That is the big question.    Why 9 teams?

From what I understand it was suppose to be one qualifier from the CFU Tournament, but once T&T get knocked out by Haiti, all of a sudden it became 2 teams. Warner again!!!!!! No wonder every time T&T do something in football people quick to discredit it.
Now they saying three teams will qualify from the group of 5. If T&T end up in the group of 5 questions will be asked once again.
Why would CONCACAF not say the two best teams qualify and number three in each group play each other for the last spot.

[Observer]

ANC2 y uh letting out secrets  To be honest this is all a shame, because before the Tournament start it look like a farce. US officials said they cannot even get a reply as to why the format changed. Imagine that!

As for groups A & B, the commitee making the drawings will probably set it up like this. they'll separate the 2 North American countries (Canada, USA) in opposite groups, then they'll do the same with the CFU qualifiers (Haiti, Trinidad & Tobago) and the UNCAF qualifiers (Costa Rica, El Salvador). So group A will have 2 UNCAF (including Honduras), 1 CFU, and 1 North American team. While group B will have 2 CFU (including Jamaica), 1 UNCAF, and 2 North Americans (including Mexico).

Group A

Group B
