In South America, CONMEBOL teams prepare for the fifth and sixth rounds of the World Cup Qualifiers. With six of the 10 CONMEBOL teams currently ranked inside FIFA's top 20, the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers are regarded by many as the toughest in the world. Teams face off on Thursday, March 24th with Brazil vs. Uruguay, Ecuador vs. Paraguay, Bolivia vs. Colombia, Chile vs. Argentina (PPV) and Peru vs. Venezuela. On Tuesday, March 29th the sixth round features Colombia vs. Ecuador, Uruguay vs. Peru (PPV), Venezuela vs. Chile (PPV), Argentina vs. Bolivia and Paraguay vs. Brazil (PPV).
The fourth round of CONCACAF qualifiers continues on March 25th and March 29th. The qualifying began early last year when six of the region's biggest soccer nations-USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama, and Trinidad and Tobago-join the competition. On Friday, the US National team, under the direction of Jürgen Klinsmann, faces Guatemala at the Mateo Flores Stadium in Guatemala City. Coverage of this match starts at 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT with a special The Express Pregame show featuring former USMNT players Heath Pearce and Christopher Sullivan and former US U-20 head coach, Thomas Rongen. Other CONCACAF matchups include, Haiti vs. Panama, Costa Rica vs. Jamaica, and Trinidad & Tobago vs. St. Vincent & the Grenadines.
