  1. Fortunately, we don't need to score to advance.
  2. Poland or Saudi will play Australia in the Round of 16 if (1) Poland ties Argentina and (2) Australia ties or beats Denmark. These are not the most likely results but certainly not impossible.
  3. This scenario would also place England, France and Argentina in the same quadrant.
  4. Five Thirty Eight has the following projections: Group C Argentina 77% chance to advance Poland 75% chance to advance Saudi 31% chance to advance Mexico 17% chance to advance Two draws would do nicely here. Poland would move on as group winners and Argentina would qualify in second place. Group D France over 99% chance to win group Denmark 51% chance to advance Australia 45% chance to advance Tunisia 4% chance to advance France is going to move on as group winners. Denmark likely moves on with a win against Australia while Australia only needs a draw against Denmark to progress, in each case assuming that goalless Tunisia doesn't somehow beat France. In any event, it is quite possible that the winner of Netherlands-USA will play the winner of Poland-Australia in the Quarterfinals.
  5. Iran GK: Iran league RB: Iran league CB: Turkish league CB: Iran league LB: Greek league MF: Greek league MF: Saudi league MF: Danish league FW: Belgian league FW: Porto FW: Bayer Leverkusen
  6. England has replaced Mount, Sterling and Saka with Henderson, Foden and Rashford
  7. Jesus always seemed like a long shot with no PT so far. We will know in 10 minutes regardless
  8. So CCV instead of Zimmerman.
  9. The Dutch are starting their most attacking lineup with Depay and Gakpo up front and De Roon in MF.
  10. ALL HAIL GREAT SATAN!
  11. Impressive for Portugal to advance in this group before the last matchday. Their mission is now to avoid Brazil in the Round of 16

    Correct. The 10/10 answer would have been "All Hail Great Satan!!! Death to the Supreme Leader and his minions!!!"
  13. Note to self: Stu Holden not interested in taking a full blast to the face from Ronaldo

  15. Ghana leaks too many goals and will likely play Brazil in the R16 if they even advance which will require a result against Uruguay on Matchday 3.
  16. Huge win for Ghana obviously. Korea now needs a win against Portugal on the final day to have any chance of advancing.
  17. The group stage games get better and better as the teams get more and more desperate and then tighten up again in the knockouts.
  18. Player ratings Turner 7. Made the big save on Mount and distribution was generally fine. Makes me nervous on set pieces. Robinson 8. The left side of our defense has been immense. I wonder if a bigger team will buy him. Ream 8. Fantastic again. We knew he could distribute but his defending has been class. Zimmerman 6. Distribution was poor but defended well. This a level above him but he is battling. Dest 7. Thankful he didn’t pick up another yellow. Still not at his best but made some dangerous runs and we missed him when he went off. Adams 9. The heart of the team. His run back to make a tackle in the box when Robinson was caught upfield epitomized his performance. Inspired McKennie 8. Much better than against Wales. Won the ball, progressed the ball, beat his man. Showed why he starts. Musah 8. Can’t believe how young he is. Outplayed Bellingham. Another guy who is on his way to a bigger club. So important to wresting control in the first half. Pulisic 8. Involved in most of our positive attacking moves. Unlucky to hit the bar on a great effort. Took the game to England. Good delivery on corners Weah 6. Just ok for me today. Not bad but I want to see what Gio could do here. Wright 5. Not sure what he provides. I’d like to put Weah at the 9 against Iran. Aaronson 6. Ok but I expected more from him than just energy. In a tough role. Moore 4. Constantly fouled and wasted opportunities. Not good enough for this level. Play Scally. Sargent 5. Did nothing. We need a 9. Gio 5. Not enough time to make an impact. Berhalter 7. Got his initial tactics right and won the coaching battle against clown Southgate. Moore sub was poor and the Gio sub was 20 minutes late.
  19. We know that Voldemort will fuck every decision. The players have to get results in spite of him
  20. Senegal will keep pushing for GD
