Chavez of Mexico is useful with free-kicks. Produced another good effort there.
Yep. Its the final one on the list.
Chavez nearly scores from another free kick, fine save.
I'm keeping an eye on the Mexico game and they seem to be on the attack every time I look, you'd have to fancy them to get another
Martin missed a great chance.
Only sometimes. It created much less jeopardy in games like England vs Wales.
Ah c'mon. Should be 3-0 Argentina. Great pass by Messi.
Good question... as it stands they'd need to get 3 cards and Mexico none to draw level, so they should be safe enough..
Think Argentina will score a third here though, and put Mexico through anyway...
Thought that was in - side netting, what a ball by Messi,
7 yellows for Mexico and only 4 for Poland.
But I reckon there's a goal or two to be scored yet!
What happens if Poland get yellows and they can’t split them by cards? Like Is there a scenario where it’s literally toss a coin?
BBC confirm, Poland going through as it stands because they have fewer yellow cards
Was about to ask what the tie breaker conditions arrow, so discipline is definitely the next category used then.
Mexico need one more goal, either for themselves, or for Argentina.
Mexico got a rake of yellows against Argentina, which look like they'll really cost them.
Mexico have 7 yellow cards in total. Poland have 4.
One more goal scored by Argentina or Mexico in the other game, and Mexico will finish second instead of Poland.

Poland ahead of Mexico based on yellow cards right now! That’s nuts
He adds nothing to my enjoyment or understanding of a match. Being buzz killington and captain hindsight is a bad combination
Great goal. Poland deserve nothing from this game. Really poor. Poland still second based on less yellow cards according to bbc.
Poland go through as they have Less Yellow cards - as it stands now,
Come on the Mexicans...
That's the end of Poland
It it's an Argentina one Mexico and Poland would be level on everything and it would come down to fair play record
Is this right?
Alvarez with a great finish. Poland getting that sinking feeling now.
Nooowwww Poland are in trouble... anyone know the fair play record of the two teams?
Edit> I see Mexico have a few extra cards, so Poland still good.
That was a nice goal. Great build up.
I’ve always much preferred the use of goal difference to h2h as the separator. Head to head removes so much jeopardy and possibilities
About time Argentina got their second goal. Lovely finish by Alvarez.
Lovely finish.
Poland in trouble now.
