The Mexican national team may not be playing its most scintillating brand of soccer, but its getting the job done in World Cup qualifying so far. With two wins in its first two matches, El Tri is the only team with a perfect record and six pointsin the final round of CONCACAF regional qualifying. It has never won three straight to start qualifying in the current round-robin format.

Itsthird match comes on Wednesday night against a Panama team that surprisingly finds itself in second place behind Mexico on four points (win and draw). The Canaleros went into Jamaica and came away with a shocking 3-0 Ozzie Guillen Jersey road victory that has vaulted theminto contention for one of the three automatic berths to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The Panamanians will want to keep the good run going at home and end the three-game September slate on a positive note against one of the favorites to qualify in Mexico.

While Panama is on the ascendancy, Mexico is somehow facing criticism at home for securing results without convincing performances. Forward Rogelio Funes Mori is under particular pre sure for failing to score during the two games, despite starting both matches. The Argentina-born Funes Mori, who debuted for Mexico this summer and has four goals in nine appearances, has recently mi sed some good chances, while Alexis Vega, Henry Martin and Orbelin Pineda put away the goals in 2-1 and 1-0 victories.

Mexico vs. Panama: projected lineups

The Mexican national team will not feature talented winger Alexis Vega, who has rejoined Chivas Guadalajara for rehab on his injured ankle. Central midfielder Edson Alvarez has also gone back to his club team, Ajax Amsterdam after picking up a suspension for yellow-card accumulation.

The starting lineup could see the return of Jorge Luis Robert Jersey Sanchez at right back and Luis Romo in central midfield. One of Sebastian Cordova or Andres Guardado will likely join Romo and Charly Rodriguez in midfield for their skill on set-piece deliveries.

Mexico projected lineup (4-3-3): 13-Guillermo Ochoa-GK 23-Jesus Gallardo, 2-Nestor Araujo, 3-Cesar Montes, 6-Jorge Sanchez 8-Carlos Rodriguez, 5-Luis Romo, 14-Sebastian Cordova 17-Jesus Corona, 11-Rogelio Funes Mori, 21-Uriel Antuna

Meanwhile, Panama head coach Christiansen trotted out the same lineup for both of his team'sgames and it has worked to good effect with a 0-0 home draw to Costa Rica followed by the big 3-0 road win in Jamaica. No reason not to expect him to do the same, although three matches in seven days is a hefty load. Reports in Panama say left back Eric Davis could be out with a knock from the Jamaica match (Azmahar Ariano would take his place) and Cesar Yanis could fill in for veteran Alberto Quintero.

Mexico vs. Panama: Odds & prediction

Panama played well in its first two outings, but the opponents werent the toughest (Costa Rica and Jamaica), and the fact remains that it fell short against the Ticos at home, where Panama is known to feel the pre sure to perform for the home crowd. The Canaleros should come back down to earth against a team with the quality of Mexico and the moneyline odds reflect it.

The poor field conditions should level the playing field somewhat, which is why a draw is not entirely out of the question. Already with a maximum six points in hand from its first two matches, Mexico wouldnt be entirely di satisfied leaving Panama City with a point.

MORE:

It should take some time for the teams to adjust to the playing conditions, which is why the Mexico -0.25 first-half Asian Handicap (-115) presents compelling risk/reward. And betting on the second half as the highest-scoring half (+120) is not unreasonable.

But the most interesting odds may be found in the both teams to score category (+135). The Panamanians do not employ intricate attacking buildups and movements: They feed on broken plays and improvisation. They play simple and direct when theyre on the ball, firing shots or cro ses without much hesitation. On an uneven field against a team like Mexicos that is vulnerable on set pieces and allows the odd chance (see Jamaica match), Carlton Fisk Jersey the Panamanians should be good for a goal.

Prediction: Panama 1, Mexico 2

Panama

Olivier Giroud would have no qualms about finishing Ru sia 2018 without a goal to his name if France finish by lifting the World Cup.

Didier Deschamps' side take on Belgium in Tuesday's St Petersburg semi-final a game that will be graced by a raft of prime attacking and creative talents on both sides.

Chelsea striker Giroud New York Yankees Jersey began the tournament as a substitute but was introduced for Les Bleus' 1-0 win over Peru in their second match.

His robust presence at center-forward has helped to unleash the lavish gifts of Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe most notably when the latter tore Argentina apart with a virtuoso display.

Goals have proved elusive for a player whose place in the France lineup has long been a source of national debate in his homeland but two more wins are all that count for 31-year-old.

"If I didn' Mariano Rivera Jersey t score all tournament but we won the World Cup, of course I would take that in a heartbeat," Giroud said duringa news conference.

"I am motivated to speak with the youngest in the squad. I try and force myself to speak up. I really want my thirst for victory to come acro s to them."

Belgium's forwards are receiving similarly sage words from France great Thierry Henry, who is a key member of Roberto Martinez's backroom team.

"I would be delighted if I can prove to Thierry Henry that he chose the wrong camp," Giroud added.

"I would've preferred him to be with us, for him to give me and the other French attackers advice, but I am not jealous."

Nacer Chadli was Belgium's unlikely match-winner from the bench in their 3-2 last-16 win over Japan, earning a start at left wing- Didi Gregorius Jersey back for the quarter-final beating of Brazil that kept confidence coursing through the Red Devils squad.

"If you beat Brazil you should not be frightened by anyone," Chadli told reporters. "If you are scared, you will not play at 100 percent.

"The fight against Japan was already a turning point, after a 2-0 deficit and still winning within 90 minutes. We got a boost there."

J.A. Happ Jersey Players to watch

France: Paul Pogba

Finding a role where Pogba can perform to his full potential is arguably a code Deschamps still has to crack but the Manchester United midfielder performed with authority in the 2-0 quarter-final win over Uruguay, winning 14 duels ironically the type of numbers Jose Mourinho would be delighted to see him return more often on a regular basis.

14 - Paul Pogba won 14 duels against Uruguay, highest tally for a French player in a knockout game of the World Cup since Bixente Lizarazu in July 1998 v Croatia (14). Leader.

OptaJean (@OptaJean)

Belgium: Kevin De Bruyne

Don Larsen Jersey

In an arguable parallel with Pogba, De Bruyne was shackled by a deep-lying midfield role earlier in the competition. He was unleashed in a roving attacking position to devastating effect against Brazil, scoring with a wonderfully sweet strike. If the Manchester City man can produce more of the same France are in for a long night.

Key Opta stats

- Antoine Griezmann has scored seven goals in his last six knockout-stage matches in major tournaments, beginning with his Golden Boot-clinching displays at Euro 2016.- Romelu Lukaku has been directly involved in 20 goals in his last 13 games for Belgium Wade Boggs Jersey in all competitions, with 17 goals and three a sists.- France's Kylian Mbappe (three) is the highest scoring teenager in a World Cup tournament since Pele scored six in 1958. Pele hit a hat-trick against France in the semi-final of that tournament and is the last player under 20 to score in the final four.- Eden Hazard has been directly involved in 14 goals in his last 14 games for Belgium (eight goals, six a sists).

With the Ligue 1 title already in hand, PSG hit the road to take on sixth-placed Strasbourg at theStade de la Meinau. The 90 minutes were a perfect encapsulation of why this season has been so frustrating.

Crowned Ligue 1 champions last week, PSG found itself in a dogfight with a Strasbourg side boosted by a European battle and a boisterous home crowd.

The hosts got on the board early as former PSG Boone Logan Jersey striker Kevin Gameiro found a surprise opener. While Strasbourg was made to rue some other early mi ses, there was no doubt the hosts were up for the challenge.

Neymar and Kylian Mbappe provided the biggest spark for PSG, eventually going 3-1 up after halftime, but a vicious fightback from the hosts saw the points eventually shared. Substitutes bagged both late goals for Strasbourg, with Hamad Diallo doing the hard work on a Marco Verratti own-goal to pull one back before Anthony Caci found the equalizer in stoppage time.

The hosts will value the point greatly, in a battle for a European place. PSG meanwhile slumps to another draw after coughing up a late lead, after doing the same last week against Lens.

What a comeback! The hosts will be very happy with the point, while PSG will feel coughing up a two-goal lead feels like a lo s.

PSG played a three-back system, and may not do that again as Pochettino was made to rue the tactical experimentation. Kevin Gameiro was fantastic, and the two late goals for Strasbourg were both created by substitutes as the home managerial staff pulled the strings.

COMMENT By Solace Chukwu

It can get tiring after a while, constantly hearing character witne ses ask you to put aside the evidence before your own eyes. By all accounts, is misunderstood, a maverick with an unfortunate reputation.

Former teammate Blaise Matuidi is the latest to put forward this view. Yet, there's only so many times one can get caught in a compromising position without actually being compromised.

Truly, when held up against his previous indiscretions, getting called for three foul throws in one game seems almost tame. At worst, it was mildly embarra sing; laboured to overcome Crystal Palace, but it cannot Eddie Rosario Jersey be said that incorrectly taken throw-ins had them in significant peril.

However, much like the viral footage of Mario Balotelli struggling to put on a bib some years ago, it is a freak happening that seems to illustrate the problematic nature of a footballer who is undoubtedly talented. Spend enough time courting controversy and it attaches itself to you like a leech.

Perhaps this is how it will always be for Aurier. Perhaps that is the toll he exacts, and one must simply pay it. The trouble with that is the player for whom these conce sions are made must be seen to justify them.

At this time, the Ivory Coast Shane Greene Jersey international is doing nothing of the sort.

Serge Aurier | 2017-18 stats

In the summer, it seemed like a snip, bringing him over from Paris. Some even went as far as suggesting that Tottenham had done good busine s in bringing him for only a fraction of the sizable fee they got from Manchester City for Kyle Walker.

Much as Walker offered blistering pace, there had been concerns over his delivery into the box, with Kieran Trippier considered a better cro ser.

In Aurier, it seemed Jackie Robinson Jersey Spurs had gotten the beat of both worlds, and in Mauricio Pochettino they had a manager who had galvanized a middling collection of individuals into one of the Premier League's most feared teams. Surely, he would have a similarly transformative effect on the 25 Nick Markakis Jersey -year-old.

That is not, of course, how it has turned out.

Aurier has struggled even in a system which places a heavy onus on the full-backs to provide width in the final third, and has done little to have Trippier worried over his place. He almost single-handedly undermined the Lilywhites' valiant first-leg effort in Turin against Juventus with reckle s play.

As selecting him in the Champions League showed, Pochettino is keen to trust him. In any case, the physical tax of playing at full-back for the Argentina manager is great, and so some rotation is inevitable. Perhaps the adaptation is not as easy as most imagined, and he still needs a little time.

Yet, Spurs fans are justified to feel frustrated about it all, and question the wisdom of spunking 23 million on an international who needs this Adam Duval Jersey much co seting when Kyle Walker-Peters could easily be filling that same brief.

Pochettino's tone afterward, when asked about the foul throws, was admirably jocular, but he did make an important statement that cuts to the heart of the pre sing question where Aurier is concerned.

"Im sure they the fans are very disappointed,"he said."The first one he tried to get the ball into play quickly and then maybe made a mistake. I promise everyone that we are going to practice (throw-ins Julio Teheran Jersey ) every day."

Considering that the basic technique of throw-ins is something ingrained at youth level, and that full-backs' proximity to the touchline means they take most; the question is: if he doesn't know now, when will he ever?

More pointedly, his manager tries to explain away the first, but not the others.

That it happened twice more is the central frustration with Serge Aurier: this is a player who seemsincapable of learning from his failings and therebyproperly growing up.

Manchester United isclosing in on appointing Ralf Rangnick as the club'sinterim manager until the end of the season, according to multiple reports.

The Red Devils have held advanced talks with the 63-year-old, and it is expected he will soon be announced as Mike Fiers Jersey a short-term replacement for sacked former bo s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and current caretaker Michael Carrick, who was Solskjaer's a sistant.

Paris Saint-Germain bo s Mauricio Pochettino has been on United's radar, but the Ligue 1 giants reportedly knocked back an initial inquiry. Rangnick wouldsteer the ship until the end of the season.

MORE:

Pochettino, the former Tottenham bo s, Mark McGwire Jersey is keen to make the move to Old Trafford and would be open to leaving PSG in the middle of the current season. However, it is understood thatintermediaries sounded out the French side over letting him go and were knocked back, with the Ligue 1 side not interested in allowing their head coach to leave during the season.

Consequently, Catfish Hunter Jersey the United board hasbeen working through a five-man shortlist as itsearched for an interim succe sor to Solskjaer.

It is understood that conversations with Jed Lowrie Jersey Rangnick have been positive and he is expected to take the position on a sixth-month basis. He could then stay on after the season in a consultancy role.

Rangnick's career as manager

During his coaching career, Rangnick has managed five clubs Chris Bassitt Jersey in the Bundesliga, including Schalke and RB Leipzig.

It was with Schalke that he enjoyed the most succe s, finishing runner-up in Germany's top flight in the 2004-05 season andclaiming theDFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercupin 2011.

In 2012, Rangnick became director of football for both RB Leipzig and Austrian sister club Red Bull Salzburg, with the 63-year-old having played a significant role in helping Leipzig rise from the fourth tier of German football to the Bundesliga.

Joe Morgan Jersey Rangnick is currently Manager of Sports and Development at Ru sian Premier League side Lokomotiv Moscow, where he was appointed to the role back in July 2021.

James Maddison Erik Gonzalez Jersey could make his return from injury against Manchester City on Saturday in the Premier League, his manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed, as the hosts look to strengthen their top four credentials.

The England international has been sidelined since mid-February with a hip problem, ultimately ruling him out oflast month's international break in a potential blow to his hopes of making Gareth Southgate's Euro 2020 squad.

Foxes Roberto Perez Jersey bo s Rodgers says Maddison is almost ready to get back on the pitch, handing his side a major boost as they continue to contend with Manchester United, Chelsea and West Hamin a tight race for a Champions League berth.

What did Rodgers say?

"Hes back in training and he will be available for the weekend, so thats great news for us," . "Clearly, hes not 100 per Carlos Santana Jersey cent match fit but, in terms of his football fitne s, he looks great.

"In the last few weeks, hes been working with the team, with the players we have available, and hes stepped that up. Hes not reporting any pain and he looks great. Its really good news for us, his availability back into the squad again, and hopefully he can stay fit now until the end of Hanley Ramirez Jersey the season."

Rodgers also disclosed that Harvey Barnes, another Three Lions hopeful whose prospects look to have been scuppered by injury, is making solid progre s but is still some way off a return to action.

"Hes still got a way to go," Rodgers added."We cant rush it. Even then, when he does come back, its like all injured players, hes not going to trot Trevor Bauer Jersey back into the level he was at.

"Hes making really good progre s, working really hard, and Im sure, at some point before the end of the season, hell play a part."

The bigger picture

Leicester lie third in the Premier League, one point behind second-place United and five ahead of Chelsea in fourth.

With Jim Thome Jersey three wins and a draw in their last five games, the Foxes are in relatively fine form, as they look to claim a best Premier League finish sincetheir 2016 title triumph.

To do so though, they must first face a City side who turned their season around from an underwhelming start to run away at the summit and emerge as genuine contenders for an unprecedented quadruple.

Roy Keane has said that Paris Saint-Germain can consider themselves unlucky to have been knocked out of the Champions League by Real Mike Matheny Jersey Madrid.

The Ligue 1 leaders needed a big performance on Tuesday to overturn a 3-1 first-leg deficit but never threatened to stretch the two-time defending champions and ultimately lost 2-1 at Parc Paul DeJong Jersey des Princes.

While critics rounded on the lacklustre nature of PSGs exit, Keane unexpectedly jumped to their defence.

I think PSG have been a bit unlucky the last few years. I really do, he told ITV. They topped their group this year and who Drew Robinson Jersey do they get? Real Madrid.

They were unlucky in the first leg, they had a mad five minutes. Neymar's mi sing, they have a man sent-off in the second leg . You need bits of luck in this competition. I wouldn't be too critical of PSG.

Keane, who won the Champions League in Daniel Ponce De Leon Jersey 1998-99 with Manchester United, also defended the measured approach of Emerys side.

This seems to be the new buzz word about having a go at teams. It's very difficult to have a go when you're up against real quality players and you can't get the ball back. It's Real Madrid, the champions of Europe - Chris Carpenter Jersey give them a Marcell Ozuna Jersey break, the former Manchester United man said.

PSG have exited the Champions League at the last-16 stage in each of the last two years, a statistic that is expected to cost head coach Unai Emery his job in the summer.

A man reluctantly sold by the Serie Jorge De La Rosa Jersey A outfit in the summer of 2017 has enjoyed a stunning debut season at Anfield, with .

Salah is also , with the Egypt international considered to be performing at that level at present.

Dzeko is fully aware that the 25-year-old could now come back to haunt Roma in continental competition, but he is hoping to see an in-form forward endure a rare off day in Europe.

He told reporters ahead of a first- Taijuan Walker Jersey leg encounter at Anfield on Tuesday: It is such a shame that he left us.

A. J. Pollock Jersey

Of Salahs 41 efforts this season, nine have come in the Champions League.

He netted in both legs of a quarter-final clash with Manchester City, with the newly-crowned Premier League title winners put to the sword in spectacular fashion.

Aleksandar Kolarov could have been forgiven for asking his former club for a few pointers on how to try and contain the free-scoring frontman, but the ex-Blues defender insists Roma are eager to avoid focusing their attention on just one player.

The Serbia international, who helped his side to Abraham Almonte Jersey down Me si and Barcelona in the last eight, said: I havent spoken to anyone at City about Salah because it Alex Avila Jersey is not about stopping one player.

It would be dangerous to focus just on him. Liverpool are not only about Salah. They have a number of good players.

Against Barca, we did not focus just on Me si. We played as a team and by playing in this way we can achieve great things.
