure, between us, and we liberate this pressure because we win”, he said, praising also the cuscatlecos. “They have a superselection, with a lot of work, applied and disciplined”.
The forward Carlos Pavón, author of the only goal of the party, supported that “the important thing there are three points that we obtained in this date independently that we did a good party or the bad one... and that makes us calmer and satisfied, and we continue in the struggle”.
Wheel warned that “the meetings that are missing will be much disputed, but we have the feet on the ground”. In the next date August 12, Mexico receives the United States, a team that has never won in the Aztec, Honduras receives to the leader Costa Rica and El Salvador visits Trinidad and Tobago.

The Nationals of Washington chose the pitcher Stephen Strasburg in the first selection of the draft, of the Big Leagues.
Considered one of the most talented brochures in 45 years of history of this event, Strasburg finished the period with sheet of 13-1 and 1.32 of average of clean careers admitted with San Diego State, leading the Aztecs to his first ticket to postemporada from 1991.
With a rapid ball that has been timed in 164 kilometers for hour (102 miles per hour), Strasburg headed to the pitchers of the Division I with 195 punches in 109 innings. The only player was an amateur in the American Olympian selection of baseball that a bronze medal gained in the games of Beijing.
“ We are pleased for having chosen someone with the special talents that Stephen possesses”, said Mike Rizzo, temporary general manager of the Nationals. “For time we have had these talents in our radar, and the domineering role of Stephen in San Diego State and the wide experience that it obtained in the American selection last summer (in Beijing) they have kept intact the opinion that we have about his skills”.
Nevertheless, it might to the Nationals cost work that the firm right with them, because with complete certainty his agent Scott Boras will look for a contract for a record number, something that is not established until August 15, date of the closing inscription in the MLB.
In fact, preliminary numbers speak about a contract for $ 50 millions, but the most probable thing is that the price is about $ 20 millions, an absolute record for a player originated from the draft.
Also, it is doubted that Strasburg is ready for the competition and the pressure of the Big Leagues in the short term. One hopes that the brochure perhaps should appear in some party in September and should throw a pair of earnings, but not that between immediately in the regular rotation, at least in what stays of 2009.
