Ive gone Poland and overs, so far for me today its 1/3 after that 0-0, but hopefully this game has goals in it

Poland never strike me as goalfests though
Report Des Pond November 22, 2022 3:23 PM GMT
got to be a red at some point, but maybe not in this game. Could be another 0-0 candidate here. Lewandowski didn't turn up at the last World Cup. And I'm not expecting much from him this time, tbh. One of these teams is going out, so it will be a nervy affair, i think. 0-0 or 1-1 for me.

I'm not sure that their motivation will be anything to do with embarrassment about Latin American culture at all. The Argentina result makes it more difficult for them, and Poland to qualify. It won't have any other meaning for them, imho.

Lewandowski will either get a pen or get booked, and maybe sent off, for diving. That's what his game seems to be based on nowadays. At least, when I've seen him for Barcelona.

Same old Mexicans, all high energy with little cutting edge, think they've been knocked out of the last 7 World Cups in the second round and looking at them here, I can see the same thing again, they can beat Poland but they're never quarter finalists. Strange for a country that is football mad and has a population of 130 million that they can't really produce any top level stars whatsoever.

4 points could be enough but if they draw next game with Mecchio then Saudi and Mexico might be able to do a Austria Germany draw to both get through. Not sure Saudi don't do well against Poland. If the next round matches are both drawn that prospect is a reality and also just think how much money the Mexican players can make from the Saudi royal family for drawing the game!

An arm across another player seems OK but shirt pulling has always been a foul-just not always given, as that wasn't except by VAR. I give FIFA credit for ensuring that this is enforced as any defender can pull any attacker off the ball by pulling his shirt. Apart from that the officiating has been really poor. This looks like another 0-0.

His scoring record in club football is very decent - but he's mostly played in a flat track bully setup for clubs.

Internationally he often looks average to me, where his side can't dominate.
