World Cup 2018 | 23rd June Matches | Next Match: Germany vs Sweden, KO 19:00 (BST)

Thing is, if Sweden draw today, both Mexico and Sweden would probably settle for a draw in their last game which would knock the Germans out.

Yep. Won't be official though. Tbh I fancy Sweden to beat Mexico anyway.

 

[Magicpole]

Not if Mexico and Germany win their third games. Only results that send ze Germans home today are Mexico and Sweden wins.

I don’t think the German fixation is healthy. :) The commentators the other night and pundits were practically group masturbating because they didn’t win.

Never ends well against the Germans, apart from the wars, it’s been kinda downhill.

Thing is, if Sweden draw today, both Mexico and Sweden would probably settle for a draw in their last game, not saying they'd fix it but the motivation to win would be lower, which would knock the Germans out.

I hope that happens. Would pay the Germans back for their 'agreement' with Austria.

 

[Magicpole]

Maybe not yet but if you improve a bit you might get there.

No we won’t.

 

[PragueBlue]

No we won’t.

I doubt it too but you can aspire.

No we can’t.

The Germans are the rags of international football.

Aye and it’s not their fault we drink too much and can’t get up early enough in the morning to put the towels down.

Mexicos away bet kit of tournament upto now, closely followed by belgiums earlier,

Games decent enough think korea have a goal in them, but mexico look comfy

 

[aguero93:20]

No they’re not.

Arrogant entitled gits that think they know the only correct way to go about things? Squad full of intensely dislikeable players?

Just what I was thinking.

You got him riled up on the political thread, now he's just gonna argue

 

[Bluearmy]

Everyone’s entitled to an opinion but I disagree to say the least.

And viva Mexico!!!!

And that is the issue, FIFA don't come out and say

The issue is we've all seen them given and not given by subjective referees for years.... So some people don't understand the laws fully, which is understandable given the inconsistencies down the years...

Whoever it is, they’re thick.

“There’s never the same urgency in injury time at the end of the first half as there is in the second.”

No, that’ll be because if you take stupid risks in the 1st half, you risk going 2-0 down. In the 2nd half you either take the risk or lose anyway.

Yep
