World Cup 2022 Poland v Argentina, Saudi Arabia v Mexico, Australia v Denmark, Tunisia v France - Wednesday 30th

[UnionBear]

Have said it before

No-one really comes close to Argentinian fans both internationally or domestically.

They are utterly sensational. What a buzz to be part of that.

 

[Peter_OHanrahahanrahan]

Poland really are dull, uninspiring dross every time they qualify for a major tournament. Hope they get pumped out.

 

[Iain04]

Poland really risking going out here. Can see Mexico getting another few

 

[Clay Davis]

Quite. A few European countries offered fuckall at this tournament.

Poland, Denmark and Poland for a start. Wales fair enough they’re just a bit shit.

 

[Iain04]

Third for Mexico ruled out for offside

 

[No Money No Problems]

No idea why anyone would want Poland to continue in this WC, unless you're Polish of course, lol. They are chronic.

 

[the_baron]

Switched over to the Mexico game, this is the more interesting one now.

 

[Hallers]

What needs to happen for Mexico to go through? 2 goals?

 

[SpandauBear]

What happens when Poland and Mexico are even on points and goal difference? Mexico-Poland game was a 0-0 draw as well.

 

[Clay Davis]

What needs to happen for Mexico to go through? 2 goals?

1 more apparently

 

[the_baron]

What needs to happen for Mexico to go through? 2 goals?

I think just one goal. They'd be level on goal difference and drew head to head but Mexico will have scored more goals?

 

[dcbear]

If Argentina score another, Poland and Mexico would be dead level on goals for and goals against. "Fair Play" the next tie breaker?

 

[MainStandLoyal]

What needs to happen for Mexico to go through? 2 goals?

Either Argentina or themselves need to score again without conceding.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Quite. A few European countries offered fuckall at this tournament.

Poland, Denmark and Poland for a start. Wales fair enough they’re just a bit shit.

Poland have been really bad!

 

[TheHammerJorgAlbertz11]

What needs to happen for Mexico to go through? 2 goals?

One more equals Polands goal difference.

I'm sure they drew with each other.

So maybe goals scored?

 

[sofa_kineazy]

Got Mexico on the big telly, Poland v Arg on the laptop.

Mexico are going to do this tonight.

 

[Ray Von]

What happens when Poland and Mexico are even on points and goal difference? Mexico-Poland game was a 0-0 draw as well.

Goes to goals scored.

 

[Macdonsj]

Argie or mexico goal and poland are 3rd

 

[SpandauBear]

Goes to goals scored.

Cheers, makes sense.

 

[sofa_kineazy]

One more equals Polands goal difference.

I'm sure they drew with each other.

So maybe goals scored?

I think that’s what the commentary team said.

 

[Iain04]

Main tie breakers go points, goal difference, goals scores the H2H I'm sure

 

[Clay Davis]

Goes to goals scored.

If they somehow go even on goals scored it then goes to yellow cards and stuff

 

[jones65]

What needs to happen for Mexico to go through? 2 goals?

One more from Argentina or Mexico would level up the GD. Mexico and Poland head to head is even.

Mexico through on average tadger size.

 

[muttley]

I always want to see the Argies out as quickly as possible. Cheating and thuggery is in their football DNA.

 

[Hallers]

Come on Me-hico

 

[sonofbunk]

If they are level on GD, goals and head-to-head then it’s fair play.

Japan put out Senegal in 2018 on that system.

 

[HandsomeHead]

Quite. A few European countries offered fuckall at this tournament.

Poland, Denmark and Poland for a start. Wales fair enough they’re just a bit shit.

 

[Ray Von]

When it goes to 3 team groups in 2026 it's going to get silly at times. There's bound to be a group that has three 0-0's.

 

[HowdenEnder]

This stadium the Argentina Poland game is in, is the only one without air con.

 

[Clay Davis]

Might eventually get to drawing of lots which comes after cards

 

[dcbear]

They should go to rock/paper/scissors. Make it exciting.

 

[Iain04]

Poland out as it stands?

 

[Puggy]

What a goal! 2-0 Argentina

 

[WillowBear]

Good goal

 

[Hoojar McKinney]

Wow.

 

[iain18(7)2]

Great finish form Alvarez 2-0

 

[Clay Davis]

Dive from the Mexico guy

 

[McQueen]

So that’s it now dead even on points, goal difference, goals scored and head to head.

So it presumably goes to cards?

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Great finish from Alvarez.

 

[Jorg Albertz]

So that’s it now dead even on points, goal difference, goals scored and head to head.

So it presumably goes to cards?

Was wondering this also

 

[WillowBear]

Mind you defence was pish

 

[Clay Davis]

Poland ahead on yellow cards hahaha

 

[Peter_OHanrahahanrahan]

When it goes to 3 team groups in 2026 it's going to get silly at times. There's bound to be a group that has three 0-0's.

Apparently they're considering having penalty shoot outs to decide drawn games to minimise the chance of this happening. The most American idea ever. Might as well go the whole hog and bring back the old halfway line dribbling shootout from 1990s MLS.

 

[wilso10]

He is some player that Alvarez.

City are very lucky to have him and Haaland.

 

[Awaydays]

Superb, now sit back and enjoy the argie fans celebrate. No one comes near them for their support.

 

[sofa_kineazy]

Now it’s down to fewer yellow cards as it stands!!

 

[HowdenEnder]

Who's got the booking stats?

 

[Hoojar McKinney]

So that’s it now dead even on points, goal difference, goals scored and head to head.

So it presumably goes to cards?

Far right Polish nutters v the cartel.

 

[Ray Von]

This is nuts.

 

[Finnieboy]

Poland still 2nd as less yellow cards
