And now Dominican has lost back to back to Venezuela and Mexico, the latter being a 24 point wire-to-wire rout. I don't think anyone expected Mexico - who qualified only because Panama was disqualified - to be 3-0. And Dominican now must win their final game (albeit against winless Paraguay) to move into the next round.

Not sure what the best scenario for Canada is. Argentina and Dominican losing games is generally a good thing, but you don't want Mexico to go 4-0 and be ahead of Canada going into the second round.

edit: also, the Brazilian coach has been suspended for one game for his tirade against the officials during the loss to Canada.
