WHAT THE? is my review column of the World Cup Qualifiers and I only cover the interesting events. This round of World Cup Qualifying was rather boring with the weekend seeing many draws and no awesome upsets. - Mexico was not able to handle Jamaica in a 0-1 lost. This is the closest thing to [...]
