... and readers of this blog say Mexico will get to the Quarter Finals, at least according to 32 percent of voters in the poll "How far will Mexico get in the World Cup?"
Surprisingly, the second most popular option was Mexico to win the whole thing, a reflection, perhaps, of a partisan readership.
Not being one to quash dreams but according to www.oddschecker.com Mexico are between 60/1 and 100/1 in lift the trophy on July 11. A Mexico victory would be the most remarkable in the history of the competition.
The other votes were spread quite evenly between the group stage, round of 16, semi-final and final.
I think most that voted for World Champions would secretly be happy with a Quarter Final finish.
Thanks for voting.
