The Sunland Lord Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Just now, BigFatCoward said: Apparently if Argentina score another, 2nd is decided by fair play points, whatever the fuck that means. Poland progresses before Mexico as it stands. Poland has fever yellow cards - 4, Mexico has 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Poland and Mexico tied on goal difference, goals scored and head to head. Will come down to fair play points if the scorelines remain as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisandro's height has not hampered him much through his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Another yellow for Poland. Very silly in light of the situation. Another one and they draw lots. Edited November 30, 2022 by BigFatCoward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Mexico are all over Saudi Arabia and Argentina are likewise battering Poland. Another goal or two isn't quite out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maithanet Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I am rooting for someone else to score because Poland advancing on the basis of yellow cards is ridiculous. Why not just arrange a shootout between the two tied teams? It's not like it would take too long or leave anybody exhausted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IheartIheartTesla Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Mexico deserve another goal. Or Poland deserve another goal scored against them. Either way, rooting for El Tri based on North American tribalism (even though supposedly we have an intense rivalry with them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3CityApache Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 It was the worst game of my national team I ever watched, my eyeballs still bleed. We are so fucking clueless.

kairparavel Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Wasn't a tie in standings settled by fair play points last WC? Yes. Japan knocked out Senegal. Edited November 30, 2022 by kairparavel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord of Oop North Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 11 hours ago, Tywin et al. said: Ronaldo is reportedly being offered over $300m to play in Saudi Arabia. Is this kind of sports washing actually working? Qatar has been embarrassed on almost every level and I've yet to read or hear any credible source that this tournament has gone well for them specifically. LIV golf is the obvious comparison, but again, how is that actually going? Again not well unless you want to light money on fire to hear people drag you all the time. I am not convinced it is about making money. It is about flaunting weath and supposed power. As long as these guys egos continue to be fellated by all the richie richie posers that attend their parties, the sport washing will continue.

baxus Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 17 hours ago, The Sunland Lord said: Yeah I read that. Also I read that the coach is unwillingly still there, he wanted to resign, but they "persuaded" him to stay for the World Cup, so he'll leave soon after. All kinds of rumours are flying around and I wouldn't be surprised if none of them were actually true. For example, Jovic posted a picture with Gudelj , who allegedly slept with his wife and the two came to blows over it, where they stand in "fighting positions" in a dressing room and wrote "ready for the next one". They are both laughing in the picture so it doesn't seem like there's bad blood between them, but obviously that doesn't have to mean anything. Sure, there were some elections for our FA president and there was some controversy around that, and that's one of the reasons why our coach allegedly wants to resign but I'm not sure there's any truth to that. So far, it looks just another case of "we're just not good enough but can't/won't admit it". The Sunland Lord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Poland really were bad. Hard to imagine France can't beat them but Poland are reasonably strong defensively, so there is always a chance I suppose. I normally like Mexico but they exited because they didn't do much in their first 2 games. Denmark were shocking also. I like attacking teams to win but they fell apart as a team after around 30 minutes yesterday (way before the actual goal) that I couldn't feel too sorry for them. Australia is such an average team though. Embarrassing to lose to them. A good next game for Argentina next. Another team who will play very defensively against them. But Argentina seem to be improving at least. Very rare to see such a one sided game yesterday. England should beat Senegal, who haven't looked great also. The US v the Netherlands looks like the most competitive game so far in the next round. If the US keep up their energy levels, they could pull off a famous victory. The Dutch have done very little so far. Edited December 1, 2022 by Padraig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 So, Qatar, how's the sportswashing going? Has your international reputation been enhanced at all? LOL. Tywin et al. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
