Will the last Qatar player left turn out the lights.


The two with red cards might as well go warm up the jet. Their World Cup is done.

With third place teams going through there is still a chance Qatar could keep playing.

yes but how deep is the quality on their 26 man roster? I assume they're missing two of their better players for the final group stage match

9 minutes of extra time

So unnecessary. Its not a contest and hasn't been. End it and get the **** out

but GD matter and with all the cards and injuries and goals, 9 mins might actually be conservative

True but not that much unless they tie the swiss.

Obviously will depend on what the other groups do but 4 points could potentially be enough to make the round of 32.

I have a feeling there's going to be a ton of teams with four points. It will come down to goal differential for the next tiebreaker so Qatar is probably hosed.

9 probably wasn't close to real but it was enough to be real. But he didn't need to give the corner or goal kick after that. Just blow it and get the hell out of there.

I don't think the referee's stop watch considers possible future results for Switzerland

Honestly with 5 groups that have teams were the 3rd place has 0 points would not be shocked if 3 points gets out of a group.

Yeah I'd say 4 points and a positive or even goal differential should be almost certain to go through.

4 points is going through. Someone will make it with 2 or 3. The winner of BH v Qatar will go on.

The last three times the tournament took the best 2/3 of the third places it was these teams advancing;

1986 - 2 three point teams and 2 two point teams

1990- four three point teams

1994 - all were four point teams but none got left out.

Canada is a near 100 percent in, and with all the ties so far (which take a point out of the group with each one), the US could lose its next two by a goal, and with our +1 GD we would probably be 70 percent to get through.
