In the first date of the hexagonal end, El Salvador joined 2-2 against Trinidad and Tobago, and last weekend the United States mended 2-0 in against for joining 2-2 in San Salvador.
The cuscateclos go last in the qualifying round with two points (to see table).
“ We go away with a bitter flavor, sad because the team played at extracting a good result”, there declared the trainer of El Salvador, the Mexican Carlos de los Cobos.
For his part, the Costa Rican technician, Rodrigokenton, had words of good upbringing for El Salvador. “I ask all the teams for respect we create only ours others, and in this respect is the victory. In this occasion El Salvador marked excessively our creative ones, to Walter (Rye) and Celso (Borges) but little by little the marks came undone and the goal was obtained”, he said.
In another meeting, Mexico was thrashed by Honduras 3 to 1, it turned out that it stopped staggering to the technician Sven Goran Eriksson.
The managers of the Mexican Federation of Soccer admitted that the "Tri" must add points to domicile if he wants to qualify to the world cup of South Africa 2010, and said that the most recent reverse will provoke an analysis thoroughly of Eriksson's process.
The team of the Swedish helmsman goes quarter in the hexagonal end of the Concacaf, a position that if it is supported a repechaje would force it to dispute against the fifth one of South America (Uruguay, until now).
“ In Honduras we chat (with Eriksson) and we will do a deep analysis on the obtained results, on the form in which it has been played. We speak with him it does and it showed his tactical questions to us and it will be in expectation of the decision that we take of the meeting that is had by the members of the committee of national teams”, said the director of the selections, Néstor of the Tower.
“ We lacked very much and created little goal occasions, but we tried to play well, although we fail in many opportunities”, said as well as Eriksson on the party before the catrachos.
In Mexico the sensibilities are flush with skin. “It is out”, for example, it titled in his front the sports section of Reform, which added that “Sven sinks the Tri since it arms the alignment and only it is missing that they formalize his cessation; There sounds Aguirre and 'Chepo' (of the Tower)”.
The catrachos, which had a point after the first two days, now have four and occupy the second place of the hexagonal end.
Finally, the United States defeated without problems Trinidad and Tobago with three goals of Jozy Altidore.
“ It is something very good”, mentioned the player. “The most important thing is that we go out and the boys improved with regard to the game against El Salvador, and we leave in clear that we are one of the teams to take into consideration in the Concacaf”.
