Predictions for Argentina Mexico today?

Will they bounce back and regain the contender status or will Mexico put another nail in the coffin for the chances of the team?

After how shit Australia were in qualifying I thought we would go through this tournament losing all three group matches and failing to score.

Maybe the Asian qualifying is just tougher than I gave it credit for. Big result!

Denmark in big trouble in that group now, good chance for Aussies to get out of it! shootout with Denmark, unless they beat France tonight.

That means you'll prolly advance if you tie denmark. A challenge, but not insurmountable.

Denmark is in a strange but good spot. They now know that a draw is as good as a loss against France. Because either result will require them to win against Australia. So the result of Tunisia-Australia is 'good' in the sense that they have more clarity on what needs to be done in the next two matches. If they win against France, then they hold the advantage going against Australia and only need a draw.

Of course, this knowledge comes with greater pressure.

Should the Denmark coach tweak their tactics to be more aggressive and play for the win against France? Logically, they should, as they have little to lose by losing. But maybe it's tough to make such a tactical switch at such late stage. Will be interesting to see how Denmark sets up for the game later.

(All this calculation is based on the assumption Tunisia will not win against France and catch up on Australia and Denmark. Which is a fair assumption to make, no offence to valiant Tunisia.)

At this rate, Poland may not have 11 players by the time the game ends... 3 yellows before 20 min mark?

OK, it's pretty obvious now. Saudi Arabia spent some money.

The most ridiculous penalty I've seen in years.

Thankfully they missed it.

Now Poland has to figure out who to substitute that has a yellow.

His performance with Manchester United can be questioned, but Harry Maguire today showed us that he transforms when he puts on the England shirt. The English central defender delivered a great game against the United States, one of the best that has been seen in recent years. Maguire registered 8 clearances, completed 8 long balls, won 5 duels, accurate 88% of passes and even dared to try his luck in the attack of the 'Three Lions'. He is criticized when he has a bad game, but you also have to recognize when he has a good one. MAGUIRE SHUTTING MOUTHS. 🏴

If we are following these criteria, every contact in the penalty box should be a penalty.
This was absolutely not a penalty.

lol Poland plays like a character who dumped all their free skill points in Luck or crit chance. Bad defence, awful offence and still much closer to victory than way more competent Arabia (and earlier Mexico).
