The USA MNT embarrassed themselves by "celebrating" after losing to Costa Rica because they didn't get beat by 5 or more goals.

Canada is still in pot 4 , which seems a little ridiculous considering Mexico and USA are in Pot 2

The pot assignments are based on FIFA rankings, not playoff results. Mexico is ranked #9, USA #15, Canada #38.

yeah, did Canada start way back in the rankings at start of qualification?

more a flaw in the FIFA rankings

They went 2-0-2 vs Mexico and US during qualification , I feel like they should be in at least pot 3

Looks like Mexico just moved to 9th, US down to 15

Heard Berhalter being interviewed this week and he said that if Wales qualify , then based solely on FIFA rankings the US group would actually be the toughest one
