I can't believe Memo Ochoa saved Lewandowski's PK. Lew didn't get the best strike on the ball but it would've easily gone in if Memo didn't time it perfectly. Fucking Saudi Arabia is sitting pretty at the top of Group C after Poland and Mexico tied. Go fucking figure.

Yeah, it's going to be a tough road for MX to qualify though. I'm guessing that Argentina will still make it through with wins over Poland and likely Mexico. If SA can just pack it in on defense and play for some counter attacks, they might be able to get a couple draws and either win the group, or end up 2nd and still get through. Gonna be an interesting one for sure.

Whichever teams will go through this group will be lucky ones, the group has toughened up more than expected with SA just one win away from making history.
What are the odds they threw the game for some Saudi $$$?
Minimal, considering the team that was fielded by Argentina and the fact that the referee added another 6 more extra minutes to try and see them equalise.

Maybe he expected ochoa to go the opposite side, the pk doesn't seem to have a lot of power

Wow, now France is down 1-0 to Australia early on. What a crazy WC start so far.

It's crazy how soft Germans have become. In the span of 110 years they've gone from having Europe on its knees twice to basically being the bitch in NATO. Looks like their political culture is showing in their national team now.

I was able to catch the Belgium/Canada match, tough break for the Canucks. Hard to cheer for them but I found myself wanting them to equalize in the final 15 minutes.
