Of the hand of the trainer Javier Aguirre, who reappeared in last April to give a blow of rudder to the boat that seemed to be shipwrecked in the hands of the Swedish Sven-Göran Eriksson, Mexico recovered its determination and the lost land until again reaching the positions of vanguard in the classification of the hexagonal end. The triumph in house in one inspired day of White Cuauhtémoc, of 36 years, puts to Mexico in his fourteenth world-wide one thanks to a campaign in which it reached 18 points of 27 possible ones.
But the great jump of the “Tri” in the classification was not round because of the United States, that in Honduran earth knew to heave a temporary duro and to overcome an adverse marker until finishing with victory of 2-3.
The result, besides anticipating the classification to South Africa 2010, affirms to those of Bob Bradley with 19 whole numbers like leaders of the hexagonal end, that grants three direct places to World-wide and the fourth selection right to one repesca with fifth classified of the eliminatory Souths American woman.
The debut of the Brazilian René Simoes surpassed the expectations when beating Costa Rica by 4-0 to a selection of Trinidad and Tobago that a long time ago lost interest in the eliminatory ones in the Concacaf zone. The result catapulted to the third place with 15 points Costa Rica, who came to fit three defeats, reason that persuaded to the managers to do without trainer Rodrigo Kenton.
The Costa Rican set was favored in its fight by the third direct place the World-wide one with the unexpected defeat in house of Honduras before the United States, although the pupilos of the ex- Colombian selector Reinaldo Wheel exhibited formulas clear to neutralize to the American equipment.
Honduras, that arrived at the penultimate day in the third position, the one that guarantees the last direct place to South Africa, has collapsed with its 13 points to the quarter, that Costa Rica occupied.
