My children have informed me that Iran has not advanced from the group stage, so this scenario is no longer possible.
If I'm reading the bracket correctly, I don't think it's possible for Mexico to play the USA unless the USA makes it to the final, which is too much success and would allow Trump to come up with some kind of stupid narrative about a biased ref or suchlike.
So I think the next best option is for the USA to be knocked out by Belgium, and then watch as Mexico defeats France in the final. Not as satisfying, but so long as Mexico wins.

I appreciate that what's most likely is that in the semifinals Argentina defeats Mexico and France defeats USA, leading to another France c Argentina final. But for now, Mexico is doing very well, and it's not impossible that they win.
