This is DR's game to lose.

Uruguay's last two games against Canada have finished by a combined 4 points, yet today half of the uruguayan team looked tired at the end of their win against Brazil. I dont think they will even try to beat Canada today.

Mexico is playing at another level. If they can contain Scola, who has looked far from spectacular so far, plus keep Campazzo in check, they might be looking at another easy win.

And Jamaica, why not? Brazil looks like it doesn't care anymore, except maybe for Huertas and Giovannoni who look disgusted at whats happening.

I saw in the box scores Ewing played. But limited minutes. How did he fare?

Didn't fare well, looked awkward. Showed some intensity though.

[trash can]

Do you think Argentina have any chance to beat Mexico? I can't see that coming.

[J-Mart]

Scola has to step up for that to happen.

Canada-Uruguay game delayed until after the other games due to power outages.

[Hepcat]

Weren't there similar organizational difficulties at last year's Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Venezuela?

[Mojado]

Guess there is no Mexico-Argentina tonight...no games are displayed on tv.

[trash can]

So, what is procedure now? When will these games be played?

Supposedly is going to be played at 10:30 pm. (venezuela time)

[selcuky]

Mexico is playing SO bad on defence. Their closeouts.... wait there is no closeouts.

[Dtown]

Just like that Argentina back to being Argentina.
