  • Since when did McDonalds start delivering? - most interesting thing about this match so far

    Quite a while to be honest, they deliver through Uber Eats.

    How many free kicks/corners already? I am half paying attention and every time I watch it, seems like it’s a free kick to Mexico.
  • Yesterday someone on BBC called it VOR
    Dowie just said VAIR

    Video Assistant Instant Referee.
  • Dowie talking bollocks as usual.
  • Just catching up with the Belgium game (we're a bit behind in Dorset). Did my ears decieve me did Phil Neville compared the Belgian performance with England's?

    I agree they look a little vulnerable at the back but going forward they should have had 8 or 9 today. Going to be there or thereabouts on what I've seen so far.
  • Interesting that some South Koreans salute during national anthem and some dont.

    The 2 players saluting are on national service.
  • this one's starting to warm up a bit at last
  • This result means that if Germany don't win later, they're 90% out.

    If they somehow manage to draw tonight I wouldn't bet against Sweden/Mexico playing out a draw - it's just too big an opportunity to remove the champs from the equation.

    Exactly what I'm thinking. There's no way Mexico and Sweden don't settle for 1st and 2nd. Sweden to qualify at 6/4 worth a go?

    Can you tell I don't fancy this German team? First tipping Mexico against them, now expecting them to struggle to beat Sweden!

  • Only hope for the Germans is the fact that Sweden were bloody awful against South Korea so if they dont win then Germany fully deserve to crash out

    Wonder what it'll mean for Joachim Low if that happens seeing that Germany have never exited at the Group Stages
  • Germans usually find a way. Would be funny though.
  • question;

    who would you rather crash out at the group stage?

    Argentina or germany?

    100% germany for me. cmon sweden

    My old Grandad gave me one piece of advice when he first took me to a betting shop as a fresh faced 18 year old during the 2002 world cup... never bet against the Germans. I'll pass that on do with it what you will but it's never seen me wrong!

    Edit So fresh faced was I, I even got ID'ed! First and last time ever!

    Germany without question

    Dont see Argentina getting past the 2nd Round

    Sweden are a reasonable team but lack Zlatan.

    If Germany win tonight, then assuming they then beat South Korea, a Sweden win over Mexico will mean all 3 teams have 6 points!
  • Oh that is golden from Dowie "you can only be as good as the quality of your players" no shit sherlock.
  • Great strike but to late for South Korea
  • Another strike that and maybe Son will be let off his National Service!

    And that goal may have just messed up Mexico's Goal Difference if what you say happens

    Would be possible too

    Dont think so, great goal but this is South Korea we are talking about haha.
    out in the group stages think his only chance is to win the Asian Games now
  • Germany to beat Sweden 2-0.

    1.1
    Germany on the brink.

    Can't see Mexico losing to Sweden so they should win the group from here. 2nd at best for the Germans and a match against Brazil awaits in my opinion!

    Wouldnt be so sure of Brazil winning there group.
    Can see Switzerland Scoring 2 or 3 against Costa Rica and Serbia defending well against Brazil.

    And if Serbia can get the lead themselves... Wouldn't put it past them to beat Brazil either

    Said before the World Cup started that the winners would be from Europe and havent seen a side that'll change my mind on that

    England will have to win all three games to top the group now no way we are overturning that goal difference. I'm fine with that though.

    Belgium +6
    England +1

    Could be a blessing in disguise if Brazil win Group E and Germany fail to win Group F.
    Germany are by no means guaranteed to qualify! A real pressure game for them tonight against Sweden who will be hard to beat
    A draw would make it hard for them - they can't catch Mexico with that and I could see Mexico and Sweden playing out a draw to keep them out. A defeat and they are out! Sweden are a decent side.

    Can't believe I have to go to a party tonight - work friend of my wife. Hopefully tv will be on for the men there!
  • not going to argue with a sports scientist... would you say there is nothing suspect in there being such a big relative gap between the top and the rest though?

    It's not that big a gap, the diagram is very misleading in its representation of the differences. It's actually around 6.5% between the top two but the picture make it look about 20%. For the top and bottom the actual is about 20% and the picture shows about 60%.

    Last did it in 1938 according to the commentator. Haven't checked so you could well be right and the commentator an arse.
