The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when the author uses Michael Jordan's three-peat as motivation for his team. The use of a famous athlete's success is not inherently problematic, but it can be seen as an attempt to elevate the importance of this particular achievement and make it seem more significant than others. Additionally, there are several instances where the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Mexico's performance in the match.

Deception
(30%)
The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author uses a quote from Antonee Robinson to set up an expectation that he wants other countries to find this competition boring and for it to be decided long before a ball is kicked. However, this is not what Robinson said at all. He actually stated that he wanted the USMNT's dominance in the Nations League to continue and for them to win every game they play. This quote was taken out of context by the author, which could mislead readers into thinking that Robinson wants a lack of competition in this tournament when he does not.
The USMNT continues to dominate the Nations League, having now won all three editions in this tournament's short history. The result, in Robinson’s ideal world, would be decided long before a ball was kicked; it would be owned by the USMNT.
