I'd say so. Poland is basically Burnley but with a world class striker they're ignoring and a keeper who is playing absurd.
Same thought process here. I’ll do a team of the group later maybe

Sucks that KSA scored. I really wanted Mexico to go out on the "you're a bad boy" fair play tiebreaker.

I totally would have busted out the......

What a good day for soccer.

I want the same lineup for Argentina vs Australia. Alvarez, Mac All-star and Enzo deserve to start.

KSA scoring removed that argument though, that took the tiebreaker away. And Poland deserve on Szcesney form but also hoping France take them out
I'm not talking about the tiebreaker, I'm talking about their performance and approach to the game.

Yeah some teams play negative. Hopefully France punishes them. But again them losing on GD is different from them losing on yellow cards. Can’t get as mad about that

Mexico played exactly the same style vs. Argentina, and against us both sides have been playing defensively.
Mexico vs. Argentina was much more competitive than Poland vs. Argentina.

Honestly though, If a team fouls a lot and picks up Yellow cards, many times denying attacks on their goal, it should be a fair tiebreaker when all other options are equal.

But I gotta say, I don't even really care about any of the involved teams, but that 2nd half was incredibly tense. I can still feel the adrenaline. Had all the vibes of a last day of the season relegation battle.

Made some money on the Poland getting past the groups bet, this Mexico team is the worst in my lifetime at a WC, though honestly they probably should have progressed just based on today, they battered the Saudis

Would have loved to see Mexico advance, they deserved it much more than Poland. What an embarassing effort by Poland today, no way shit like that should get rewarded. Say goodbye to the world cup next game Poland, France will crush you.
