So does the game that was meant to be in Mexico later go to Jamaica? or does Jamaica lose their home game all together?

Not only do I feel for the Jamaican people but I feel for any team that has a fixture moved to Azteca against Mexico. Here's to hoping they come out of this okay on both fronts.

this will be in favor of jamaica if they can get a draw vs honduras. that will give them three home games back to back next month giving them a chance for 11 points. i'm almost sure mexico will send a weaker team in jamaica in october and give the jamaicans a better chance at three points there.

Hurricane Gustav hit Cuba even worse and not that far from Havana. Do we know the condition of the field the US is suppose to play on?
