    A free kick by Poland that was straight out of Sparrows Lane.

    It looks unusual because it doesn't happen often, there's no frame of reference to compare it to. That's partly why it doesn't *feel* like a penalty, but as mentioned, if the 'keeper had arrived late with a foot instead, it's a clear penalty. Why does the body part make a difference? By the current rules, it doesn't.
    Is the head not also going towards the hand, all be it more slowly and travelling less far? Therefore both players were attempting to play the ball and in a contact sport like football should not be a foul in my view. If the laws of the game don’t reflect that surely the laws should be changed to reflect the game as people who play it and watch it see it. Only referees think that is a pen, not players or fans.

    Argentina aren't great, but Poland deserve to lose as they've been awful.

    Fifa don't want the big nations going out early. Corrupt .

    Time for Poland to start playing, Saudi Arabia goal would be a disaster

    That goal means both Mexico and Saudis would be out if they play out a 0-0. Should make it an end-to-end game.

    1-0 Mexico!

    Surely if Poland lose this 4-0 then Saudi would go into 2nd on Goal Difference, even with their draw?

    Poland have been dismal. They deserve to go out on this performance, but look like scraping through now.

    If Argentina get another here, Poland and Mexico would both have 4 points, 0 goal difference, 2 goals scored, 0-0 head-to-head. We could be looking at fair play records.

    Mexican fans might not be sending Messi many Christmas cards as a result of that penalty miss

    Surely it'll go to extra time? @ForeverAddickted should be able to confirm it ...

    Who would have guessed a week ago after they beat Argentina, that the Saudis would finish 4th in their group

    Dont laugh... But if Poland get one more booking, 2nd place will be decided on lots

    Poland (1) 0-0 Mexico (2)
    Poland (3) 2-0 Saudi Arabia
    Argentina 2-0 Mexico (2)
    Poland (0) 0-1 Argentina
    Saudi Arabia 0-2 Mexico (1)

    I count 4 yellows for Poland and 7 for Mexico.

    Mexico: 2 v Poland, 4 v Argentina, 1 v Saudi
    Poland: 1 v Mexico, 3 v Saudi, 0 v Argentina

    If Argentina score again and Mexico win 2-0 then Mexico & Poland are exactly equal on Points, Goal Difference and Head to Head so presumably it then goes down to Yellow Cards?

    Cheers Callum, missed the two sub bookings for Mexico in that Argentina game

    Still a bit too tight though, if Poland lose their heads

    If Poland do go through they can thank Szczesny for that

    Alvarez with a great chance... Bet if his name was Smith he'd have scored
