NORTH, CENTRAL AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN (CONCACAF)

35 teams competing for 3.5 places There are six countries fighting for three places at Russia 2018 here. Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama occupy first, second and third. In fourth are the United States, who beat Honduras 6-0 on Friday night after Clint Dempsey (right) scored a hat-trick. They are only one point behind Panama. It is tight, though, because Trinidad and Tobago and Honduras are on the same amount of points as the USA with seven games each still to play. The side that finishes fourth will go to the interconfederation play-offs.
