  1. Yeah, the auto-qualifier is definitely a question here. Typically, only the host country gets a free pass. Now, there are 3 Host Countries. If all 3 co-hosts get in, that would pretty much do away with the CONCACAF Q-Tournament, with only a play-off spot remaining. I hope they straighten this point out soon. I mean, if you are one of the host countries, how much would you want to invest in the activity if your team might not be playing??????

    • CONCACAF will have 6.5 spots for the expanded 48 team WC. They can have qualifying and a HEX for the other 3.5 spots. Hex would likely include Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, TNT again as well as two from the group of Jamaica, Guatemala and El Salvador.
