I kind of hope Tunisia gets a goal, because that would make the Denmark-Australia game fascinating, both knowing that a draw would eliminate both of them.

 

There you go.

Almost immediately a switch was flipped in Australia-Denmark, and now Australia got a goal in the 60th. Should be a fun last 30 (or 40) minutes.

[soccer10k]

Could really use a Denmark goal here so both have to go for it again.

It'd be wild if Denmark ended up getting one and Tunisia went through.

Australia through in 2nd place, will play Group C winner in the round of 16, then that winner would play the Netherlands-US winner.

France equalizes in the 99th minute just because. Had Australia-Denmark finished in a draw it would have been devastating for Tunisia, but I imagine they already know by then it was over.

Next up, go Poland!

Nope, called back on VAR. Game still going after 10 minutes of added time.

My favorite part of having a good team is reading a ton about them during a fun run. What's everyone reading?

TT’s recs are good. Grant Wahl has also been doing great stuff on his substack.

Not sure how people feel about Men In Blazers, but they've been doing a 6 part series with the actor who plays Coach Beard in Ted Lasso covering the history of the USMNT which I enjoyed. Brought back memories and reminded me of things I forgot or didn't know about at the time. The sub-series is called Go! Go! USA, but its part of the main Men In Blazers podcast.

If nobody scores any goals this afternoon, Poland wins the group, Argentina finishes second, and we get to witness a France-Argentina round of 16 game.

[UMFan83]

This is like stoppage time on Iran/USA but for the entire 90 minutes and 10x more intense.

It’s an interesting dynamic for Argentina. They’re moving on with a pair of ties. They’d obviously love to win to avoid France but if they lose today they’re out.

It’s an interesting dynamic for Argentina. They’re moving on with a pair of ties. They’d obviously love to win to avoid France but they need to avoid defeat or they risk being eliminated.

And in the other game, Mexico has dominated against Saudi Arabia, but needs 4 goals to advance, so if Mexico gets a goal, there's even less incentive for either Poland or Argentina to rock the boat.

Argentina gets on the board. Poland now desperately hopes the Saudi's don't score

[cl smooth]

Argentina with a goal

[UMFan83]

And now Mexico scores (finally). Poland still up +2 on GD

 

If Mexico and Argentina both get another goal and win 2-0, Poland/Mexico tiebreakers will come down to fair play. Mexico has 7 yellows vs. 4 for Poland (no reds)

[UMFan83]

2-0 Mexico. Not looking good for Poland but they are still up +1 in GD and win the tiebreaker unless Mexico scores 3

[Transmogrified Tiger]

if we can't get the Poland/Australia knockout game, can we at least not have Mexico fluke their way into the knockouts for a second straight WC

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Poland have a multiple card lead on Mexico in fair play points, so Mexico does need that 3rd goal even if Argentina scores again to even up GD. It also means that Mexico needs 2 if Poland and Argentina trade goals.
