CDMX, Mexico. -There have been no shortage of surprises in the world: since protests like those of Germany and Iran for human rights violations. Even the scandalous pressure from FIFA to prevent European teams from wearing the captain’s badge called #OneLove, which supports the rights of sexual diversity. The groups They weren’t predictable either.
On the other hand, some results were not expected either.to field, where a great powers of football they have not gone wellno good. Only France, Spaina, Holland and England have not suffered the scares, which have the German on the verge of elimination (1 pt.), Belgium defeated by Morocco this day Y Argentina that managed to recover against Mexico, after being exhibited by Saudi Arabia.
The CONCACAF giant, Mexico, only has one point and if they don’t beat the Arabs and score three goals, they would have to be aware of the result between PolonYoOh the selection of Messi, which is played next Wednesday.
Germany’s situation is similar to Mexico’s, they have to go out and beat Costa Rica, who surprised them by beating the Japanese team. These in turn previously defeated the Germans. Germany must wait for the result between Japan and Spain to know what their destiny will be.
Let’s review the groups and the possibilities
In group A, the Netherlands, Ecuador and Senegal compete for two places. The Europeans will play their last game against the weakest team in the World Cup, the Qataris. So the second place for the round of 16 will be defined between Ecuador and Senegal, where a tie favors the South Americans.
Group B (England, Iran, United States and Wales) anything can happen! The last day to be played on Tuesday has the attractive duel between the selection of Iran and the United States (a political classic). A draw or win puts Iran in the round of 16. While the Stars and Stripes team needs the win.
In the other match, a UK match, favors the English who with a draw secure the next round. Wales, for their part, need to win, and if possible score two or three goals so as not to depend so much on the combination of results. The surprise in this group was the Iranian victory over the Welsh, after eating six England goals.
In C, things are ant color, nobody is classified. Poland leads the group with four points, after drawing with Mexico and defeating Saudi Arabia. Argentina has three points, after beating Mexico and losing to the Saudis.
Mexico, which has gone from euphoria to silence, has only one point. The Saudis, used to leaving in the first round with dozens of goals against, are the group’s big surprise. They have three points, and a victory against the Aztecs would put them in the round of 16. The combinations give a lot to talk about, here you can consult them alls.
In the group of classified France, D, Australia (the surprise of the group) even classified with a tie, since Tunisia and Denmark only have one point.
The cluster And it’s gone crazy. So much so that even the thrashed Costa Rica can qualify. Germany is the most urgent for a victory and hope that the Japanese lose or tie with the Spanish team. The only way for Spain not to qualify for the round of 16 would be with a victory of more than 8 goals for Germany, or 7 for Costa Rica, or losing by 7 goals against Japan. Unlikely.
In the group of the eliminated Canada, F, Croatia, Morocco and Belgium can qualify. Croatia and Belgium could go through if Morocco lose, but if they win, a draw only serves Croatia.
Until Monday, November 27 and December 2, we will know what happens with group G, where Brazil is, without Neymar for the next two group games. The same for the group of Portugal and CR7, where the historic Uruguay is.
The first week of the World Cup was full of emotions and we still have five days to go to define the groups, where only the first and second place qualify. On Saturday, December 3, the round of 16 will begin.
