**The World Cup 2018 Official Thread**

They're playing the right way. Belgium is probably the most outstanding looking side, only with a trained eye can you see the issues.

A dominant, tactically sound midfield ain't going anywhere. I think France is winning this WC bevbeca they're the only team that has such a heavy supply of talent to just throw at them and a midfielder in Pogba who can play the game of his life and go to war with man like Modric.

If France had a better manager than Deschamps they'd be my favorite too.

I'll wait till Croatia and Belgium face a challenge in the knockout stage before 100% believing in them. It's a whole new tourney once the round of 16 begin.

Let me comfort those Swedish women.

heartbreaking loss for sweden.

swedish women let me comfort you

Nah they just got fukked by some Germans

Germany looking like a blonder Italy without Ozil

 

[dtownreppin214]

so they were being cheap about gasoline.

i hope all these widows got broke off.

 

[BlackBall]

that win will galvanize Germany i think, switched them on

No team has better midfielders. That's the whole point.

Croatia has the best midfield..

Nah they've no legs, imagine them against Spain or Germany when they start motoring though Germany have no legs either.

If you’re Mexico, you want Serbia. You want nothing to do with Switzerland or Brazil.

Mexico needs to top their group. All they need is a draw.

I'd love to see Brazil v Germany Round of 16

Nah they've no legs, imagine them against Spain or Germany when they start motoring though Germany have no legs either.

And Spain have no legs either. You realize Rakitic is the only live body in the Barca mid and Modric is a damn robot. Plus Brozovic behind them both running on diesel.

There is no midfield putting a better three man unit out there.

All three are hard working, precise, play mistake free, and hold their shape expertly. No one is playing through the middle against them aside from maybe Pogba on a career defining day. That's the unit right there

GROUP F

- Mexico need a point vs. Sweden to go through and top the group.
- Sweden must better Germany's result to guarantee qualifying. If they beat Mexico and Germany fail to win, Sweden will top the group.
- Germany must better Sweden's result to guarantee qualifying.
- If both Germany and Sweden draw, the team in the higher-scoring game will finish second. If both draws are the same scoreline, Germany finish second on head to head.
- South Korea must beat Germany and hope Sweden lose to Mexico to have a chance of qualifying.

THREE-WAY TIE FOR FIRST AND SECOND
- If Sweden and Germany win they will finish level on six points with Mexico, and it will first come down to goal difference.
- Sweden are through in all scenarios. Germany are through in all but two scenarios, which means Mexico are most likely to be eliminated.
- If Sweden win by two or more goals then Germany are guaranteed to qualify with any win (Mexico out)
- If Germany win by two or more goals then Sweden are through with any win (Mexico out)
- If both Germany and Sweden win by two goals they are both through (Mexico out)
- If both Germany and Sweden win 1-0 the three teams would have identical records and it would go to head-to-head mini-league, and this would see Germany and Sweden through on goals scored (with Germany top on direct head to head with Sweden) and Mexico out.
- If both Germany and Sweden win 2-1 (or any higher one-goal identical margin of victory) then Sweden would win the group, Mexico in second and Germany third on head to head goals scored
- The only other way Mexico can go through, at the expense of Germany, if is both games are won by one goal, but Mexico's defeat against Sweden is a higher-scoring game.
- If Sweden win by one goal, and Germany win by one goal but in a high-scoring game, Germany win the group with Sweden in second and Mexico out

THREE-WAY TIE FOR SECOND
- If South Korea win and Sweden lose there will be a three-way tie for second on three points for Germany, Sweden and South Korea. It will first come down to goal difference.
- If South Korea beat Germany by two goals they are guaranteed to finish second
- If South Korea beat Germany 1-0 and Sweden lose 1-0 to Mexico, Germany would be second on direct head to head against Sweden with South Korea bottom
- If South Korea beat Germany by a higher-scoring one-goal margin than Sweden lose to Mexico, then South Korea would finish second on direct head to head against Germany with Sweden bottom
- If Sweden lose by more than one goal they cannot qualify, and South Korea would therefore finish second with any victory

they dispatched Spain in Euro too, while Spain was playing with the same midfield they're playing now. Inieasta is even than last time.
