  • If that games finishes in a draw or Argentina win, Mexico would need to win by at least four goals

  1. YELLOW CARD (NOT TO MEXICO THOUGH...)published at 20:43 Greenwich Mean Time 30 November 2022

    Saudi Arabia 0-2 Mexico

    Hirving Lozano runs towards the box and he's fouled just outside it.

    Saudi's Abdullah Madu is booked but that doesn't matter to our calculations.

    Poland 0-2 Argentina

    Poland's heat map shows how unadventurous and uninspiring they have been in this game. They have not had a shot on target so far.

    But that yellow card counter currently means they have done enough.

    Saudi Arabia 0-2 Mexico

    Ten minutes plus stoppage time. Mexico need to score once. Or they need Argentina to score once. Or they need a Poland player to be sent off.

    Ben: The negative way Poland are playing I would prefer Mexico to go through purely for entertainment value. If so much wasn't riding on this I would have switched it off!

    David: Argentina have fully deserved this one. Not because they have been excellent, but because Poland have been so poor. No supply or support for Lewandowski all night.

    Poland 0-2 Argentina

    One aspect of this now is how much appetite do Argentina have to really go for the jugular. They are winning this group and there will be players thinking 'best not risk any injury'.

    Saudi Arabia 0-2 Mexico

    It's non-stop Mexico now. Non-stop. There's a last-ditch tackle, a punch from the keeper and a routine save from a long-range strike.

    Poland 0-2 Argentina

    Poland aren't even trying to get over halfway.

    They are purely in contain mode.

    We've had 28 shots in this game - 20 of them from Mexico.

    Kiragu: Really unfair. Mexico is a better footballing side than Poland. Yellow cards depend on the pettiness and overzealous nature of some officials.

    So, if it is level on fair play points after this, it goes to a drawing of lots.

    Now that would be fun!

    Saudi Arabia 0-2 Mexico

    Mexico's Orbelín Pineda curls one just wide from 20 yards out. Tense tense tense.
