[the phantom menace]

That was an interesting read... so basically we're through to teh round of 16 with either a win or a draw against Denmark, but if Tunisia beat France then only a win against Denmark will get us through?

Exactly right.

It's pretty much expected that France will beat Tunisia (unless they rest key personnel), so if we draw with Denmark (or beat them), we are through.

Which would be awesome, but also weird - our squad really isn't that strong, imo.

 

[the phantom menace]

Yes, very weird to think we could finish in the final 16 this time, if Denmark have an off day and we blag a lucky draw.

Wow, Canada f**ks us in the Davis Cup winning both singles in straight sets, and then immediately after scores a goal on Croatia after just 68 seconds!

Croatia 4-1

Some insane games overnight

Serbia leading 3-1 in the second half , drew with Cameroon 3-3

Spain had 65% of the ball and led 1-0 up to the 83rd min

Ghana 3-2 over South Korea

Well done Arnie getting these lads up.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don't get why Tunisia would've gone through if we only drew with Danmark.

[King-Gutho94]

It was a miracle we even got to the World Cup.

Let alone get through the Group.

 

[Gronk]

It looks like a shank, but f**k yeah anyway.

 

[Twizzle]

a pretty decent goal from Matthew Leike beating 2 defenders like that

 

[Gary Gutful]

A shank? That was a great f**king goal!

 

[84 Baby]

Matthew Leckie you’re always late to react, barely control the ball and struggle to complete a pass

Outside of Messi who else do Argentina have that is World Class.
