no shit

Franko

oh well there's still north korea

Grobian

poor Koreans, but Argentina is just the better team. Otoh Korea just has to win their next game and they're through, right? Or what decides when two teams have the same number of points?

Sunday_Assassin

Number of goals scored. I'm not sure korea is safe yet on that front

It really depends on what happens in the Nigeria vs Greece game comign up next.

Grobian

Oh, I looked it up, it's goal difference first, then number of goals, then direct competition. But as Greece won't win against Argentina, at least Korea can advance on their own (by beating Nigeria).

SabreMau

Best-case scenario for Korea would be a tie in that game, so the standings would be 6-3-1-1 instead of 6-3-3-0. Then they'd advance with a win over Nigeria or a tie and have Greece not beat Argentina.

Super Eagles!

If Nigeria beats Greece, then a tie against South Korea gets them through on goal difference.

That is a distinct possibility since Greece is shit

Tallaclassee

as a mad german im gonna be the wet blanket that so many were for our performance against australia

- first goal was a pathetic own goal
- second goal was shit goaltending
- third goal higuain was clearly offsides

see how do you like it argentines

but really though its sad the two most impressive teams in this tournament are going to meet in the quarterfinals. england's quarter of the bracket is going to be such a joke if they win their group.

It's going to be Argentina and Nigeria, from Group B.

Balefuego

I know, but that's why giving up that last goal was so huge. A 3-1 loss and they still have a slight edge in tiebreakers unless Nigeria blows out Greece.

Now even a 1-0 win for Nigeria gives them the edge.

naporeon

Let me rephrase: it was always going to be Argentina and Nigeria.

Balefuego

Clearly the Germans should play for 2nd place in Group D.

Although I still think the U.S. has an ok chance to win Group C.

Tallaclassee

here's the thing tho

ruud gullit said it best: soccer is a game about mistakes. the good teams put good players in the best position to capitalize on those mistakes. if neither team makes a mistake, there won't be any goals.

argentina deserved their goals based on the run of play and chapeau to them for capitalizing on the mistakes so lethally

Sunday_Assassin

oh hey guys, let's stage the world cup in south africa, what a great idea!

high altitudes

freezing cold temperatures

half empty stadiums

vuvuzelas

greece qualify

terrible world cup

Tallaclassee

so do greeks use their own alphabet for physics and math symbols
that would get confusing

naporeon

Greece is terrible in part because their players' names all have way too many syllables.

Sunday_Assassin

alternatively:

maradona is crazy

dommenech is crazy

forlan is awesome

emile heskey

fantastic world cup!

Balefuego

It's still better than Italia '90

Balefuego

I think the post is the player of the tournament so far.

naporeon

Did Maradona really tell Pele to "go back to the museum"?

Because that is hilarious.

Followed closely by Own Goal.

Tallaclassee

as hilarious as maradona trying to get in on that group hug from the first goal

naporeon

Jesus, Greece.

That was embarrassing.

Tallaclassee

oh, greece

Sunday_Assassin

So profoundly gifted on the pitch.

So completely mental everywhere else.

Tallaclassee

fattest chihuahua

naporeon

If this is how you play when you must win, Greece, you really do deserve to be sent home as soon as possible.

Bhow
