I'm not even sure if KSA will beat the other teams, I suspect they took their chance today because quite a few of our players were in really bad form.
I think with some severe surgery in the starting lineup Argentina can come back and win the next games but it doesn't matter, the dream of the world cup is over already. You can't come back from such a blow. At least not fully. This is our 1-7.
Iran is not out because Wales and USA are very average teams (my opinion). But... a team advancing from this stage after conceding 6 in the opener would be unprecedented.
if I think that a team like Wales (not wanna mention the non-European teams, as they rightly have their reserved spots) is playing the world Cup and Italy are playing the clown role in some meaningless "friendlies", I just have the unstoppable temptation to throw something big and heavy out of my window...
The play-off draw format was a failure. There should have been 4 different pots, not just 2.
Official Polish NT social media channel made a vlog where they "leaked" the tactical set-up ahead of the Mexico game suggesting it will be 4-5-1. They removed the vlog for a while but put it back online and claim it's the Mexican line-up
should know if that's actually the case? Even though the names are blurred it appears as the 9-striker name isn't long enough to be Lewandowski but the GK name appears to be too long for 'Ochoa' either
the best team with deep solutions in this WC even better than Brazil itself , at least England has a lot of world class right and left backs unlike Brazil that will go with Alex Sandro and Danilo who're producing funny performance in Juventus
Brazilians could say England's center backs produce "funny performance" as well.
It's a persinified Arabic headdress as the mascot. It does look like a ghost but at least it's something recognizeable. I can't recall any of the World Cup mascots since the tri-color figure at Italia 1990
The bird from 98 was pretty iconic, at least when I was a kid. But maybe it's just my nostalgia.
The problem is not the time or the place, it's the f'n calendar being crammed to 200%. It's unbelievable how all the leagues are still going one week before the start of the WC.
There is just no break for the fans to get excited... And everything was enhanced in the last months so they can get as many matches in and not "disrupt" the leagues. They should have ended them last week at least to have a 2 week break before the start, but no.. There are just to many matches and the special ones are getting less and less.
This is entirely on Europe. Most other leagues around the world already wrapped up before this weekend.
The calendar is crammed because UEFA forced their NTs to play all those stupid nations league games in June. Otherwise all european leagues could have started at least a week earlier.
pretty sure he's the tallest player in WC.
hopefully they will lose to Tunisia or Australia too and clear our path

Iran should get points.
Another one that may get a big zero is Cameroon.
