1) Win at home
2) Draw away

After the first round of matches in the Hex, here's how the teams stand when judged against that standard:

Honduras (0)
Jamaica (0)
Costa Rica (0)
USA (-1)
Mexico (-2)
Panama (-2)

It's a great day to be Honduran or Jamaican, not so great for Americans and Mexicans. After today's matches, USMNT occupies the bottom spot in the Hex. Immediately above us, Mexico. That's just odd.
