  • Very good game between Mexico and Sweden. Reckon there's a goal coming one way or the other.

    Your weak... I'd have taken great pleasure ;)
  • Neuer almost cocked that up.

    Great reaction save to recover though
  • i'll just be glad when the group games are over now so that I can go back to properly watching one game at a time!

  • Germany look very poor. Slow and lacking in ideas.

    Sweden should be ahead, not sure why he dangled a high foot rather than throwing himself for the diving header.
  • Who goes through out of Germany and Sweden if both games end 0-0?
  • edited June 2018
    When did this silly tapping it across the 18 yard box for 20 minutes without putting a cross in become a thing? Spain, France and now Germany doing it.

    Sweden because of Germany's red card.

    No wait it would be Germany because they beat Sweden....

    thought I heard head to head games don't count

  • The ranking of each team in each group stage is determined as follows:

    1. Points obtained in all group matches;
    2. Goal difference in all group matches;
    3. Number of goals scored in all group matches;
    4. Points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
    5. Goal difference in the matches played between the teams in question;
    6. Number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;
    7. Fair play points in all group matches (only one of these deductions shall be applied to a player in a single match):
    8. Drawing of lots by FIFA

    Germany would go through ahead of Sweden by the fourth tie breaker.

    They do count, after points, goal difference and goals scored but before fair play record.
  • Korea could get something here

  • Wonder when the lots would take place (i.e. thinking more for England v Belgium if we got the sole booking in a draw) - Would they do it there and then at the end of the game or the following day for example
  • Who goes through out of Germany and Sweden if both games end 0-0?

    Sweden because of Germany's red card.

    not according to this:


    1. Greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned
    2. Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned
    3. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned
    Failing that...
    4. Greater number of points obtained in the fair play conduct of the teams based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches (read the full explanation here)
    And finally...
    5. Drawing of lots by the Fifa organising committee


  • Where did you get that info from @LargeAddick ?

    They've only lost by a single goal in their last two games so will certainly be tough to break down
  • edited June 2018
    Before the matches started the Official World Cup website had Germany ahead of Sweden in the table so if both games are 0-0 Germany would finish ahead of Sweden

    The ranking of each team in the same group is determined on a two-step approach:

    First step: Pursuant to the criteria listed in art. 32 (5) lit. a) to c) of the Competition Regulations.

    - greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
    - goal difference in all group matches;
    - greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.

    Second step: If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the first step (see example in Table 1), their ranking will be determined by applying to the group matches between the teams concerned the criteria listed in art. 32 (5) lit. d) to h) in the order of their listing.

    - greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
    - goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
    - greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
    - greater number of points obtained in the fair play conduct of the teams based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches;
    - drawing of lots by the FIFA.
  • I dont understand why this is all over social media.

    They never once said the year 2018.

    So every World Cup when both Portugual and Mexico could neet in the final is this gonna come up until the actually get there
  • After going so long without 0-0s, now we'll get a glut of them!
