The Guardian FootballWho would the US need to beat to win the World Cup? Probably only Spain, France and England
Mauricio Pochettino’s team won their group after some impressive performances. But they’d probably need to beat some of the world’s best to claim the title Football Unites the World … in wishing it had paid more attention in applied mathematics class. Or so the Fifa slogan could have been expanded to say, given the mind-warping that arose from the formula for slicing the newly expanded 48-team tournament down to 32 sides for the first knockout round . After all, why do a random draw when you can build a matrix with 495 possible scenarios in order to assign the fixtures for the eight best third-placers? Anyway, what matters is that Mauricio Pochettino’s team will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32, and no new format is going to stop us from – in time-honored fashion – speculating wildly about what may happen next while we still have the chance, with the potential for American wins rated using one of the mantra-loving manager’s motivational rallying cries of choice.

Head coach to depart after Uruguay exit with Spain loss Bielsa: ‘I am responsible for all the disappointment’ Marcelo Bielsa said he had left nothing to Uruguayan football after overseeing their elimination from the World Cup. Uruguay failed to win a game in a group that included Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia and their exit was confirmed with a 1-0 defeat by Spain in Guadalajara during which the 40-year-old goalkeeper Fernando Muslera was withdrawn at half-time after his error handed Spain the only goal of the game. The 70-year-old Argentinian, who took over in 2023 and whose relationship with the players was poor, to the point of describing himself as “toxic”, will not continue in the post. Continue reading...
