I hate Brazil, but they deserve that goal and they deserve the 3 points this game.
posted by SportsAndLadyArgentina can still move on though with a win right?
posted by AutomatikYes, but other things need to happen. The next game is huge for this group and their chances. If Iceland wins they most likely fucked, but still a slim chance they could go.
Laley seems confident it will be a tie, I think Iceland takes it to Nigeria.

Not confident. But Nigeria has some solid players and should control midfield/possession. Not great finishers, which is why I think draw. 0-0 or 1-1. Could be 1-0 either way though. I’d bet 65% draw, 35% result for someone.
Also thought this was the late game. Just looked and see 0-0 at half. Nigeria dominating possession and midfield, and zero shots lol. Iceland seems to have created some counter chances. Anyone watching? I’m stuck moving into the new house and no cable or internet yet.
Rather boring so far. Iceland just packing it in, not letting them do anything.

Pretty much sums it up.
Fuck.
Probably a penalty coming for Iceland.
Holy shit. Not even close.
ESPN’s gamecast says “sigurdson missed pk. Sigurdson should be disappointed. Lol

Or 2-0 lol

Hey, my game analysis was spot on!
Assuming Croatia doesnt lose to Iceland, Argentina only has to beat Nigeria by 2. Correct?
That’s pretty doable imo.

If Iceland doesn’t win, Argentina only needs a win. Margin won’t matter.
If Iceland wins, they need to win by 2, but also total goals then comes into play as next tiebreak, right?

Derp.
I heard there was a very real scenario in the Portugal/Spain group where the tiebreaker would come down to numbers of red/yellow cards lol

Was just reading that tiebreak. It’s the 7th one but in reality, if the teams in question tied, half the tiebreakers are going to be tied as well lol). And yes, it could happen.
Basically, if they both win their next game by the same amount, that’s what will happen.
No idea why goals against isn’t the 4th tiebreak after goals scored. Could still end up in this situation, but would give another tiebreak that makes sense before fucking cards handed out lol.
Yeah that seems like a terrible tiebreaker haha
In what world is that a foul on Serbia? So terrible.
I fucking hate Mexico..ref missed a blatant foul on a Mexican player that directly leads to their 2nd goal. SMH
Yes and Fox shoving Mexico down your throat isn't helping things. They really want USA rooting for Mexico. It isn't going to happen. It would be like an OSU fan rooting for Michigan,Browns fan rooting for the Steelers,Yankee fan rooting for Red Sox.
Ref really doesn’t want to be the reason the Germans go home.
Terrible no call on that
That was a screw job to the Swedes. Damn..
Germans in trouble
