- Notes
- The match between Mexico and Guyana, scheduled for 9 December 1987, was abandoned after fifteen members of the Guyanese squad defected while on a training camp in California, leaving them unable to field a team for the match. Mexico were awarded a 2–0 victory by CONCACAF.
- As Mexico were disqualified by FIFA, Guatemala took their place in the final tournament.
Mexico expulsion
gollark: I don't *think* it would work as you think, anyway.
gollark: I remember reading about some weirdness with static vs dynamic linking.
gollark: Hmm, solution: ship some kind of shim layer which converts the native APIs to some other format, release that under the GPL, but then don't GPLize any code which connects via that.
gollark: PotatOS is free and open source?
gollark: I should ship tape shuffler too!
