If this result holds, then Croatia has won the group, right? I wouldn't rule out Iceland completely, then.
In that situation Nigeria could still just about win the group ahead of Croatia

this is huge if they score here even if they don't win as right now Iceland is +1 on Argentina in goal differential

Could they? Wouldn't they finish after Croatia since Croatia won the match between the two?

i don't think head to head is a tiebreaker? xpost
― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Friday, 22 June 2018 16:42 (five years ago) link
Sorry Ned.
Goal difference trumps head to head results I think Fred
― The Savic Detectives (Noodle Vague), Friday, 22 June 2018 16:43 (five years ago) link
it does. points then goal difference then goals scored THEN head to head

6 minutes extra time? VAR!
― womp womp that sucker (Tom D.), Friday, 22 June 2018 16:49 (five years ago) link
here are the scenarios if this result stands (I think):
Croatia wins, Argentina wins - Croatia and Argentina move onCroatia wins, Argentina draws - Croatia and Nigeria move onCroatia wins, Nigeria wins - Croatia and Nigeria move onIceland wins, Argentina wins - Croatia and Winner of tiebreaker between Iceland and Arg moves onIceland wins, Argentina draws - Croatia and winner of tiebreaker between Iceland and Arg moves onIceland wins, Nigeria wins - Croatia and Nigeria move onIceland draws, Argentina draws - Croatia and Nigeria move onNigeria wins, Messi sets off a suitcase nuke in the stadium in rage - everybody in the blast radius moves on
― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Friday, 22 June 2018 16:50 (five years ago) link
second "Croatia and winner of tiebreaker between Iceland and Arg moves on" should say "Iceland and NIgeria"
― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Friday, 22 June 2018 16:53 (five years ago) link
so it's going to be more like 8 minutes stoppage now, like that one crazy Copa match a few years ago

Seven victories in the last eight matches and all of them to nil is another odd run of results.
I quite fancy Serbia tonight thought it could be another one where a set piece decides it.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Friday, 22 June 2018 17:33 (five years ago) link
Croatia are definitely top so why would they risk even a single first team player against Iceland?You'd still think Argentina would be able to beat Nigeria but things are completely rancorous in the camp so who knows. And Nigeria clearly know how to deal with clownish keepers.

Just caught up with the Brazil game. How many injury time winners have there been now?

1-0. VAR set piece in the 91st minute.

Match abandonded after someone flies a drone with a Kosovo flag onto the pitch imo.
Barring that, idk 2-1 Serbia.

I wonder if Kevin Kilbane has any opinions as to how quickly Switzerland should move the ball.
