Penno for KSA.

That's the most ridiculous penalty given I've seen in a long time and I'm rooting for Saudi Arabia.

Doodoo penalty.

And it has to be taken again adding to the time...

LMAo

Guess not.

The Danish commentators thought it was ridiculous lol. It's definitely thin, so feels fair he screwed it up.

That second save was extremely good.

Imagine beating Argentina and then bottling it against Poland.

what a couple of stops

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the group ends

Argentina - 6
Mexico - 4
Poland - 4
Saudi Arabia - 3

But we'll see. I mean, they had luck on their side in their victory against Argentina as great as it was.

That's exactly what i was expecting after the first round of games tbh.

They just showed the penalty again, we need to talk more about how good that rebound save is.

I fucking hate supporting Poland. Shocked Szczesny saved it legally tbh, I was thinking as soon as it happened it would be the most typical Poland thing to have fucked up before a massive save and concede on the retake. I still don't think we win this. We will sit back, invite pressure, and concede to something stupid when there's no time left to go on and win.

Szczesny further proving he's man of the match.

How is not 2-0 jfc

that was an oops

Lewandowski finally scores in a world cup!

Well that's ruined the mood a bit.

Just as I thought he was about to go on a roll lol

a draw would be real interesting in the ARG/MEX game

Even then Argentina would only need a win over Poland to go above them on goals scored. They may have lost that first game but they don't even need 2 wins at this point to go through.

I'm expecting Argentina to show up today and turn the table

But that is for later, time for my country. Lots of changes in the starting 11.

Their fans really got into it yesterday.

If France beat Denmark today they're going to the final tbh. Nobody else looks good enough to stop them.

the first tie breaker though is goal difference and Poland is 3 goals ahead of them, and would remain as such with a ARG/MEX draw

Oh yeah brain fart so they'd need a 2-0

they'd need to beat Poland and hope for a draw in the other game or a Mexico win by 1 and a win by 2 for them to go through in second

this group could get real wacky with ARG don't win today

EDIT: oh yes a win by 2 puts them above Poland anyway

that group is honestly WIDE OPEN

We fucking won a game that matters. Wasn't pretty especially in the first half, but I'm relieved as hell. Hoping for a massive Argentina win next, I think that's probably our best chance of getting out of the group.

Well Argentina will be going into that Poland game needing a win unless Mexico beat them today. The ref will probably give them everything just to see Messi in the last 16.

We're in the game to some extend, but no doubt France have been better. We're lacking in the final third as usual and I'm not expecting Cornelius to play much longer.

Also it's nice that Mbabbe never cares to be his best when facing us for whatever reason

Not undeserved but dammit

Schmeichel saves that without the deflection. That's unfortunate for us.

F*** yes

We should have been up 2-1 there, dammit. We're still in this.

I think this game deserves to finish a draw.

Second half has been way better than first half

The madman

That was a weird goal

World Cup Mbappe is so electric

I'd love to see the VAR computer graphic for that because it looked tight.

This was not undeserved but we could have gotten the draw. We should still be favorites to advance, we're way better than Australia.

Shows France can be beaten too because our weakest point by far is our front. Our goal was centre back assist to centre back goal too.

To be fair, two goals for him makes him look better than he was this game.

France look beatable but like i said earlier nothing will stop them steam rolling to the final now.

I respectfully but strongly disagree. Denmark could have won this game with this performance, so don't see why mostly any team they will face until then could not.

They are favorites to get there currently though.

France looked iffy last World Cup in the groups with those Dembele/Tolisso lineups.
Then got a heck of a lot better bringing in Matuidi and Giroud.

They have have the options to shake things up again

true but the timing was funny!

As much as i want Mexico to win this game does anyone here think they'll actually do it?

They're in full voice tonight.

We're gonna see a full-on barney in v !

Bit of Argy-Bargy, no pun intended.
