That was intense! Glad to stay up for this
Day 11: Australia vs Denmark | Tunisia vs France | Anti-Football vs Vargentina | Saudi Arabia vs Mexico
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
On a serious note, I'm not sure. Knockout games are a whole other matter.
Still hoping for a thumping.
Same. Gutted for them. France vs Mexico would have been a much more entertaining game to watch rather than the very one-sided, boring France vs Poland game to come now. The French couldn’t have asked for an easier R16 opponent.
Bet you Poland beat France.
Mbappe hat trick incoming!

I think group stages are a bit different, you can take a draw or a loss sometimes. Now its knockout, they have to leave everything on the pitch so I really can't see them being so shit that they don't at least try and score.
Fair enough - I didn’t see their first 2 games.
Never known a team over the WC years to be literally hanging on to the arsehairs of their group like Poland have done here tonight.
Poland will come to life and wreck France in the next round. They’ve just been conserving energy so far.
You'd think Poland's fortunes would have been tied to Lewandowski, instead it's fecking scesny who carried them through
Some things remain constant.
"Chesney" with some great saves
Ugh. Poland are such a pointless team. Was hoping for either Saudi Arabia or Mexico to go through.
I love these kind of thrillers 
. Poland deserve nothing but that's football. Mexico played at least one good match (still not enough). France - Poland will be a bloody harvest.

A moment of prayer for all our Polish members here who have probably aged by 10 years for this match. I can't see how this Polish team can get anything against France, they will be destroyed. Best hope is they take a leaf out of the Swiss's playbook or park the bus for 120 minutes and go to penalties.
How the Poland players were celebrating after that 
Hope France thrash them.
Hope France thrash them.
How the feck did Argentina lose to KSA though. They're rubbish.
Group E tomorrow all 4 team could go through the same as this group.
USA goes through and Mexico is going home Wow
Why wouldn't they. It's the second time ever they qualified for the next round. Whinging about the manner of qualifying is exclusive to us Dutchers tyvm.How the Poland players were celebrating after that
Hope France thrash them.
No worries. They mostly acted like thugs against Argentina, and paid the price with the card system.
Expecting a Mexican type effort from Japan tommorrow only for Germany to sneak through anyway..
Well that was crazy
Man I hope Poland go crashing out of the tournament. Such an ugly team. Saudi would have been a much more entertaining team to have in the tournament going forward.
It isn’t. We were even 3rd in 1974 and 1982. It’s the first time since 1986 though.
Although Polonia conceded two goals, I could still say that Szczęsny played well.
This. Seeing all overreactions here and can't stop laughing.
The 74 team was one of the best counter-attacking teams that I've ever seen in my life (I watch them on footballia). Lato's pace was amazing. Tbf, they had a chance to be world-champion.
Half Polish, supports Villa. Matty Cash is that you??
The certainly conserved a pile of energy tonight.
Yeah that's a good point. We have to hope they can raise their game now to make it interesting
Ohw, our commentator said this, sorry
Mexico are OUT....couldn't have happened to a better federation
If Boniek hadn’t been suspended for the semi final, they had a good shot at beating Italy.
Two pens, both saved, talk about goalkeeper stealing the spotlight. He has pulled us through this group and I hope he gets some well deserved praise. I’m really ashamed of these performances but perhaps anti-football has the advantage of giving keepers time to shine. What a night and tournament for him
That was 1982.
Right you are!
