so...teams currently in third


China 4 pts, 3 games played, 0 GD
Nigeria 3 pts, 3 games played, -1 GD
Austrailia 3 pts, 2 games played, 0 GD
Argentina 1 pt, 2 games played, -1 GD
Cameroon, 0 pt, 2 games plated, -3 GD
Chile, 0 pt, 2 games played, -5 GD

New Zeland is in 4th with 0 pt, 2 games played, -3 GD. Same group as Cameroon.

4 teams advance.

We can pencil in China, Australia imo.

New Zealand vs Cameroon. One team has to win by 2 goals to overtake Nigeria.
Chile plays Thailand (who's essentially out)
Chile has to beat Thailand by 4 goals to overtake Nigeria
(The next tiebreaker is goals scored right?)

hm
Nigeria should advance looking at it.

not for sure tho

Nigeria is -2 GD, right? 0-3, 2-0, and 0-1.

If there's a winner in New Zealand / Cameroon, that team has at worst -2 GD and has a decent shot of passing Nigeria.

edit - I think Nigeria's best hope is a draw in either SCO/ARG or NZ/CAM.

The goal keeper rules for staying on the line have been modified, FIFA is going to be able to enforce properly now, that they have VAR review. Also this rule change came in effectively on June 1.

It's going to be harder for goal keepers than ever..but it's a new rule for better or for worse:

Yeah. It's hard to argue "well the ref should've looked away for that one". It's the rule, and rules can't not be binary. I think the debate has to be about a) the rules, and b) when and how often VAR is used. Can't really blame the ref there.

Oh please dont give me that rules crap. Had the lady scored the fucking penalty, she wouldnt have retaken the penalty. Renard missed it outright, had nothing to do with the keeper.

Like jrush said, she missed the penalty, the penalty wasn't even saved. There was no reason to retake it at all, but they did. The other fact of the French player in the box encroaching was not even looked at. If you are going to be so strict, be strict with everything. You penalized the Nigerian goalkeeper but not the French players?

I was watching a show about previous World Cups once and there was a bit on the Cameroon - England quarterfinal in 1990. Cameroon was up 2-1 but England was awarded 2 penalty kicks late and won 3-2. The England players they interviewed were pretty much like "whew, thanks refs"

There were three penalties in that game (one for Cameroon) and all three decisions were correct.

Players encroaching comes into play in case of rebound. Several refs have confirmed that everything was ruled correctly per the rules of June 1. We can disagree with those rules, of course.

It's hard to separate the two. She could argue she missed because the gk moved.

Brazil and Barcelona striker Andressa Alves out of the World Cup due to a training injury. Third player Brazil lost this World Cup, without counting Formiga, who is suspended for today's match against Italy (2nd yellow card).

First place in the group is still up for grabs and England definitely wants to win to make up, in some small way, for the heart wrenching, brutal own goal that knocked them out in a semifinal against Japan in 2015.
