News: US clinches World Cup berth; Czechs looking to playoff in

The US is in the World Cup. The Czechs...not so much.

While being the favorite to win their UEFA group, some big mistakes early have left them on the outside looking in. Currently in third, they just won on Saturday to keep their hopes alive. Now, they have another MUST win Wednesday. If they win and 2nd place Slovenia do NOT beat cellar-dweller San Marino, they go to the UEFA playoffs to win their way to South America.

That's pretty much not going to happen. The Czechs will probably beat the North Irish, but the odds of 2nd place Slovenia losing to a national team who hasn't even TIED a match in the group play, let alone won one, is slim to be nice.

Beat.
