Good prediction. Would Mexico have advanced if they held on to the 2-0 result over Saudi Arabia (And Argentina won 2-0)?? I thought Mexico had to make up a 5 goal difference, but on ABC they are saying that the Saudi goal near the end was the difference in Mexico going home instead of advancing.

But then again, mainstream US media knows nothing about soccer so who knows?

No, they were equal on 2-0, but Poland still would've advanced because they have less yellow cards. It goes to fair play point if everything else is equal.

Thanks. Amazing how bad modern day journalism is. I guess, we as fans are pretty much on our own to figure out the situations.

In related news, Sky Sports has been showing the wrong bracket ALL DAY.

Come on, lads! It's the World Cup! Get your shit together!
