**********WORLD CUP IN-GAME***********

[B.A.R.]

Wrong game

 

[orangemonk]

Japan beat Colombia, so Japan goes through on the first tie breaker

fake news, it goes goal differential then goals scored. head to head doesn't play a part

 

[KJ]

Are England and Belgium sitting anybody since they both got 6 points and they've both advanced already?

Not sure how soccer teams do and if they just sit people to prevent an unneccesary injury.

They're both sitting key players. It behooves each team to actually lose...a 2nd yellow card means miss the next match so no reason to risk that, but the irony here is that if it's a draw, it will come down to total cards as to who wins the group....the group winner ends up on the tough side of the bracket, group 2nd place gets a smooth path to the semis. So backups play and I'm kinda wondering how it plays out. Both want to lose really

GD, then total goals scored, if equal at that point, then H2H

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Behoove nice vocab

It does, I got it's ranking position wrong...

1. Points obtained in all group matches;
2. Goal difference in all group matches;
3. Number of goals scored in all group matches;
4. Points obtained in the matches played between the teams in question;
5. Goal difference in the matches played between the teams in question;
6. Number of goals scored in the matches played between the teams in question;
7. Fair play points in all group matches (only one of these deductions shall be applied to a player in a single match)

Lucy pulled the ball

 

[guaranteeed]

I dont think england nor belgium care about the r16 matchup

Its about brazil in a potential qf instead of swiss or swedes

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Lucy pulled the ball

Lucy huh

 

[cogenman]

These teams that have nothing to play for love playing spoiler

 

[~Utah]

That Brazil team isn’t that scary imo

 

[KJ]

These teams that have nothing to play for love playing spoiler

Poland want to win, they're better than zero points that's for sure

 

[GWarner27]

These teams that have nothing to play for love playing spoiler

BC run a regression on spoiler performance, i'd guess it's profitable

 

[guaranteeed]

That Brazil team isn’t that scary imo

I dont think so either

But thats what the media has been focused on

 

[~Utah]

Poland want to win, they're better than zero points that's for sure

If they lost they would be the first 1 seed to not get a single point in group play

 

[KJ]

Panama/Tunisia is the big one, prolly best match of the day

 

[GWarner27]

BRA is scarier than most teams besides ESP

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Nice keeper tackle. Neuer style

 

[BetCrimes1984]

I'm warming to Panama Tunisia being a 3+ goal special

 

[KJ]

I'm warming to Panama Tunisia being a 3+ goal special

Yeah I might just pump that too

 

[~Utah]

wait, people think Spain looks good? Why?

I’m pretty distressed about my future

 

[~Utah]

Ouch, great play by the keeper for that tackle

Personal foul in the nfl though

 

[orangemonk]

I think Marcelo injury will hurt brazil a lot.

They still have a ton of talent but haven't put it together whatsoever this WC.

 

[KJ]

Please let it be Spain/Croatia in the quarters

Lots of possession but it would be incredible

 

[~Utah]

If I were to make a pick right now I would be picking from England, Croatia or Uruguay

 

[VirginiaCavs]

I'm warming to Panama Tunisia being a 3+ goal special

Nothing to lose desperate for some points and goals

 

[KJ]

If I were to make a pick right now I would be picking from England, Croatia or Uruguay

No Belgium?

I'm warmed up

 

[orangemonk]

England and Uruguay haven't played anyone. England looked poor vs Tunisia IMO and obviously manhandled Panama but Panama are poo. I'm reserving judgement on those two teams still.

My top form teams are Spain, Croatia, Belgium (who also haven't played anyone but I think look more impressive than England).

 

[GWarner27]

wait, people think Spain looks good? Why?

ESP hasn't looked great besides the POR game, but there's a reason everyone was ceding best GK in the game to De Gea pre-tournament and Iniesta is still terrifying for 65' each match.

In a tournament that has been so defensive, ESP can hold the ball and break people down then set people up to score while all the other teams rely on set pieces/PKs/OGs

 

[KJ]

The flip side of all this finish 2nd in group G bullshit....

England and Belgium are both better than the teams in the good bracket anyway

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Gayest celebration ever

 

[KJ]

:siren:

Fuck

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Colombia top the group, Senegal suffer heartache for sitting back.

You called it

 

[B.A.R.]

Sumtin ... Finally. Give me one more.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Now senegal has to turn back the gear which is hard to do

 

[VirginiaCavs]

O wow mane

 

[KJ]

Cisse fk off, better team and you chose to play prevent

That. loses. everytime.

I really have to disagree that England looked poor against tunisia, I think they got really unlucky not to score a bunch more

The fact that Uruguay hasn’t given up a goal in a year really impressed me

I just think de gea looks awful

 

[~Utah]

So why is Senegal ahead of Japan?

 

[BetCrimes1984]

I've got no time for teams who think they can nurse home their current scoreline 30+ mins out from f/t, unless of course they're down a man thus have no choice but to get defensive.

Especially when their best weapon is speed fml

fair, just the way they got their chances didn't impress me, specifically the build up and possession, which i dont think will translate against better competition.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Jesus ugh

 

[BetCrimes1984]

So why is Senegal ahead of Japan?

They shouldn't be, Japan is ahead on the fair play points, and they're equal on all the tie breaking categories before fair play points

 

[~Utah]

They shouldn't be, Japan is ahead on the fair play points, and they're equal on all the tie breaking categories before fair play points

According to my app Senegal is ahead of japan

 

[VirginiaCavs]

How did england look poor against tunisia. So many chances in front of goal two unlucky post hits from lingard stone fucked up majory once etc. Kane got tackled in box no call

 

[KJ]

Senegal are out as of now gruv, your app sucks
