Group A's General Discussion Thread

Impressive from Korea.

 

0-0.
Only one shot on goal between the two teams the entire half.

 

An absolute stinker so far!

 

If the objective of the sport was to be offside the most, then yes, impressive.

 

They're controlling the match away to a decent Mexico team.

 

I'd argue that it remains to be seen how "decent" they are. Where is the evidence? Didn't have to qualify. Beat RSA who proved to be terrible earlier today.

Granted ROK are fighting against a pretty big altitude advantage for MX.

 

Wow

Embarrassing

 

Awful keeping.

Last match he was bad with his feet. This time with his hands.

 

Damn! CHE and Canada will be fighting to finish second at this rate.

 

Why?

 

Because the loser of that match faces the loser of this one.

 

I don’t think Canada wants to leave their country so soon.

Also there’s thousands of Koreans in California. Both the Swiss and Canadian fans would be severely outnumbered.

 

Korea with their best chance. Saved.

 

Final 1-O.

Mexico is the first team to officially qualify for the knockouts and have clinched 1st in the Group.

 

2nd world cup in 3 world cups that South Korea helps Mexico advance out of the group. Mexicans love affair with Korea continues.

It was a good game though. One of the handful of games so far that both teams played at a high level.

 

I gotta admit, I haven’t been too impressed with Mexico. I don’t think South Korea are really that good and Czech Republic and South Africa are even worse.

And Mexico got a bit lucky but I think this game was pretty even between Mexico and South Korea. South Korea have a few good players but the team isn’t managed well at all and has a lot of problems.

I’ve been underwhelmed by Mexico.

 

It will be interesting to see how Mexico approaches the last match.
They could just play all benchers and rest up for the round of 32.

That could potentially help Czechia advance. .

 

To me Mexico seems like a slightly weaker Colombia.

 

I was wondering that too. They’ve already won the group so maybe they’ll rest a lot of players. They don’t need anything from the last game as far as I know.

 

Slightly?

 

I was half joking, Yeah, Canada would definitely want to finish top, as would MX.

And MX seeled top spot which makes last matchday a bit of a yawner in that group.
