The other set of quarterfinal games take place on June 17th in Houston with the best of Group C playing the better third place team from Groups A or B at 2pm and the second place Group C team playing the second place Group A team at 5pm.
Both semifinal matches will take place on June 21 in Chicago with the final happening on June 24th at 2pm.
Here is the city list along with the playoff games:
Quarterfinals
Boston
June 16 - Quarterfinal 1 - 1pm Canada (A1) v Guatemala (B2) (Telefutra)
June 16 - Quarterfinal 2 - 4pm USA (B1) v Panama (C3) (Fox Soccer & Univision)
Houston
June 17 - Quarterfinal 3 - 2pm Honduras (C1) v Guadeloupe (A3) (Univision)
June 17 - Quarterfinal 4 - 5pm Mexico (C2) v Costa Rica (A2) (Telefutra)
Semifinals - Final
Chicago
June 21 - Semifinal 1 - 6pm Canada v USA (Telefutra, Fox Soccer Channel)
June 21 - Semifinal 2 - 9pm Guadeloupe v Mexico (Univision)
June 24 - Final - 2pm USA v Mexico (Fox Soccer Channel, Univision)
The US should be able to make it out of their group without much fuss, however look for Trinidad & Tobago and Guatemala to give them more trouble them they want. Mexico should also have a pretty clear shot in Group C. Group A will probably come down to Costa Rica and Canada. Smart money would look at Costa Rica, however Canada is developing.
Interesting to note that as long as the US and Mexico take one of the top two spots in their group, there is no way they could play each other till the final. Also, interesting to note that there is no third place match. I'm guessing that with the Copa starting so soon after this game, neither the US or Mexico wanted to risk playing a meaningless game if they failed to reach the final.

Thank you,

Any idea if these matches will be on television?
