I do not have high hopes for El Tri.

I always expect Poland to end up in 3rd in the group because I feel like they do in every tournament that play

They've had a some really solid teams just underperform and Mexico seems to always get in the round of 16.

Argentina wins. Mexico 2nd

I drew the Poles in the family World Cup pool. Need a good result to keep up with the BIL's fortunate Germany draw.

Even more reason to root against Mexico.

Mexico has looked AWFUL in recent games. I don't know a single one of my Mexican friends that is optimistic in their chances. They lost their friendly to Sweden yesterday as well. I caught the second half of the Poland friendly yesterday as well and they didn't look great, but they weren't playing Lewandowski either. This group comes down to Match Day 1 between Mexico and Poland. Argentina first and Poland second

Argentina loves being offsides

4 goals offsides so far, I believe. 2 from the VAR. Saudi Arabia living on the edge of all edges. Crazy…soul crushing if you're Argentina.

Saudi Arabia appears to prefer doing the thing they are best at (high defensive line) even if doing so is tactically unsound given their opponent.

I respect it.

Nice 3 roles overs and his face of agony. I think they go to acting class.

Don't get me wrong. I love soccer and the WC. Just can't stand some of the flopping.

I don't know if I'm super impressed or completely unimpressed by the tactic, heh heh.

Definitely respect it at the same time. It takes some balls to play like this.

Better to be lucky than good?!

I'll also say Saudi Arabia isn't terrible in the midfield with the ball.

And that little left back shuts down the passing lanes decently well

If you're the Saudis, if you go down 2-0 do you sit back to try to protect GD or do you try to score? Seems like the next Argentina goal could open the flood gates
