⚽️ Mapping Out Daunting Path To Final For USWNT

The U.S. moved on to the Round of 16, but the work has just begun for the reigning champs. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: The USWNT is officially on to the Round of 16, but what does the path to a potential World Cup Championship look like? … Aaron Rodgers brings drama wherever he goes, but is that bad for a young team? … and more! It so, so nearly wasn't the case, but the United States is alive and kicking at this Women's World Cup — even if the aforementioned kicking wasn't particularly accurate, cohesive or confidence-inducing during the team's disappointing 0-0 draw against Portugal. Survival is the name of the game in the group stage of any major tournament, but the Americans stretched that theory to its absolute limit, hanging on grimly to book a place in the Round of 16, and now embark on what they hope will be a brand-new journey with a markedly different script. Up next, barring a wild and virtually unthinkable combination of results Wednesday, will be Olympic silver medalist Sweden, which has wrapped Group G in every way except the one that fully satisfies the mathematicians. After that, do we even dare look ahead, given that Sweden is the world No. 3, beat the USA in both the Rio and Tokyo Olympics, and just rattled off a comprehensive thumping of Italy? Yes, we do.

[BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Michigan Wolverines to win 2023-24 CFP National Championship (+800) From FOX Sports Betting Analyst: Geoff Schwartz I could easily pick Alabama here and would feel awesome with that selection. However, I will take the Wolverines and pray they figure out how to win a game once the new year begins. Michigan’s Blue-Chip ratio is well below that of Georgia, Clemson, or even Alabama, but they have a formula that wins games. They beat people up at the line of scrimmage and mostly do not make mistakes. JJ McCarthy is talented at quarterback, Blake Corum returns at running back, and the offensive line is loaded with talent. While the veteran defense still needs to find that consistent pass rush they saw with Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo, the talent will be excellent again. I’m fine with sprinkling a few bucks on a team that made the playoff two years in a row. For the latest betting odds, [click here](.
