A 1-1 draw so Germany is still alive. They have to beat Costa Rica and hope that Spain beats Japan.

If they lose this game could they still qualify. As it would be possible that all teams apart from Spain had 1 win. If Germany win easily in the last round and Spain won easily too

that undid Japan last night. They just passed the ball around waiting for the perfect opening, just assuming it would come. it didn't. And then Costa Rica score with their only shot on target of the entire tournament.
Tough shit.
There is an enormous lack of ambition at this tournament.

TBF the attacking intent & ambition is there for Japan
I just think they thought Costa Rica would be a doddle after beating Germany

If you stick to the 2 minute “highlights” package there is plenty of ambition
The average goals per game so far is down from the last couple of WC’s. But I think overall the intent is far more defensive.

It's a mistake to assume because someone is rich now that they always were.
Gianni Infantino is the son of relatively poor Italian immigrants to Switzerland. Given how socially closed Switzerland can be (and the Valais particularly) he may have quite a lot of idea of how an immigrant worker might feel.

As someone who lives in the Valais, but has also lived in Ireland, it’s easier to assimilate in Valais. The Irish are awfully clannish. There are heaps of Italians in Valais.

Switzerland made an ok fist of their game. 0-1 is no disgrace. I’m backing them to defeat Serbia and head for their usual round of 16 exit.
I give you guys no chance of taking down England 4-0.

Sth Korea a bit unlucky not to snag a draw I thought. Makes it almost impossible for them to make it now because they’ll need a win against Portugal now and for Uruguay to beat Ghana…

Netherlands and Senegal advance while Qatar gently weeps.

I’m watching good vs evil. So far neither side has resorted to a nuclear option.
Next World Cup really sounds silly. 16 pools of 3 teams. Top 2 in each pool go thru. Winner will have played 6 rather than 7 matches.

Is it normal in English football commentary to give the score in another game being played at the same time? Totally spoils it for people who want to watch that other game.

The commentator in the USA-Iran game is providing regular updates of the England-Wales score.
The USA need a second goal as Iran could punish them on the break.

Fantastic free kick from Rashford, but fucking awful decision from the ref to award the free kick in the first place
VAR can tell you whether a player is a ball hair offside but can’t correct incorrect decisions like that
Second goal was superb from Kane and Foden but terrible from us
We need to play Wimbledon for this match
Long ball to Moore and see what happens

Normal. In the EPL they often have snippets of goal action from other games
