For sure. But on the same token I’m glad the KSA goal meant it didn’t come down to that

So by that logic Mexico didn’t deserve it either.
Mexico probably advance if they didn’t try to out 0-0 Poland match day 1

This is a bad faith argument as the only reason KSA was able to score was due to Mexico pressing because of that tiebreaker

That’s not my argument. Nothing ulterior here; quite literally I am saying that I am happy that we don’t have to hear the arguments about yellow cards as a tiebreaker because KSA took it out of the equation

Nope, Mexico was better against Argentina and KSA than Poland was and was the better team against Poland as well.

Survive your group, all that matters. People posting that how your look or the effort you give should matter are just misguided. Teams play to situation with clear rules on how to advance.
If some of you are so certain France will destroy Poland why aren't you betting every single cent you have on that happening? Talk is cheap on a posting site, let's see some real conviction.

Btw if earlier anyone bet the Argentina-Mexico win parlay they would have made a killing. Can't bet on the next games so I have the real conviction of posting here and that's all you guys get.
Maybe that's all that matters for unambitious teams like Poland. They were on the precipice of being eliminated and still didn't try to get a goal that would have helped them immensely, instead they relied on Argentina being kind and hoped Mexico didn't win by a bigger margin. Yet somehow you're touchy that it wasn't well-received by neutrals.

Messi and Lewa had a nice long chat at the end... just saying.
Enzo firmly booked his place I think. Scaloni trusted him in an elimination game and it proved wonders. He will never go back now. Alexis as well. I thought Cuti struggled to handle Lewa's strength but did well other otherwise. Good that he got the 90 minutes, he should get better as he progresses in the tournament. Otamendi again proves he's immense for the team no matter how much I rate Lisandro Otamendi is undroppable until he slips for the NT.
Alvarez should and could've done better on a lot of his chances but life of a striker. I dont know what Scaloni will do on Saturday.
Say what you will about Poland's tactics but this isn't a minnow European side, Argentina just man handled them. They're getting better every game. and some want more Euro teams....

I have a hard time making a bottom 3 team list of this tournament without Poland in it.

They tied Mexico and beat Saudi Arabia.
Qatar, Saudi and Iran... pretty easy.
There others that are worse as well.

It's like we said when the Euros and Copa America were on at the same time last summer. You notice some of these European teams play and they're extremely unambitious while teams from elsewhere may not be as talented but they play with a whole lot more ambition. But in this tournament it appears that middle tier European teams are playing more negatively and getting ruthlessly punished for it by teams from everywhere else in the world (not just SA).
What a pathetic, embarrassing effort by us and I am not even blaming the players, but that rubbish manager. Argentina is absolutely there for the taking and he decides that the team should play not to lose compared to playing to win the game. Any club or nation that plays not to lose ALWAYS effin' loses. Now we get to play France because of the shear incompetence of the manager. I am fuming.

While it turned out not to be relevant to the outcome of the game I am still bewildered that Messi was awarded a penalty.

Iran, Qatar and Wales three worst
Denmark, Poland and Uruguay were the three that did the least with their talent.
Belgium belongs in a category of their own
