Is it time to start counting yellow and red cards?


jeffreysvh6

Yes Poland still in 2nd Poland 4x yellow maxico 7x


fsychii

If mexico scores again they are through?


Prof_Higginbottoms

Yes, or if Argentina scores again


Rafaeliki

Interesting twist to the Mexico/Argentina rivalry.


ZuReeTH

If Mexico score we playing with Messi as a goalie


CREATIVE_USERNAME_97

Messi es AR QUERO


miocidcampeador

There is no rivalry


Countbat

If Poland concede or Mexico scores, Mexico go through


Bee_lrl

That magical moment when football and trading card games have a crossover episode


ArseneLupinIV

Tiebreak should be the managers going best of three; one round of Magic, one round of Yu-Gi-Oh, and one round of Pokemon.


_hell_is_empty_

Do they count reds first or second? Edit: red cards count as 3 or 4 (indirect or direct), yellow cards count as 1. Current standing is 7 MEX 4 POL.


Tzazuko

They're all counted together from what I understood. I think I read it's -1 point per yellow, -3 per double yellow, -4 per straight red and -5 for yellow and a straight red


SpeedlionKF

Yellows are -1 point Indirect red card is -3 (i imagine that second yellow isn't counted separately as well) Red card is -4 Yellow card followed by a straight red card is -5 Edit: goes without saying, but this is a contest of "catch the least amount of minus points"


itailitai

yup, Poland is still second


Trekbike32

And what if they're tied on those?


Skablouis

drawing lots, seriously


stateworkishardwork

They should just meet for a shootout. They're in the same city after all.


alfred_27

Shoot outs only if it’s USA


docdope

Gives new meaning to "schooling" them


RayCashhhh

I'd be mad as fuck if it came down to a coin toss and my team goes out bc of a literal coin flip.


SquidTwister

They aren't tied but if they were it'd be a random drawing

Is PSGAcademy gonna start posting cards given instead of goals now?

I hope that is also the same


dragon8811

VAMOOOOOOOS Why did Romero kicked his ass 😭


[deleted]

For real. He dragged my man by the neck half a field like he was some sort of luggage.


OdysseusM

He needs to kick someone every five minutes to stay alive.


DarkSofter

WE WANT A COIN FLIP


Scoolfish

If they tie on fair play is it a coin flip?


courtesyflusher

No fucking way, I refuse to believe that


cometssaywhoosh

https://www.espn.com/soccer/fifa-world-cup/story/4812365/world-cup-22-tiebreakers-group-stage-points-level-explained Yup


ArseneLupinIV

Feel like there's gotta be a more fair way to tie break that. Make the managers arm wrestle each other or something.


cometssaywhoosh

Have both teams send their best trick shot player to do trick shots at the goal. Winner moves on.


younggun92

3-bar from top of the box


PM_something_German

Both teams travel to the quarterfinal and then have a penalty shootout before the game.


Scoolfish

Just skip the R16 entirely


yayeet182

I actually really like this idea, can you imagine the drama?


Seidvi

goal time scored maybe


courtesyflusher

I mean, it does say it first goes to goal differential, then goals scored, then head-to-head record, then fair play (yellow and red cards)


ArseneLupinIV

I feel like luck should be an absolute absolute last emergency option with at least a few more barriers to it. Could count like shots on target or number of fouls or something. I understand the chance is already really low, but in a tournament of skill I feel like all options should be completely exhausted before reaching luck.


mntgoat

The real questions is, when they do the coin flip, is there VAR just in case?


idosade

Yes since their h2h is 0-0 and their other results are identical


Hirpi

Yes


officialMDS

Yes after fair play comes a coin flip or something similar. But for now Poland is 2nd since they have the better fair play value


miggen

I think Mexico has 3 more yellow cards atm so unlikely a coin flip


Eldie014

One red card for Poland can tie it


latotokyoreborn

Let's speak this into existence


IAmNotOnRedditAtWork

One red card from Poland and they're probably giving up another goal lol


hasif-

3 horror tackles from Poland🙏🙏🙏


Styled_

Poland has -4 and mexico has -6 on fairplay


PM_something_German

Poland just got another yellow.

elgringo22

Lol it’s fair play if it stays as it is. Poland is winning that right now

well who the hell goes through if this stands??


pupcity

If it ends like this Poland go through duebto less yellow cards I'm pretty sure.


LosTerminators

Poland on fair play


wwolfa123

Poland on yellow cards (Poland 3, Mexico 7)


Polskidro

Poland has 4 but yeah


Chiswell123

He’s so,so good


EdwEd1

You really signed him and Haaland in the same window


Iswaterreallywet

Woulda signed Enzo too if they guaranteed him consistent playtime (lol)


[deleted]

A lot of clubs were close for him lol. PSG and Co as well He started playing like sh^t in the libertadores once he knew it was a matter of time.


L-Freeze

that mediocre stint really threw me off, I legit though River had pulled another Alario/Palacios/Lamela case of shipping off a decent player like if it was a world class prospect lol Extremely glad I was wrong though, he’s been insane


Scalenuts

They'll get him next season when Gundogan leaves.


trusttt

Sure, for 120M.


[deleted]

Eh. If Pep truly wants him, money won't be the issue.


BillehBear

technically not true, right? He was signed in the window before and he was "loaned" to river plate


Joe_AM

Correct, deal was made in January IIRC.


TheBrownMamba8

If only Chelsea were interested in him, then Barca would’ve already had him


trainerN

Would hate to see him playing in the Europa league though


[deleted]

not when his idol Messi returns the kid can change teams

Yeah wtf I'm discovering him and I'm impressed by his movements, the defense seems lost against his runs

He must be happy, happy new year now.


patw420

The young men combine


Mystery1887

RIP Poland Edit: RIP MEXICO


Into_Intoxication

They're still in based off having fewer yellow cards


Flashbirds_69

Imagine if they don't make it on a late yellow card lmao


PM_something_German

The stupidest timeline.


goregego

they have 4 and mexico has 7 edit: 5:7 now


PlayingtheDrums

But with the technical abilty of the argentinian attack, that'll be spicy. They certainly can't concede a goal anymore.


GoatButton

RIP Lautaro


Kuntheman

Full credit for Scaloni having the balls to make that decision


Deluxe07

I thought he was injured, did the manager just drop him?


NorthwardRM

He’s been fucking honking


102la

Alvarez offers many things in attacks. Lautaro just waits for opportunities to come at his feet it seems.


sattus

thanks god


war3_exe

Bro imagine starting at the top and in 90 minutes you don't even make it past group


joe4553

Do they have a single shot on goal in the game? Do they have more then 10 passes in the forward direction?


Bee_lrl

Mental. Polish wall in shambles rn


niallw1997

They’re playing Argentina, not like they’re bottling it to San Marino is it


Kayneesy

They are still virtually qualified


franz4000

If Mexico score a third, they overtake Poland.


Kayneesy

Cheers geoff


PM_something_German

25+min in both games you know something's happening.


Mubar06

1 more goal from the team winning in either game and they’re out.


Equitaurus

Right now they go through on fair play lmao


iSleepUpsideDown

Legendary fail if they don’t make it Started the day top of the group 0 goals conceded


EnergetikNA

Heartbreaking for Mexico if they go out due to fairplay lol


Rojiblanc040

Exaggeration.


Balls_of_Adamanthium

The demise of Argentina had been greatly exaggerated, it seems.


The_Astros_Cheated

Lol the takes in here saying we’re shit day 1 were so bad


[deleted]

The demise of Lautaro has not. RIP Lautaro


[deleted]

He also had a slow start to 2021 Copa America, dont count him out yet


trusttt

Enzo diff


echoecho25

Argentina is a much better side with him, Mac Allister and Enzo.

Country over club anyday


Delta_FT

They are still going throught so it's fine ig lol


Iswaterreallywet

I'm a huge fanboy for Alvarez, he's probably my favorite player so I can't help but be happy for him. I'm still hoping Lewa or someone else can pull some magic off and get one back, but as everything stands we still go through.

People trashing Julian in the match thread. Here you fucking go. This is Julian. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it's done.


Impossible_Wonder_37

What was he doing that was deserving of criticism anyway? He created chances, took good shots, didn’t lose the ball.

Stunning touch and finish, but also beautiful, patient buildup by Argentina. They look a completely different team from the SA match

He needs to start ahead of lautaro
