Mexico will likely play England next. I think in LA. A massive home game for Mexico (as it is when they play the US there)

The US team has had Mexicos number lately. My buddy from Guatemala thinks its funny when Mexico loses. Their fans throw trash on the field and fight in the stands. He knows that Guatemala's team is crap, but the Mexico fans are always telling how good the Mexico team is.

I actually picked England to 3d place & like them. But I like these plucky underdogs more; even if I picked the other way.

England is clearly the better side.
Congo's goalie has been great, almost got that Kane header.

But I guess I picked right after all. 2-1. (At least until they get to the Azteca lol).

This sport is even worse than football where you just can't enjoy a big play in the moment. Did you team score a goal? Don't cheer!! You have to wait 5 minutes to figure out whether or not there's a penalty or offsides.

US needs the 2nd goal - do not trust them to keep a clean sheet

I suspected that the USA favored by 5 to 1 odds was bogus.

Bosnia is pretty tough.
