Good to see France and Denmark losing. Things look ok for Brasil.
France deserved to lose. I can celebrate that one. These stupid bitches are poisoning our youth. ![]()
argentina recovered and easily moves to the next round with a 2-0 vs poland where they meet poor australia (but after that the dutch will beat them unless those silly americans humiliate us first lol)
messi was kind enough to miss a penalty so poland still moves on as well
the polish wont have much chance against the french though so it looks like it will be england vs france in that quarter final, which are both easy opponents for the netherlands…
wow such an easy road to the final! ( we will just forget about brasil) maybe our silly arrogant coach is right and this could be our year ![]()
ah the poor belgians are out while they played their best game of the tourney but they could only manage a 0-0 vs strong croatia
morocco beat canada 2-1 and surprisingly ends up on top of that group! ![]()
Canada lost all three games. We got a couple of goals. Better than last time. lol.
EDIT: I just watched the highlights. We didn’t even score our goal. The other team did an own-goal. Two world cups in 40 years, no wins, one goal. We are pretty bad. lol.
This is Al Jazeera’s artificial intelligence system’s prediction. Looks good to me, although I think Germany might beat Portugal and France and lose to Brasil in the final.
Germany needs help to get to the knockout. They are off to a good start. If Japan can draw Spain, Germany is done. Of course, spain is ahead lol. Spain should be looking to draw so they can win group and kick Germany out.
Edit. A draw does not guarantee spain wins group.
lol still 35 mins left to play but japan is now 2-1 ahead… and costa rica - germany 1-1 !!! insanity! hehehe
edit: costa ricaaaaaa 2-1 lololol if it stays this score both spain and germany go out
and here comes germany back 2-2, now spain and japan go through lol
and 3-2 for germany… but that doesnt help them… they need spain to score
Dear God. lol.
this is wonderful stuffl 4-2 germany but it doesnt matter if spain doesnt score they are out lol
I tuned in. I should be working but I can watch these last 6 min.
Totally rudiculous that goal differential is bigger tiebreaker than head to head.
Yay!
lolol japan head of the group and spain number 2! what a tourney ![]()
I just assumed if japan and Germany finished with 4 pts, japan would go through since they beat Germany. Then the announcer said that was not the case, lol. That was more nerve-wracking than it should have been.
Brilliant! I really thought Germany might be dangerous this year but it wasn’t to be.
I wonder if the players think the tiebreaker rules order is as stupid as I do. If there is somehow 3 way tie for 2nd, then goal diff works.
I don’t even understand the rules and don’t care enough to look them up. France is the country for Brasil to fear imo but they lost to Tunisia so maybe they’re not as strong as I’m thinking. Argentina also hasn’t looked strong. Brasil is the only top team that is going as expected right now.
This should be the order…
- Head to head
- Goal differential
- Alphabetical order
- Points
- Wins
- Goal differential
One win (3 pts) is better than three draws (3 pts) imo.
