Take note, all of the games are on FS1 because America(n Football).

Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!

This should be a fun day.

A lot of channel surfing between football and fußball.

I can't believe I am rooting for Argentina today.

This could be a penalty.

Yup. And the Saudis have a chance to equalize.

People complaint about “diving” in soccer. But that foul/penalty is evidence why. If he doesn’t go down, that isn’t called. 

Another bad PK and save. 
 

TWO saves. That second, WOW. 

That was a terrific save on the PK considering he first leaned to his left before coming back top his right, and the ball.

Yeah, the recovery was pretty impressive. It was a nice save.

Poland's keeper is never gonna pay for another beer or sausage in his life.

Szczesny? Dude could buy a vowel you know.

So, Mexico can’t get eliminated today, right?   If they can dig themselves one hell of a hole. Need Argentina to go dos a cero in each half. 

I think/hope Argentina's about to give Mexico a proper rogering.

Well Lew gets his. Small mistake that he blew up. 

First WC goal for Lewa.  Good for him.

What is the best and worst case scenario for Mexico to advance or not? I’m not good at math.

I'd say the best case is for them not to advance.

I would say if Mexico won like 10 to 0 that would be best case. If they lost like 10 to 0 that would be worst case.

Best win

Worse lose

They can't get eliminated, but a loss would not be good at all.

If they lose the group would be:

Arg/Pol 4
Saudi 3
Mexico 1

To advance they would need to win against the Saudis + make up the GD against the loser of Argentina/Poland. A draw between Pol/Arg would eliminate them.

EDIT - and I would add that this would be playing a Saudi team that WOULD advance with a win. So that would be a dog fight.

First 15 minutes of KSA I’ve seen and they look like a very competitive side. 
 

guess I shouldn’t be surprised considering their last result.

Not quite. Argentina is on 0. 

If Argentina won today and then drew Poland and MEX beat KSA it would go to GD between all 3.

That Lewandowski goal might come back to bite Mexico. They're gonna need some impressive performances against both Argentina and Saudi.

Honestly, just draw today and they're in good shape. Same situation as US just needing a win to advance. 

Lose today and yes, that goal becomes potentially problematic.

They are well coached. It really counts for a lot.

Yeah but that's easier said than done against a pissed off Argentina. They're more than capable of doing that but I know they weren't hoping to need a result against La Albiceleste

Whoops, you're right.

Yeah, that might even get worse because now Argentina does have incentive to beat the crap out of them.

Let's see how things play out and we can re run the math.

8 starters and 12 total players play on the same team. Clubs, whose players practice together 9+ months out of the year, are much more finally tuned that national teams.

2010 Spain (Barcelona)

2014 Germany (Bayern Munich)

The Netherlands (Ajax Amsterdam any number of years)

It is a huge advantage to have players playing next to each other who play together.

USMNT: Ream & Jedi as well as Aaronson & Adams

Am I wrong to think this French team is more like-able with that shithead Benzema out injured?

And no Pogba.

Yes.

He wasn’t on the team in 2018, so compared to the last WC, the team is largely the same. 

Rabiot’s mom is a whiny cunt, so that was a big problem for the 2021 Euros.

Was about to say the same.  And for me the stink of ratfaced Ribery is just finally wearing off

No Kante kind of evens that one out. 

La Marsellaise is a really great anthem

  • Author

Pogba - I’m ambivalent on him, but I don’t support his former club. I get that (from the outside I also don’t see that as 100% him though)

Player’s parents don’t matter to me.

I just happen to think all of the shit over Benzema’s head (blackmail, underage prostitutes, shit taking his teammates) make him wholly unlikeable. Make no mistake I get the talent, he’s just an asshole. 

That’s a red on Denmark come on ref. VAR should look at that.

Man that could have eaaaasily been a red.

Just Szczesny things:

 

He wasn't past the other defender...yet

Eh I think he was. The rules analyst mentioned that because it was pretty far from goal it may have influenced the card. 

I like giving a yellow there, but Christensen is lucky that's what it was. 

Bleus are uncharacteristically chaotic in the box for some reason. Danes doing a decent job of influencing that though.

I think the ball has bounced DEN's way a couple times. Feels like they're on borrowed time. 

Horrible first touch by mbappe there that nearly led to a goal for Denmark.
