Southgate told them to pretend like they are in the Semis. Got this : "Gareth Southgate is contemplating as many as six changes for the final World Cup group game against Belgium on Thursday but insists that England do not want to lose momentum and that their “mindset” is to go for the win." 6 changes and expecting to win ?! I hope they are not going to challenge France and Denmark for most boring performance in this tournament Edited June 27, 2018 by FrFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are not going to challenge France and Denmark for most boring performance in this tournament We make fun, but I think it's also a wise move. I'd swap all 11 if I could, because it's a lot of games in a few days. I don't believe you lose any sharpness by resting your guys in this kind of environment. Main concern is that they haven't really been tested against quality opponents. That would be my argument not to rest: basically have a high-end practice game to really work on your game.

MisterPinstripe Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Im rooting hardcore for Germany and Sweden to win and Germany by 2 goals. I want to see Donovan's twitter feed if that happens. Asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the second tie breaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, all I know is if Sweden wins they are for sure through, if Germany wins by 2 they are for sure through as well and Mexico is out. There are a bunch of scenarios of scorelines if Germany and Sweden win that kick out Mexico. It may be that Sweden beating Mexico gives them a tiebreaker over them and Germany beating South Korea by 2 gives them a scoreline tie breaker over Mexico. Basically this: If Mexico loses to Sweden, and Germany wins by at least two goals, then Germany and Sweden will advance on goal differential and head-to-head, respectively. Mexico will also be eliminated if they lose by multiple goals and Germany beats South Korea. I believe there are 4 or 5 other scenarios based on scoreline that will also knock Mexico out. Key is Sweden of course beating Mexico. Edited June 27, 2018 by MisterPinstripe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Mexico v Sweden Germany v S.Korea I’m more interested in Germany winning today, SK starting with 3 yellows. HOLY CRAP first touch off kick Mexico gets a yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Oh man Ochoa Was he given a yellow? Ok so screw up by ref....as my son’s coach always says, “the ball doesn’t lie”. Meaning, if it really was a violation then the ball will find the net, if not then no goal will score. At least ref didn’t give Ochoa a yellow.

MisterPinstripe Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Dont think Mexico will make it out of the round of 16.
