Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

I’m pretty sure just a win and SA not winning sees us through, save a crazy scoreline against Benin.

2nd needs a perfect storm

Possibly. (Assuming South Africa draws or loses)

Nigeria wins 1-0 or by 2+ goals, Nigeria wins group
Nigeria wins 2-1, tiebreaker goes to yellow cards, which I have no idea who has what
Nigeria wins 3-2 (or higher), Benin wins group

Nah, it was the 2 draws against Zimbabwe that killed them. Win both those games, and they are top of the group right now.

It’s the 2nd draw that’s even more painful. Just slack defending cost us two points. Ekong just lacks that urgency to get rid of danger. He did again today…
