When I become Earth's overlord, I'm making a rule that you get 10 seconds on the ground and if you're still on the ground you come out of the game or it's a yellow card.

Poland’s keeper came to play

Szczesny stones Messi on that penalty kick!!

Messi is point shaving.

Szczesny needs to work on that rebound control though.

If both these matches end at 2-0 then I think the tiebreak between Poland and Mexico is fair play points and if that’s tied a random draw. I’d love to see a FIFA random draw.

They just announced that Poland would advance on fair play points if things stay the way they currently are.

Didn't seem like they knew the exact difference. I wonder if a single yellow by Poland would be enough to level or flip it?

 

[esls79]

I think Poland would need three yellows or a player getting his second yellow in the match and no more Mexican cards to level things out. Or a straight red to Poland and another yellow to Mexico will do it as well.

I'm starting to think that Polish defender wants a piece of the action.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Argentina sure not interested in helping Poland stay alive.

If Poland manage to not concede again it'll be a miracle.

Anxious moments for Poland now.

Well, scratch that lol

Mexico can still advance but they need to score.

It's Argentina and Poland to the knockout stage.

They had a random draw at Italia 90 although it was to see who would finish 2nd and 3rd in a group and both teams still went through (ireland and Holland I think).

I believe if Mexico and Poland had been playing each other and fair play points and everything else was tied, they'd have had a penalty shoot-out.

Okay lads, one game left, lay it all out there today.
