Wow… what can I say? I’m not of talking about other teams, but Poland’s been quite a deception.

 

As everyone could see, Mexico doesn’t have a real talent this time, and yet they manage to press Poland back to their area for the last 10 mins.

 

Let’s see what’s happens on second half, but this result doesn’t suit any team. 

I'm still amazed anyone buys any hype for Poland. The Slovakia defeat at Euros should have been the last warning. Michniewicz is a complete park the bus & long ball to Lewandowski moron. That is it. The guy couldn't beat Faroe Islands when he was U-21 coach... twice!

0-0 is perfect result for the fat idiot HC. Zero shots from Poland in the first half. We've got them right where we want them

I have a feeling we have more blocked shots than in your standard ice hockey game  @hckošice

Our wingers are non-existent. Just long ball to Lewandowski or a back pass. Vintage 1970s football

Well, we gave Mexico the ball... no surprise... whenever we have it then we play backwards.

Mexico slowly creating their chances...

Just a reminder has won their opening match of World Cup only once in history:

1938 - lost to Brazil 5-6 after extra time

1974 - beat Argentina 3-2

1978 - 0-0 vs West Germany

1982 - 0-0 vs Italy

1986 - 0-0 vs Morocco

2002 - lost to South Korea 0-2

2006 - lost to Ecuador 0-2

2018 - lost to Senegal 1-2

Two strophes of the Polish anthem! The hosts going the lenghts to make us look good before the actual game...

squad is announced. The leak was correct then, we go 4-5-1 with Bednarek & Swiderski dropped on the bench to make way for Bereszynski as traditional left-back and Kamiński as extra man in midfield. The bus is ready to be parked!!!

why they removed DEN corner ?

One of the Danes clearly pushed the Tunisian in the back so it was changed to a foul.

We only had one goalless match in 2018 WC - the absolutely pitiful France vs Denmark and we have one in 2022 WC already which features Denmark again

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. 

They can easily get a draw with Poland with Michniewicz as HC. This guy has no idea how to play when our opponents give us the ball

It is done! beats 2-1!!! Bad news for Poland

Flying knee KO there...

I'm starting to think Poland might have a problem to even gets a draw vs Saudi Arabia

Perfect predikshn baby

Four games in and I got three perfect scores I assume nobody got the correct result for England vs Iran

@thepharoahJanny Sikazwe was chosen as the main referee for the vs game @intoronto

Let's hope he doesn't have to use the heat stroke excuse again 

Bad result for USA. Now they have to hope Iran somehow doesn't lose to Wales or else England and Wales could play out a tactical Home Nations draw in the final game which would carry Wales into R16.

As usual, centre backs are the weakest link in any American team. You don't make tackles like that in the penalty box. Well done Zimmermann!

Weah!!!

Liberia leads! 

Two quick yellow cards for USA. I've seen players send off for tackles like McKennie made there.

USA with some early heat. Almost an own goal for Wales...

This is weird - Eurosport / Discovery schedules for next week do not show any biathlon.  Surely nobody is going to do anything stupid….

In Poland TVP took over the biathlon World Cup rights from this season but I don't know how it works internationally? Sadly I'll be watching less biathlon since I absolutely can't stand the TVP crew, they will talk shit like the audience is new to the sport when Polish ES had two long-timers (the second replaced by Tomasz Sikora in the last few years) who didn't bother talking BS for newbies and could focus on some BTS gossip & others (or Sikora's countless histories with coaches & other nations). That will ALL be gone from this season

That was the fastest tempo I've ever heard for US anthem. No place for the usual crooning

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

@mrv86 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

Klaassen scores.
