World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

[ticapnews]

So the Germans will have success early but the French will gain the upper hand late?

Too bad it's not in Trenton.

Norway gets a penalty and Haaland....watches from the bench as Strand Larsen misses.

 

[ticapnews]

Senegal winning would eliminate Scotland.

Is that official? Algeria and Croatia are on three points and ahead of Scotland on GD, but if they get blown out in game three that could swing back in Scotland's favor. Of course, Cape Verde and Belgium are both lurking on 2 points...

 

[ticapnews]

Senegal score again. 2-0
Iraq down to 10

 

[ticapnews]

Senegal 4-0 now.

France 9 +7
Norway 6 +2
Senegal 3 +1

Norway heading to Dallas to play Ivory Coast.

Yeah I misread it. Scotland now needs Algeria and Croatia to lose by 3 or more goals plus like Uruguay to lose, a bunch of ties and other results.

 

[Jimjamesak]

We could potentially get South Korea eliminated too.

Five.

FORE! Doue 90+4'

Too bad it's not in Trenton.

I understood this reference.

All eight teams in action tonight could advance or be completely eliminated. Even Spain.

 

[ticapnews]

No score in either game after the first quarter.

 

[ticapnews]

Uruguay's GK not exactly covering himself in glory there. Poor play by Muslera.
URU 0 - 1 ESP
Baena goal

If things finish this way, Cape Verde finish second in the group. Uruguay are eliminated.

 

[ticapnews]

Uruguay switch out the GK at half.

 

[ticapnews]

Uruguay have decided if they can't beat Spain in football they're going to try rugby.

Someone is going to get stretched off.

 

[ticapnews]

4th quarter will be exciting! 1-0 Spain and still 0-0 between KSA and CPV.

Spain 7 +5
Cape Verde 3 0
---
Uruguay 2 -1
Saudi Arabia 1 -4

The fans are standing up to them! The security guards are standing up to them! The peanut vendors are standing up to them! And by golly, if I could get down there, I'd be standing up to them!

Straight red for Canobbio. Uruguay down to 10.

 

[ticapnews]

Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia match has gone final in a 0-0 draw.
Cape Verde go through!

 

[Jimjamesak]

Uruguay eliminated too.

Those results helped South Korea and Scotland too.

Spain win the group
Cape Verde go to Miami to play reigning champion Argentina.
Uruguay out.
