in reality, predictions of a drubbing at the hands of Mexico mean nothing. if they finish 4th, new manager or not, we have just as good a chance as winning or losing against panama or honduras if they finished 4th. just like we drew against italy, who predicted that? or how we really should have beaten paraguay for that matter. this is world cup football, they wouldn't play qualifiers if it was just an easy matter of picking teams that should win
