3rd place in this group going through almost certainly gets the Germans, 2nd most likely the Netherlands (group F winners), Group winners is group F runners up so likely Japan. Finish 3rd and a pummeling in Ro32 is pretty likely

"technical error stopped us making the graphic but he was totally on". amazing FIFA has been able to become more corrupt than the days of Blatter

nerves absolutely destroyed by that. Would have liked a bit of a goal difference buffer for Morocco and Brazil but a wins a win

****ing hell. That's what you get having a forest goalie

first game of a world cup against a central American minnow, what could go wrong. Costa Rica? never heard of them

Brazil look abysmal

huge mistake expanding the tournament to let nothing nations like the Swiss in imo

this is a game where the drinks break is actually necessary but my god it's such yank nonsense. What's the ****ing DJ doing?

except it's not, it's in there for the same reason the final now has a half time show, for the yanks and FIFA's greed

except that's not getting an advantage for future games??? that's in the same game and the hydration breaks are not one sided, one team does not stop playing for 3 minutes while the other one continues. So they don't need to be in every game

no coach is giving their players advice on a game in 5 days time midway during the first half of a game against an entirely different team... You do not get an advantage against future opponents from having a water break. If you think you do, then actually say what it is rather than talking about imagination

so in love with Southampton we've hired Matt Le Tissier as a fan

in match yes, but there's not just one team stopping for a drink while the other one plays. Having a 2 minute break in a match 3 days earlier does not give you any sort of advantage

naw, how does it give anyone an advantage? particularly compared to just the entire nature of tournament football meaning that no two teams will ever have had the same recovery period before playing each other

the yank mind cannot comprehend 45 minutes without an ad break

Bosnia seen the Mexico game and wanting more red cards

"Marschs maplepressing" defund the BBC tbh

it's more fail by any means possible.

1-0 defeat to Haiti 1-1 draw v Morocco Battling 2-2 draw with Brazil, out as the 9th best 3rd place team. The Scottish way.

lol, that's not a red either surely

really don't think thats violent conduct though. yes it's a hand in the face but the Mexican lad has just shoved his arse in there and the south Africa player is just trying to squeeze his way out of that having played the ball.

Very very harsh, don't want to see players sent off like that

Brazil v Morocco and France v Senegal should be decent

hosts against qualifying group winners, this isn't the expansion of the tournament, this is just how some of the world cup group stage is in every tournament

2am on Sunday. Scotland v Haiti, a bunch of absolute cloggers... against Haiti
