USA top group D, which means that their first knockout game will take place about about 40 minute drive from me. I looked at the tickets on stubhub for that game a few days ago before it was locked in for the US. Cheapest seats were like $1200, after USA clinched top group D, the cheapest seats are now like $4000.

I should have bought a couple just to resell, fuck me.

The more games that are completed, the more the knockout phase bracket seems massively imbalanced.

They're saying Turkiye might already be out of the World Cup, but say the US play kids against them, and they beat them 5-0, surely they knock Australia or Paraguay into 4th on goal difference if either of those two loses by a handful of goals in their next match?

They’ve changed the rules

First is head to head rather than goal difference 🤷‍♂️

It goes on the head to head record not goals scored or goal difference

game was there for a draw for the scots but were on the backfoot from 70 secs
they had chances but just didnt take them
brazil are not the big threat that they think they are - if the scots turn up and play their A game they still have a
chance - albeit slim but still just in it - just not convinced with brazil
brazilv scotland what a game that will be

Always hated that cunt, diving in the first game and then covered his mouth , absolute tool.
