Around the web, though not on this site, there has been a lot of consternation over the proposed
change to CONCACAF qualifying. Most of this has centered around the probable loss of the
home-and-home between the US and Mexico, though some has extended well beyond that. The changes
have ramifications for nearly every soccer federation in CONCACAF.

The Caribbean Championship tournament is going on right now, and last night Dominican Republic
defeated the British Virgin Islands 17-0! yes, 17-0! And these are the teams that CONCACAF wants to
give more World Cup qualifying games too. What a joke.

One website makes the case for the top 3 choices:

The CFU Digicel Caribbean Cup has completed its first stage of qualifying rounds following the
conclusion of Groups C & D over the weekend. There would be celebrations for Guyana and Dominica,
who both topped their respective groups, whilst Suriname went through as one of two 'best'
runners-up in the group stages.
The side with the best record in all of Europe has not lost in 23 matches in all
competitions,winning 20 of those. They are the only side in Europe yet to lose in any competition
this season. They have kept clean sheets in over 2/3 of their league fixtures, are 8 points clear
at the top of the table after just 13 fixtures, and have a goal differential more than twice as
good as their nearest competitor.
