France is in a bit of trouble right now. The French beat England to start the World Cup, 1-0, but then were shutout themselves by Colombia 2-0 in probably the biggest surprise to date.
The French are ranked third in the world by FIFA, but a loss here to Mexico could spell a big problem in getting to the knockout stages. England takes on Colombia today as well and if either team ends with a win, with a French loss, makes a big issue for France.
Mexico hasn't been good, drawing once and falling in their other matchup. They're only 25th in the world but have given up three goals to date in a couple of games. The goal differential is the same as France's at -1 and Mexico has actually scored more than once as well.
In today's game, France will look to press early to try and get a lead. Picking up a win should advance them to the knockouts.

Betting and Winning in the WNBA
According to pro handicapper Steve Fezzik, you don't even need to watch WNBA games to successfully bet the sport. He tells fellow handicapper Teddy Covers that the sportsbooks simply don't spend enough time setting good lines on the sport, so just following injury reports, like the one with top player Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury, will tell you what you need to know. Yes, the betting limits for WNBA are low, but the bright side to that is the wise guys leave WNBA alone, giving smaller stakes bettors more opportunities to succeed.
