The group stage is over, and now that the men have been separated from the boys, four teams will fight for the right to be in the 2020 Summer Olympics.
Both games will take place at the legendary Estadio Jalisco, starting with the game between the USMNT and Honduras. Honduras finished first in Group B with five points, while the Stars and Stripes ended in Group A's second place with six points. Both teams will have a fighting chance to make it to the Olympics, but given their performances, we have to say that the USMNT are seen as the favorites to book their trip to Tokyo.

The second game will feature Group B's second place, Canada, against the hosts and Group A winners, Mexico. The Canadian side is seen as a major underdog, mainly because the feisty crowd will make their presence felt at the stadium with their particular style of supporting their home team, which has been seen as rather offensive due to some expressions yelled by Mexico's fans. With the best offensive unit in the competition and with everything in their favor to make it to Tokyo, we have to say that Canada winning the ticket to Tokyo would be quite a stunning result.
