Day 7: Tunisia vs Australia | Poland vs Saudi Arabia | France vs Denmark | Argentina vs Mexico

If Argentina draws Mexico tonight, then the last round , Argentina defeats Poland, and Mexico and KSA draw then every team apart from Mexico will have 4 points.

Goes down to goal difference. Saudi losing 0-2 today ruins their chances, because if Poland lose by 1, Poland go through with +1 GD. If Poland lose by 2 then Argentina go through with +1 GD.
 
That should be a red, Mbappé was gone, none of the defenders could have caught him.
 
Very close to a red this, no way the other defenders catch him with that pace
 
Are you allowed to send someone off because you know Mbappe is the fastest man on the planet?
 
France have Antoine Griezmann in the hole, we have Mason Mount.
 
The thing is, despite the huge amount of talent that we produce in France, we dont have any good RBs at the moment. Only possible options would have been Mukiele (but he barely plays at PSG and is not very good), Malo Gusto but he hasnt been developing as expected, or he could have taken a punt on Soppy but other than that there's really no one.
Never mind a starting, just a specialized one to keep on the bench. There is an empty 26th squad option not filled
 
Ref can't be expected to give cards depending on who is fouled, but there's not a chance those defenders catch Mbappe if he's not hauled down.
 
Dembele has really exploded as a player this season.

Different player to Sancho, but Sancho's obviously got the potential to step up too and many rated him higher than Dembele. Hope we see it soon for us.
 
Whenever I see Griezmann play for France I'm really confused why he performs so poorly for Atletico and Barcelona. Incredibly gifted player and works hard too
 
Everyone praising Mbappe's pace when Griezmann just played the pass of the tournament. Don't get me wrong it is savage pace but give Griezmann some respect.

Griezmann's pass isn't that great, no other player on the planet (I'm exagerating) could have received the ball but Mbappé.

So if Griezmann fully took into account Mbappé's pace and placed it there because he and only him could get it, that's superb. But i think it was a bit misplaced.

Deschamps gives him a free role that suits him really well. He's a smart player despite behind kind of dumb outside the pitch and he knows where he needs to be. His workrate has also always been outstanding.

If the rule was based on who the player brought down is because of his speed, no on would ever be booked for fouling Maguire! That said, he was our best player yesterday. Possibly the best game I've ever seen him have
 
If Denmark had the attackers of Sweden or Norway they'd be a real threat. They have a solid midfield and defence, it's a shame about their attackers.

It wasn't misplaced, it was miss hit. The pass was supposed to be heavier.
 
Maehle looks a shadow of the player he was at Euro 2020.
 
Quite like the Portugal anthem too.
are we allowed to like Portugal's or will the anti-Ronaldo brigade get upset? :devil:
Seriously, I could make it out the other day. Will have to give it another go
