Look at this terrible one-man team.

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:

What's the Fair Play tiebreaker?

Whoever has less yellow cards gets to advance. It's fucking stupid since it's known different officials have different tendencies for issuing cards.

[Krabby]

Wowsers - there's another for Argentina! Making things interesting

[Matt]

Oh apparently it's on fewest yellow cards.

 

Carrot in a box would be better.

Speaking of which, Poland are now ahead of Mexico on the basis of having fewer yellow cards.

Who do these farmers think they are scoring these goals? Football players?

Or 1 red card for Poland and 1 more yellow for Mexico.

Give me chaos!

[Bobfoc]

Another yellow for Poland now.

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

Is that the one where England got relegated?

[Chris2K]

I've just seen the Chavez goal. It might be the best free kick I've seen since that Roberto Carlos one.

No?

[Chris2K]

I hope nobody scores, I could do with "total bookings" replacing "boundaries scored" as the most ludicrous way to decide a sporting result.

 

Well I didn't see Saudi Arabia being the ones to score.

[Krabby]

And there's the dagger - Saudis score one in the Extra time

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

Tunisia didn't qualify, but I do agree. You never know, but I'll be surprised if France and Argentina don't advance to the Quarters. 

[Szumi]

POLSKA!!!! So happy for the players. They barely survived, but they're finally in the Knockouts! 

[entiel]

I low key wanted to see a France - Argentina rematch in the round of 16, because I like big names meeting early in the knock out stages, but alas. Poland going past the group stage in the first time since forever is also nice. Too bad for the Saudis they couldn't keep their momentum from their victory.
