Cash will pocket Mbappe then slay the land of his upbringing. Poland will Greece their way to the final where they will beat Brazil 1-0 thanks to an own goal from Neymar
I know it didn't come to it, but how on this earth are we getting into a situation where a team can go out based on the number of cards. I know it happened before, but most ridiculous rule ever!
I was really willing Mexico to knick a late goal, Poland deserved to lose by a few more really and always get the hype of underdogs, have a chance mostly as Lewangoalksi.

In fairness the yellow card thing is something like the 8th tiebreaker. Not sure what else FIFA could propose before they're forced to draw lots, maybe shots on target across all games?

Shots on target is probably better, at least it encourages people to go for it, although I'd rather a shootout, even if it's the next day or however the logistics would work. The fact it's happened and nearly again, it needs to be looked into imo.

The worst rule is the very next one... Had Mexico | Poland tied on cards, then the team to advance would have been on the drawing of lots - How can something like that be decided on a game of chance, and off the Football pitch
Bet if that ever happens, it'll only happen the once going forward, as bet there will be a lot of complaints about it

What else is there I guess?
2/3 of the time the teams will be at different grounds hundreds of miles away so you can't make them take penalties or whatever.
You're left with lots, or something pretty arbitrary like how many shots they had on target in the 3 games.

If there is a realistic prospect of two sides being tied on points, GD and goals scored, simply have each team send a keeper (they have at least 3) to the other ground and have a virtual penalty shootout with the other ground being shown on the big screens.

Thats where shots on target should maybe come into it
But you're right on locations - 2018 was a perfect example (and 2026 will be) of a Geographical nightmare... England were based in St. Petersburg, Tunisia (Moscow) | Panama (Volga) | Belgium (Moscow) - Thats at least an hour flight if we needed to play a penalty shootout to decide 2nd spot.

Hate the fact too that the KO rounds mostly end up being Europe vs South America
Great job Australia | United States | Senegal to avoid that so far
Japan | Morocco | Ghana are the likely ones to join them
Least we've got one Nation through from each confederation already
But a) there's bound to be close games/surprises in those games and b) if not, the QFs will look very good.
A: Netherlands, 7pts +4
B: England, 7pts +7
C: Argentina, 6pts +3
D; France, 6pts +3
it’s all done
Shame they’ve both gone out. Both had massive fanbases in Doha and their games had some of the best atmosphere yet.
It's the World Cup ffs!
