Yesterday the two favorites of Group A, Mexico and Canada, were decisive winners in their first matchups, routing their underdog opponents by a combined 11-0 scoreline.
Will group B feature a similar day of blowouts? I certainly hope not. The expanded 16-team format has opened the competition up to more teams and Nicaragua and Bermuda are two of the teams that benefited from the expanded format.
Bermuda will make their Gold Cup debut off a strong Nations League qualification campaign that will see them in one of the top groups with Mexico and Panama this fall.
