Day 8 (6/18) 30+ entries, Mexico is in

ANDREW JACKSON HALL, NASHVILLE, TN - Mexico took advantage of a miscue to become the first team to qualify for the Round of 32, winning Group A.  South Africa converted a late PK to tie Czechia 1-1.  Switzerland (4-1 over B&H) and host Canada (6-0 over Qatar, its first WC win) routed to each virtually clinch a knockout round spot (4 points each).

Haven't vetted the entries yet but we have over 30.  Each group match is just worth one point so picking the right knockout round teams will be key.

Somehow got one Hamilton musical ticket and it was just 11 rows from the stage.  Wore my old South Africa jersey.
