The Group of Death tomorrow will be exciting with all 4 teams who can still qualify to the next round. I completely forgot Germany is only on 1 point and they actually need to beat Costa Rica to qualify. Will be funny if history repeat itself and Costa Rica does a South Korea like 4 years ago and beat Germany on the final day to knock them out.

You'd think Poland's fortunes would have been tied to Lewandowski, instead it's fecking scesny who carried them through
Hard to rely on lewandowski when you’ve got no service what so ever to him. No matter how good a striker you are if you haven’t got players around you to create then you’re screwed unless your messi and can create chances on your own.

Yep, so many groups still in the balance on final matchday.

Not sure how that can be replicated with 3 team groups from next World cup.
Well, it's going to be even more like this. Theoretically, with three team groups of which two are going through, every single game of last round will have teams who at least in theory have a chance od progressing.

Do we get France in the quarters if we beat Senegal and they beat Poland?

France were clearly desperate to try and come 2nd in this group in order to try and avoid England in the last 8.

If someone deserves more places then it is Europe. Overall, Europe teams always have best results on WC
The two are not mutually exclusive.

If you had more teams they would add nothing to the best results Europe gets, you would just add shite. I'd much rather have Nigeria, Egypt or China for that matter.

That contributes to developing the region at least, Europe already has as much organisation and opportunities for teams to improve as you could hope for.

Glad for Argentina. What's the point with Poland enough, an utterly bland team, but Mexico is even worse.

Messi didn't show up tonight, but Argentina won anyways. It's like what happened in the American Cup in 2021, Messi didn't show up in the Final but Argentina won thanks to Di Maria.

In the important games Messi never shows up, and he has to be saved by his teammates, always the same.

Still absolutely buzzing. 2 wins from 3 in that group when no-one gave us a chance.
I looked at your squad and thought it was one of the weakest at the World Cup. Shows what I know :lol:

Yeah this is probably the best. While we like to think Ukraine and Italy would have been better Denmark and Poland, it really is better if Asia and Africa could develop more and potentially we see a WC champ outside Europe and South America.
