8. pretty amazing since the tying and winning goals came in injury time

Panama took its foot off the gas apparently.

10. The best part is it's the B tier backup players.

And Panama players were begging to just leave it a tie and were frustrated that the American players were playing as hard as hell. It's not like the American players wanted Mexico to win, it's more that they didn't want to give Panama a gimmie just because. True sportsmanship. Especially in a sport where sportsmanship is often overlooked for scoring.

2. So now both Mexico and US qualified?

Cool

3. Not quite, Mexico faces New Zealand. But they're not disqualified.

And Mexicans are ecstatic about the result, even if their chances are slim against the All Blacks (Mexico has been playing poorly this whole season).

4. Are they playing in Mexico or New Zealand?

5. It will be two games minimum, first will be in Mexico at Azteca.

Second will be in New Zealand, not sure which stadium.

If there is a tie I think they'll bring it back to Mexico.

6. Cool, i hope they win.

Not fan of NZ.

7. There's no tie.

They go to a shoot out. I think the Mexicans will shoot first while the Kiwis are chanting the Haka.

9. Ahh, didn't realize that, thanks.
