Costa Rica/Honduras in the same group is great too, those matches will be absolute knockdown, drag-out fights. Panama should cruise though their group. TnT will also be a challenge for Curaçao/Jamaica.

Would you make Panama favourites in Group A?

Jamaica favourites in Group B

And Costa Rica favourites in Group C?

Again just to want to say it is very much appreciated, @LewisGT and @DJHazey for the updates and stats you put into this.

Yes until Curaçao proves it in higher competition, it has to be called Jamaica's Group B to lose, so I'd agree Costa Rica/Jamaica/Panama.

Honduras and Curaçao for the intercontinental playoffs.

The teams in Group B mean we'll get at least one team that isn't in Central America qualifying then, which is good! Group C does seem nasty, in Group A I'd love to see Suriname qualify but who knows what'll happen.

3rd Round begins in September. Here's the slate for the first matches of the round:

Group A

9/4 - Suriname vs. Panama [Paramaribo, Suriname]

9/4 - Guatemala vs. El Salvador [Guatemala City]

9/8 - El Salvador vs. Suriname [San Salvador]

9/8 - Panama vs. Guatemala [Panama City]

Group B

9/5 - Bermuda vs. Jamaica [Devonshire Parish, Bermuda]

9/5 - Trinidad & Tobago vs. Curaçao [Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago]

9/9 - Jamaica vs. Trinidad & Tobago [Kingston]

9/9 - Curaçao vs. Bermuda [Willemstad, Curaçao]

Group C

9/5 - Haiti vs. Honduras [Willemstad, Curaçao]

9/5 - Nicaragua vs. Costa Rica [Managua, Nicaragua]

9/9 - Costa Rica vs. Haiti [San Jose, Costa Rica]

9/9 - Honduras vs. Nicaragua [Tegucigalpa, Honduras]

Biggest matches in that bunch to get things rolling will be El Salvador vs. Guatemala, Trinidad & Tobago vs. Curaçao, and Haiti vs. Honduras as those could end up being the battle for 2nd place.
