We’re getting into the nitty gritty of the World Cup group stage. That means one thing: It’s time to pull out those calculators and abacuses (abaci?) and start crunching numbers for the countless World Cup knockout stage possibilities.
A specter is haunting the World Cup — the specter of Liga MX club Cruz Azul.
El Tri are in great form after defeating South Korea 2-1 and they are currently at the top of the table in Group F, followed by Germany, Sweden and South Korea.
But it seems that recent good results are not only due to Mexico’s outstanding performances.
The riff on “Seven Nation Army” is good, but it’s not so good that it should set the barometer for stadium energy levels at every major international tournament for the rest of time.
Worse noise blaring at the World Cup: Vuvuzelas since 2010 or Seven Nation Army since 2006?

If Miguel Layun manages to bury any of his six total shots over in Russia, he’s one of the stories of the World Cup. Of course Chucky Lozano has been excellent. Of course Carlos Vela has taken his game to a level that even the most ardent of Vela supporters couldn’t have anticipated. Of course Andres Guardado is a wizened midfield wizard.
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.
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.

El delantero Javier "Chicharito" Hernández es el orgullo de la selección de México y el jugador mejor pagado del West Ham United. Aunque Chicharito no es tan rico como superestrellas como Cristiano Ronaldo y Lionel Messi, Hernández puede presumir de un sueldo formidable. Entonces, ¿cuánto vale Chicharito?
El valor neto estimado de Chicharito es de $17 millones.
