Group of Death? Watching the Mexico vs South Korea highlights you quickly realize the only ones dying are those going up against El Tri.

Placed in a difficult group with Germany, Sweden and South Korea, arguably the toughest in the World Cup, many thought Mexico would have a difficult time advancing to the Round of 16. After a 2-1 victory over South Korea on Saturday, El Tri is all but through to the knockout rounds and on the way to possibly winning Group F. 

After beating Germany in the World Cup opener, Mexico couldn’t afford a let down in the second match. Thanks to a Carlos Vela goal vs South Korea, El Tri stayed right on track on Saturday in Rostov, Russia. 

On paper Belgium vs Tunisia was a mismatch. On the pitch, Belgium vs Tunisia was a mismatch.

Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard scored two goals apiece as the Red Devils routed the Eagles of Carthage 5-2 in Group G action Saturday at the World Cup. 

We thought it was a myth, like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster or common-sense politics. Romelu Lukaku proved us wrong.

This past week the World Cup was infested with simulation and deceit, including from two of the world’s best players. Cristiano Ronaldo argued for VAR after flopping in the box; Neymar dove only for VAR to overturn the duped referee’s decision.

To be the best, one must beat the best. Mexico did just that in its opening match, overpowering Germany with an impressive 1-0 win in the Group F opener on Sunday. With a result like that, many are wondering how Mexico can win the World Cup, if it’s possible and what the path would be.

Heroes and villains, heroes and villains ... today made me question the labels. I mean, there are only two truths in this life of ours, according to Jamie Treays: (1) everybody hates the law and (2) everyone loves a bank robber. So who are the heroes and who are the villains? Kinda makes you think ... where am I? Oh yeah.

Soccer is the beautiful game, although sometimes it can be ugly too. One of these instances of soccer turning grisly happened during the 1994 World Cup hosted right here in the United States. 

It was a match neither team could afford to lose in Group E and it appeared to be heading toward a draw in the closing minutes. Then Xherdan Shaqiri made one game-changing run and the next thing you know he’s peeling his shirt off with a 2-1 win for Switzerland vs Serbia. 

It turns out, Nigeria is more than just a pretty uniform. They’ve got Ahmed Musa.

After looking inept in a loss to Croatia to open the World Cup, the Super Eagles were flying against Iceland. Ahmed Musa scored two goals in a 2-0 win on Friday, succeeding where Lionel Messi and Argentina failed, but at the same time giving hope to La Albiceleste that they can advance through the group stage.
