6 extra ref's and most of them are stupid so farIts basically just an extra ref. But this ruined the game tho.

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
oh dang,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.
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.

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"
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?
Win by a large amount of goalsSo Brazil needs to win today in order to get the 2 seed I assume.
they already scored 5 goals though?
come back to this when we get bounced and the "if only we hadn't wasted so many opportunities" posts pop up.
You should have phrased as "as usual, Debinha/Ludmila can't score". Cristiane can.come back to this when we get bounced and the "if only we hadn't wasted so many opportunities" posts pop up.
by dead you mean qualified as best 3rd place?
Oh they're gonna get in? Not by this game, if so, they one and done.
Australia, Italy and Brazil are getting in, unless Brazil loses by a large amount of goals or Jamaica beats Australia.Oh they're gonna get in? Not by this game, if so, they one and done.
fair enoughYou should have phrased as "as usual, Debinha/Ludmila can't score". Cristiane can.
Please tell me someone grabbed that for a gif.
Tomorrow is ENG-JPN but both are already in I assume so are they just gonna play for nothing?
