Two more co-hosts get their World Cup campaign up and running tonight and Canada are up first as they take on Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Canadians haven't progressed beyond the group stage before but will never have a better chance than this summer on home soil.
Group B looks relatively straightforward and a win over the Bosnians in Toronto tonight would see them plant one foot in the last 32.
Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia upset the odds in the play-offs as they pipped Italy to a place at the finals and they will need to do so again tonight.
Bet365 make them 10/3 outsiders for this Group B opener while Canada are odds-on favourites at 17/20.
The big takeaway from the opening game was how harsh some of the VAR calls were so that could be worth factoring into your betting.
Over 4.5 cards tonight pays a decent 11/10 at Bet365 while the same firm offer 7/4 on a penalty being awarded.
Celtic defender Alistair Johnston likes to get stuck in and he looks good at 5/4 for over 1.5 fouls.

United States vs Paraguay
The late match sees the United States face Paraguay in their Group D opener, with both sides desperate to get off the mark in a tricky section.
Turkey and Australia are the other teams battling for a place in the knockout stages and every match should be keenly contested.
Home advantage could be key for the Yanks but Paraguay are usually a tough nut to crack at World Cups, with the emphasis on defence.
The half-time draw could be a good option tonight and that pays 21/20 at Bet365, who also offer 6/5 on most goals coming after the break.
These sides faced off in a friendly in November, with the Americans winning 2-1. Omar Alderete was sent off that night and the Sunderland stopper is 11/4 to go in the book again. He's also 13/8 for over 1.5 fouls.
Shelbourne vs Shamrock Rovers
Away from the World Cup, there's action in Ireland's top flight as leaders Shamrock Rovers take on Shelbourne in a Dublin derby.
A run of five wins in seven games has taken Rovers six points clear of closest challengers Bohemians but this is a major test of title mettle.
Shelbourne are also in excellent form, going seven games without defeat after four successive losses sent them hurtling down the table.
Four of those seven games have ended level so the stalemate might be worth a punt tonight at 11/5 with Bet365.
Both meetings so far this season have been thrillers with a 2-2 draw at Tolka Park followed by a 3-2 home win for Shamrock. That suggests over 2.5 goals could pay off tonight at 43/40 with Bet365.
