    So, are Poland so lacklustre because they know that by not going in for tackles & therefore not getting booked could see them through..?

    Stupid rule if so.

    Szczęsny has every right to go for that ball. I can't see how that is a penalty?
    That's outrageous that decision

    Jeez, that's dreadful. Anyone but Messi and he doesn't give that. 
    Not having that.

    Absolute bobbins decision.

    Justice served 
    Remember, "clear and obvious" chaps, clear and obvious!

    Either we've all got shit in our eyes or the VAR system is an absolute crock of shit. I know where my money is.
  • Argentina and France both getting 'easy' last 16 games.

    No, as they were dismal at 0-0 when they were still top of the group

    And could have been so different. Both teams could have finished 2nd in their group.....and Argentina still could if Poland decided to attack.

    Surprised Argentina are going for it so much when they could knock Mexico out by not scoring/conceding.

    There's only one thing "clear and obvious" and that's VAR is not doing what it's claimed to be doing i.e. eliminating and correcting howlers from the refs/linos.
  • Just caught up with the second Mexico goal, the free kick. Dear God.
  • Argentina could have 5 or 6 tonight

    Poland are doing their best to lose. They're certainly not trying to win or draw it. I hope they go out on GD.

    Oh but "VAR isn't the problem" ..... apparently!

    Not something you'd expect to see in BBC's football coverage. That sort of thing is Channel 4 or 5 territory.

    Poland 0-2 FT

    Can Mexico find a goal?
  • Argentina have won 2-0, nice and simple for Mexico with 4mins left now

    Poland are through, Saudis have scored

  • Saudi get a goal back.

    If they were playing Ipswich they'd still have time to win it and qualify themselves.

    Goal for Saudi! 1-2

    But that doesn't kill Mexico, if they score, they still progress on goals scored.

     Mexico always needed a goal, whether Saudi scored or not

    Yep. I had just heard Ian Darke on commentary here say that the Saudi goal kills Mexico's chances so wanted to post here that that wasn't the case, just in case anyone else was confused.

    Their chance is over now though. Mexico are out. 2-1 FT

    Shame... Poland didnt deserve to advance!!

    Hate the fact too that the KO rounds mostly end up being Europe vs South America

    Great job Australia | United States | Senegal to avoid that so far

    Japan | Morocco | Ghana are the likely ones to join them

    Poland very lucky to go through, but at least it wasn't on the Yellow cards.
