Didn’t realize Canada was still in WCQ? I think you mean Honduras. But close.

Fox Soccer Channel commentator Christopher Sullivan needs to know how to pronounce John Toshack's name. Every time he mispronounces it, it grates me. It's TOSH-ack not TOE-shack. Grr!

I think England beats Croatia tonight.

Serbia will defeat France 1-0.

The US and T&T draw 1-1 with the Soca Warriors dominating the possession but the US nicking a goal on a set piece. Sunil Gulati should then send Roy Keane a thank you card for forcing Yorke to withdraw from the squad.

Mexico will destroy Canada. 4-0 is my pick, although the game not being at Azteca means the home field advantage Mexico normally enjoys they will not have.

Quick predictions:
France will not beat Serbia if they play like they did against Austria. They may not beat them even if they have their A game

Canada look like they are done for already. I don't see them winning away to Mexico with their negative tactics. It will be a miracle if this game goes any other way.

England are going to have an uphill battle just to get a draw as Croatia are a better team at this point. I think Croatia will win with perhaps a 2-1 scoreline.

The US will probably pull a 1-0 or 2-1 win against T&T but struggle to do so.

Germany will not have as easy a time with Finland but should still win. 3-0 or 3-1 seems likely.

Italy will play better against Georgia and pick up another 3 points.

Turkey should be Belgium but the Turks have been very inconsistent in qualifying in the past couple of campaigns.

My upset pick would be Denmark getting a draw against Portugal but that's a bit of a longshot.
