Tremendous effort from Jamaica! Jamaica volleyball wins Caribbean title for the first time, Jamaica soccer advances from the group for the first time (I assume), there’s probably something with Jamaican track going on… what a great time for them lol Jamaica netball also top 4, with world cup currently in progress down in South Africa.

Panama scoring 3 goals against France was unexpected (France won 6-3). Their first one was only a minute into the game on a sublime free kick by Cox. Some crazy bounces in that match for both teams. Three penalties (including two on handballs in the box) and a couple of goals on shots that looked more like passes. One went directly in off the bounce, while the other bounced off the ground and hit the crossbar right to a Panamanian player.

Just arrived in Sydney and here for 24 hours before our flight back to the states. Should be home in time to see USA-Sweden from my couch.

Was really pulling for them but Jamaica's defense was rock solid. Three games, three clean sheets. France-Germany is gonna be a spicyyyy R16 (if results hold) oops

Bracket really opened up for France. Sort of. If Kerr is healthy, Australia could be a tough quarterfinal opponent.

the USA-SWE-JPN-NOR section compared to the rest... lol England has to love their draw... (it would be peak england to flop though) Yeah, on paper, I'd rank the four quadrants like so: 1. Japan/Norway/Sweden/USA 2. Switzerland/Spain/Netherlands/South Africa 3. Australia/Denmark/France/Morocco 4. England/Nigeria/Colombia/Jamaica

Here are the current odds at DraftKings to win the tournament: USA +250 England +350 Spain +650 Germany +650 France +750 Australia +1200 Sweden +1400 Netherlands +1600 Brazil +2500 Canada +2500 Everyone else is +4000 or worse. Here are the updated odds to win the tournament from DraftKings now that the quarterfinals are set: England +300 Spain +400 USA +450 France +650 Japan +750 Netherlands +1000 Australia +1200 Sweden +1800 ---------------------- Colombia +3500 Norway +5000 Nigeria +8000 Denmark +8000 Switzerland +10000 Jamaica +20000 South Africa +25000 Morocco +25000 Edit: I'd say the eight teams above the line have a shot, and the eight below likely don't. But we'll see.

USA plays Sweden on Sunday and is knocked out of the World Cup 2 am kickoff Pacific time. That's brutal especially considering how I felt I sleepwalked through the day after watching USA Portugal.
