Meh this is like saying Canada deserved to score and win vs Belgium

Wins are for those who have the mental fortitude to put it in the net.

England could NOT have played worse and USA still wasnt able to put one in.

[JakeCuenca]

Taremi is probably the best player in that USA-Iran matchup. That Iran-USA game is actually pretty close talent wise if you’re not a blind American..

that said, the US should have beaten wales. They controlled the game, have more talent...and they also outplayed England.


all good efforts wasted. Iran winning against the USA is nowhere near a surprise. They’re pretty even talent wise

Poland vs Saudi Arabia 2:0

7 min into injury time. Looks insurmountable. Lewandowski is a great player. Total ball dominance by the Saudis, still losing the game.

[dunkman]

Great result for Argentina, but Argentina still has to win some games, which they should given the rosters and teams.

Maybe didn’t see Diego play. But still, Maradona was such a legend, they left him coach the NT in 2010, with practically zero previous credentials.

Argentina must try do something after tactical changes at half-time. If Argentina doesn’t win . . . don’t see them passing to the eliminations phase. They should have kept Sabella after 2014, there was no reason for a change.

Mexico I think stands quite high in the rankings. Argentina is better, but it will take some effort to win and it’s not really guaranteed.

No doubt Mexico would lose by only trying to play defense.

Playing only defense is for losers.

Matchday3: Essentially if Mexico gets a result against the Saudis, then Polska advances

[Ariel]

Concerning the last game vs Poland:
If we lose we're out.
If we draw: we need Mexico and Arabia to draw, or a Mexico win by less than 3 goals. In both cases we'd end up second place and likely face France in the round of 16. Otherwise we're out.
If we win: we're in the round of 16. If Arabia wins by 3+ goals more than we do, we'll end up 2nd and likely face France, otherwise we'll win the group and Denmark will be our likely rival.

France, Brazil, Spain, Germany

Spain is going to win the whole thing.

Germany needs to beat Spain tomorrow or they're out. France has been ok, but the injuries are definitely hurting them. We'll see what happens with Neymar in Brazil.

Spain is a great team, but they have a lot to prove, IMO.

[Ariel]

Mexico needs to win against the Saudis and other results too, complicated.
Not really.
If Mexico beats the Saudis by 4+ goals they're guaranteed to advance irrespective of the Argentina Poland match. Maybe even 1st, more likely 2nd.
If Mexico wins by 3 goals they're guaranteed to advance if Poland beats Argentina (by any score) or Argentina beats Poland by 2+ goals
If Mexico wins by 1 or 2 goals, they need Poland to beat Argentina (by any score) or Argentina to beat Poland by 4+ or 3+ goals

So basically Mexico just needs to focus on winning by as wide a margin as they can. It's not out of the realm of possibility that they advance, especially considering the Saudis need to win as well, if they score first a few more may come in a flurry.

[lefty]

DAF86 So sorry for the loss

0 goals thru 2 matches

All of a sudden score 3 in the finale?

Saudis defense has really only given up 2 goals so far and 1 of them was a penalty.

Impact subs Alvarez and Enzo bailing out Pessi tbh…….

[Ariel]

0 goals thru 2 matches

All of a sudden score 3 in the finale?

Saudis defense has really only given up 2 goals so far and 1 of them was a penalty.
The Saudis have been very comfortable without the pressure to win. Now they don't have that luxury, and if Mexico opens the score, watch out.
In any case, Mexico and Poland winning (by half a goal each) is enough for them to advance. That's far from impossible.

So far, for me it's France, Brazil & Spain in tier 1, with England a step below. Argentina would be a long shot, but we've seen stranger things happen, so we can only hope.

Argentina still clear cut number 1, france and spain after that. Brazil was never a real contender and now with the injuries even less so tbh

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Argentina may beat Brazil though. They play them with a lot more confidence.

No overall favorite anymore. Knockouts will be exciting. Will come down to injuries, yellow cards and 1 or 2 bounces.

France look the best to me but Australia and Denmark aren’t the best competition.

France and Brazil are top 2 as of today but knockouts may be another story

Spain I think has to play with Germany. It’s a group stage, but still will show how the things are going there. No one mention them too much, but besides France, Brazil and England, Portugal and Argentina are strong opponents too. Probably some teams will start playing better in the elimination phase.

That's downright idiotic. Portugal, Greece, Denmark, have all won the Euro in the past 30 years, and those teams never would have won the WC.

Arrogant Canadian coach, they had one good game and all of sudden think they are word beaters. Fsggot gave the Croatians all the motivations they need. Won’t surprise me if this ends in 5-1 and Canada officially the worst team in the tournament because of this bozo.

I think you can legitimately argue for Canada as the best concacaf team, but now they’re saying goodbye as possibly the worst team in the competition. Stupid coach.

Croatia's Andrej Kramaric here at his man of the match press conference: "I want to thank the Canada coach for the motivation. In the end, Croatia demonstrated who F’d whom."

Canada manager of the Tournament. Great motivator.

Canadians are terribly conflictive, who could understand.
Some talking only to be the second team to go home, with a goleada.

:lmao Spanish defense

[Winehole23]

Love how Musiala played through blatant fouling before the cynical takedown.

[diego]

Someone explain to me why Martínez goal was disallowed for his arm being offside, but the Spanish defenders arm isn't considered on the disallow rudiger goal

Also, there were 3 unsportsmanlike fouls from Spain, 2 from players tripping from the floor, one from a guy kicking out on a throw in, none of them were called.. some teams just get away with anything

[dunkman]

I think arms aren’t counting for off-side, only the position of torso and foots in the moment the ball gets kicked for the assistance. Rudiger was off-side, from what I saw.

[diego]

arms not considered, and yet this was offside ... This is a supposedly automatic system

It still depends where the techs say ends the torso. If they put the line little left or right, things change.

Germany could (maybe should) be winning this. They won't be easy if they get through to the round of 16. I certainly wouldn't be the group winner to face them there.

[lefty20]

Damn that was almost a disaster with a teammate on teammate tackle.

Morata with a goal from the bench to put Spain 1:0, but Germany makes a goal to keep the team alive in World Cup. I don’t remember Germany going out so early.

Did we watch the same game? I think not...

[Ariel]

If Germany beats Costa Rica they'll have 4 points, the only scenario that would really screw them is if Japan beats Spain, which would have them tie with Spain for 2nd place but much worse goal differential (Spain would be +6 if they lose by one only goal). Highly unlikely, though. They need to beat Costa Rica by 2 if Spain and Japan tie, and by any difference if Spain beats Japan. Those are the more likely outcomes.

[diego]

Germany botched multiple attacks with poor decisions, they were 10 minutes away from elimination and walking into free kicks and corners..

In the first half two times Spanish players tripped Germans from the floor, and another kicked a player in a dead ball situation, those are dirty plays in any sport

Aside from a slow start, Germany played in equal terms with one of the best teams in the WC, could have been up if not by a hair of an offside, found themselves behind, didn't lose composure and outplayed Spain for stretches, equalized and maybe could have won. Saying they didn't play with a sense of urgency is completely misleading, they didn't lose their composure in a typical German way, like us Latin Americans usually do when desperation creeps in. This match was a good showing from a Germany that couldn't have started any worse. Now they just need to beat Costa Rica and allow fate to take its natural course with Japan not beating Spain, and that's it, they're through to the next round, where Croatia will be their likely rival. I'll put my money on the Germans going through, and advancing over Croatia.

Danilo's injured and out for at least the remainder of the group stage. 40 year old Pepe's getting the start :lol

Personally, i would have gone with 19 year old Benfica CB Antonio Silva but anything that keeps Danilo on the bench is a win in my book :tu

[lefty]

Danilo should never play CB anyway

[dunkman]

Serbia was in a group with Brazil, Switzerland and Costa Rica in 2018. Only change 4 years later is Cameroon for Costa Rica. Brazil also won 2:0.

It was strange to see Piksi’s team park the bus, against Brazil, but I guess the smart thing was to avoid a possible goleada. It will be interesting to see if things go better this time and the team qualifies for the knockout stage.

Last time Brazil and Switzerland passed trough.

[FrostKing]

I'm expecting Brazil let down
Uruguay is due can Portugal pull off the draw

A part from Luis Enrique, Spain doesn’t have a strong leader on the field. The team plays well, but maybe misses someone like Íker or Sergio. Then one isn’t sure what the final result will be. There’s ball dominance, but . . . well true to be said there wasn’t sense of urgency, winning against Japan, Spain will be first in group anyways.

Game of the day

[dunkman]

Cameroon vs Serbia 3:3

Unfortunately Serbian side has no laterals, trying to play with 3 center backs didn’t work well in a 3:4:2:1 formation. Also the best forwards are center forwards only, and Mitrovic seems to be in best form. Enough talent to qualify, but maybe not good enough to pass the group phase. Only a win against Switzerland, that left Italy out, is good and still hoping for the best.
