This probably won't end up mattering but only because of the order of the games. Mexico plays Panama at home next so they're trying in that game regardless of opponent. Next is Costa Rica on the road (same thing as Panama). Third is T&T at home. They're in last so we probably don't have to worry about them. Assuming Mexico wins the two home games, they'll have qualified before their last game in Honduras. And if losing to Honduras will hurt our chances of getting third/fourth, you know they'll put a second team out there even if it costs them top spot in the Hex.
