World Cup 2022

Ghana win a penalty and Ayew takes it horribly, pausing a few times in his run-up to the ball. Uruguayan keeper saves it easily.

My thought is that you always try to put it on frame with some pace, instead of trying to get too cute with it. Jamie Vardy is someone who does this really well.

Seeing reports that the Dutch are dealing with a flu outbreak on the roster and that includes Frenkie de Jong.

Man, I hope not. We want to beat them full strength and not get exposed to the flu. Yeesh.

Kel Varnsen is Portugal a pretty old team, relatively speaking?

This lists them as 26.8 about in the middle.

Holy Korea!

DRAMA!! Uruguay is in trouble now!

Uruguay with some good chances to get their 3rd.

Group G is last up correct?

Brazil is in.
Switzerland looks like they're in with a win or a tie against Serbia.
Serbia has to win to have a chance.
Cameroon has to beat Brazil to have a chance.

I'm guessing the game to watch would be Switzerland and Serbia as I'm assuming Brazil should take care of Cameroon.


Also, why does South Korea advance over Uruguay? I'm curious as to what decides that tiebreaker when they have the same Points and Goal Differential and tied head to head.

I will probably watch Switz/Serbia.

The first tie breaker is Goal Differential. Both Uruguay and S. Korea had a 0 Goal Differential. The second is Goals scored. S. Korea had 4 goals scored, Uruguay had 2. Thus S. Korea advances.

If Uruguay would have scored a 3rd goal then they would have advanced with a +1 Goal Differential.


If it is still tied they look at Head to Head results, Head to Head Goal Differential, Head to Head goals scored and finally who ever plays the nicest.

[Kel Varnsen]

Have to imagine that Ghanaian players did not lose sleep over preventing Uruguay from advancing.
