[/tweet] Had Mexico won 3-1, assuming the other score was the same, they would have moved on. However, if that wasn't bad enough... [tweet]
[/tweet] Poland had no business only losing that game 2-0.
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.
I had the same thoughts about a potential round of 16 game. Finishing 2nd isn’t some death sentence this year where you have to play someone like France or Spain. It’s a winnable game in the next round.
We could really benefit from Wales taking the lead against England. There's no realistic scenario where Iran advances with a draw and a Wales win so Wales going ahead would put pressure on Iran to then try and win the game. I know this wouldn't happen if Wales scored in say the 10th minute. But if Wales is ahead at half, Iran's got to factor that in to their style of play.
Unless Japan beats Spain, right? Then Spain and Germany would be on 4 and Spain probably has the GD. Unlikely but with the way this Cup is going, I'm not ruling anything out.
