The opening two rounds of the Concacaf Nations League went in the books in September and left plenty to digest, including late-game heroics, world-class finishes, and surprises from unheralded nations and players. 

The inaugural Concacaf Nations League offers many of the region’s smaller nations to convene and benefit from more competitive matches on the calendar than ever before. There are sure to be surprise stories such as Haiti and Curacao at this summer’s Gold Cup, but an added bonus is the opportunity to bring new faces into the fold.

Group C of League A in this Concacaf Nations League might not be the most star-studded. There might not even be a clear favorite, as the seeded team in this group, Honduras, finished fourth in their group at this summer's Gold Cup. But with much uncertainty, Group C might just provide plenty of drama, as Los Catrachos, Trinidad & Tobago, and Martinique fight for the spot in next summer's semifinals.

Sometimes all it takes is an opportunity.

Sometimes, it's hard to go back home.
