Originally posted by French Rage View PostTo me, and mind you this is with just a passing knowledge of the various teams, this wasn't a great result but also wasn't a bad result, it was what you would expect from a tie. It was good how strong they looked in the first half, especially for a young team; it was bad in that it felt like they had a chance to win it but had to settle for the tie. My understanding is that England is probably the best team in our group, Iran the worst, and us and Wales are fighting for that second spot; so a tie doesn't gain us ground but doesn't lose us ground; stealing a point from England becomes very key; also getting to play Iran last, knowing what goal differential we need, is also key. But still have to play the games.If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

Meanwhile, the captains of all seven European teams were planning to wear rainbow armbands but were told by FIFA that any such thing would warrant a yellow card at kickoff, so all seven backed down.
Uruguay have been banned from the World Cup because "Your name is just too close and might offend our hosts in Qatar."
The entire Belgian team was told not to wear shirts with the word "love" embroidered on the collar.
Kevin Love has been barred from attending any games. Music by Bob Marley, the Beatles, Elton John and any other artist who ever mentioned love has likewise been silenced.
Fans from the United States were temporarily blocked from entering the stadium for today's USA-Wales match because they were wearing rainbow shirts. They had to remove the shirts in order to enter the stadium.
Two men were arrested and given a two year prison sentence for holding hands and embracing after Gareth Bale converted his penalty kick. FIFA president
Gianni Infantino hailed this as a step forward for Qatar and the entire world, because that kind of deviant behavior normally would result in a five year sentence.
Only half of the above stories are fake. The other half really happened.

The seeded Pot 1 teams are placed into spot 1 in their group automatically but the other three are placed into 2-4 based on a random draw.
And Pots by FIFA rankings is relatively new, only started in 2018. Before that the Pots were based on Confederations (Asia and CONCACAF a typical pairing).U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

How so? If I were Iran, I’d be going, “****, we just gave up 6 goals and now Wales and the US will try to put up 17 each….”
More importantly from Iran’s perspective, a win by the US or Wales would’ve likely meant needing to beat both given their goal differential. Now they can park the bus and aim for a draw and a 1-0 win and have a good chance at advancing. As long as England doesn’t lose, Iran just needs four points to secure a knockout spot, even if it means a -3 differential.Go Green! Go White! Go State!

Originally posted by LynahFan View PostToo lazy to look, but isn’t our Iran game ate the same time as England-Wales? So we won’t know if England thrashes them 8-0 or squeaks out a win. Each of those goals is exactly as important as the goals in our Iran game.

Still would be a cool deep dive into the initial match-ups to see how much of it is simply the good teams being good. Seems like the perfect story for 538, but they’ve had a total of three soccer stories the last two weeks.Go Green! Go White! Go State!

The announcing team on FS1 sounds like they absolutely hate each other and hate the conditions over there.
"THere's no wifi. Which is juuuuuuuuuuuust greaaat."
