Hey there World Cup fans! ENGERLAND just took a big step towards qualifying at the top of their group with their 1-0 win over Denmark yesterday-slash-today. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for Haiti who were all but eliminated from competition after their loss to China. I love a good underdog story and there are few as big as Haiti in the World Cup.
The big game today-slash-tomorrow is France vs. Brazil, but Panama-Jamaica is also a good one from a Spurs perspective — the Reggae Girlz can take a big step towards qualifying out of their group with a win over Panama… but they’ll have to do it without Bunny Shaw.
Here are your recaps and schedule for today’s action.
