The United States v. Czech Republic game is set to start.
My prediction - US 2-1 Czech Republic (even though this is woefully wrong, I will keep it up.
Final Score.
US 0-3 Czech Republic.
Well, one prediction was met - three goals were scored.
The countries represented in the World Cup that the United States has Peace Corps volunteers:
Costa Rica
Ecuador
Ghana
Mexico
Paraguay
Togo
