USA v. Jamaica: What to Watch For

CONCACAF Women’s World Cup qualifying group stage is complete, and the semifinal matchups are set. At the top, everything went according to expectations, with the United States and Canada taking relatively easy paths to 9 points. But below the big names, things were a bit more unsettled. In the Cary group, Panama rode an outstanding performance from their young goalkeeper Yenith Bailey to beat Mexico to second place. Meanwhile, down in Edinburg, Jamaica’s impressive team performance, combined with a little bit of luck, was enough to see them past Costa Rica.
