FIFA World Cup 2022

It's a possible last World Cup match for both Messi and Lewandowski tonight.

Ben White has been sent home for personal reasons.

This was what intrigued me to watch this game. Felt it was only right given the two great talents that they are to the game and their legacy to enjoy what could be their last time at a World Cup.

One point for Denmark in that group will disappoint them massively. Some people had them down as dark horses for this competition.

Wasn't this largely based on them doing well in a qualifying group where Scotland got 23 points?

Hopefully he called Southgate a cunt

Softest fucking penalty

[Baddar]

That is such a shit call, and I love Messi.

What a save!

[Bobfoc]

Nice save

[Szumi]

POLSKA!!! 

[GoGo Yubari]

Ball don't lie I guess. I want Argentina to win but I don't buy that as a penalty at all.

Mark Clattenburg broke down the rule there and it is a penalty, but a rule that is very much owed a re-interpretation.

In any case excellent save by Golden Glove Szczesny.

Forgot how good of a keeper Szczesny is. Some nice saves from him.

It would have been mad just a few years ago to think that one of Argentina's most influential players at a World Cup would be playing for Brighton.

[gunnar hendershow]

That really should've been saved but he certainly can't be faulted given everything else he has done in goal.

I think it's more mental that his name is MacAlister

So for Mexico to advance, they really need to hold on to the lead and for either Argentina to kick the stuffing out of Poland or Poland come back and win?

Yes. Or draw and score a few more vs the Saudis.

[Bobfoc]

I hope Poland get at least a point from this. France v Argentina is a more interesting second round match than Tunisia v Argentina.

Well there's another one!

[gunnar hendershow]

This could come down to the fair play tiebreaker, which I think is stupid. May I propose that Mexico & Poland meet tomorrow to do the following:

One more goal for them will do it. One for Argentina makes them perfectly tied with Poland and given they drew to Poland, I'm not entirely sure what that means... I can only assume the two managers have to play carrot in a box
