Lol.
But seriously. Any chance for them to advance?

Mexico has to win the next match and there needs to be a winner in the Arg- Poland game. Then it'll be down to GD.

Wait I'm wrong.
Their best scenario is Mexico wins and Argentina loses.

Any other scenario requires Mexico winning and goal
differential.

Or KSA wins which is the scenario that drops a bomb in this group.

That's a very realistic possibility.

Knowing Mexico's history of lucking their way out of weak groups in the World Cup, this is the outcome I now expect…

For the sake of the tournament, I'd like to see Argentina advance to have Messi get his shot at a title. And KSA for the absolute mayhem that they bring. Their fans are almost as nuts as MBS.

Mexico is headed for last place not only in their own group, but the entire tournament!

That's too bad…




Nope Qataris have last on lock.


Once again Costa Rica is -7 with Japan and Germany upcoming

Mexico will finish in El Tri place to last


Ticos going to steal a point. I feel it.



I didn't think they would steal a whole 3.

If it helps Ohio State is losing by 22

Poolside at a bar in Cancun, a fan came over here fuming about that game. Then he saw the Mexico score. Lol. Poor guy. I hate when all my teams embarrass themselves on the same day.

I'm probably a bad person, but I want to see a Saudi win and an ugly draw.

for those wondering, since I just googled it, here are the scenarios:

Poland
  • Win vs. ARG: A win would see POL claim first place in Group C.
  • Draw vs. ARG: POL advance. POL can win the group with a draw if KSA fails to win vs. MEX. If KSA win, POL drop to 2nd.
  • Lose vs. ARG: POL can qualify if MEX win or KSA-MEX draw based on tiebreakers with KSA or MEX. POL are eliminated with a KSA win.

Argentina
  • Win vs. POL: ARG qualify. Finish 1st if KSA lose or draw. Tiebreakers are needed if KSA win.
  • Draw vs. POL: ARG eliminated with KSA win. ARG qualify with KSA-MEX draw. If MEX win, then tiebreakers will determine the qualifier.
  • Lose vs. POL: ARG eliminated.
Saudi Arabia
  • Win vs. MEX: KSA qualify to Round of 16. If tied on points for 1st place with ARG, tiebreakers will be needed.
  • Draw vs. MEX: KSA advance if POL beats ARG. KSA are eliminated if ARG-POL draw (goal difference). If POL lose, tiebreakers will be needed.
  • Lose vs. MEX: KSA eliminated.

Mexico
  • Win vs. KSA: MEX have to win to qualify and then wait on the other match result:
    -- An ARG-POL draw or ARG win means tiebreakers come into play with ARG (if ARG-POL draw) or POL (if ARG win). However, a MEX win by four goals in this case would guarantee a +2 goal difference, allowing MEX to win the tiebreakers against both ARG (+1) and POL (+1 at best) in either case.
    -- If POL win, then MEX qualify automatically with win of their own
  • Draw or Lose vs. KSA: MEX eliminated.

Makes for an interesting afternoon since everyone playing is in a "lose and you're going home" situation.

for my original prediction to come true, I think I should be rooting for two draws this afternoon. That would send Don't Cry For Me Argentina and the fighting Lewandowski's through and send KSA and and el tri home.

Would be pretty funny to have the US as the only CONCACAAF country make it to the Round of 16

Alvarez lucky he didn't get a 2nd yellow for putting his hands on the ref there. Ref looked pissed when he turned around. I know it was just a tap on the shoulder, but after just getting a yellow for a pretty aggressive tackle, that was not super smart.

Alvarez arguing it was his first foul and shouldn't get a card. I don't think that's how it works.

Good to see Michael Oliver reffing in the World Cup. One of a handful of guys I can stand.
