FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

[agulati]

Planning to head to ship and anchor for tomorrow. Planning to get there at 8am. Safe time?

Also any other options near by if Ship and Anchor fills up?

[Muta]

At 8 AM, there may be a decent lineup already. You should be able to get in though, just maybe not the best seating. It's a vibe at the Ship for sure though!

I'm going to the Pig and Duke for 8 AM; they take resos so that's why I'm going there over the Ship for a game this early haha.

There’s a Croatia watch party at Limericks tomorrow. I won’t be going but I imagine the atmosphere will be fun.

[Scrambler]

Wish me luck sleeping tonight, going to be a fun morning for sure. Nervous but looking forward to the game. With some proper touch and finish from our front 3 things may just go out way.

Would be nice to still have something to play for against Morocco

[Zarley]

So, are we gonna eff Croatia tomorrow or what?

[EldrickOnIce]

If I understand correctly, Canada is only eliminated with a loss. Obviously complicated scenarios still exist, including the possibility of advancing with 2 points only.
Please just win.

[Winsor_Pilates]

Will be at YVR for this one, 10:15am pacific flight.
Hopefully get through security before kickoff, find a screen and board my flight right after the match.
Could actually be perfect timing

While it is probably a bit of an advantage to know the result of the Belgium Morroco match before we kick off, it's likely more interesting to Croatia. Canada needs two wins to be assured to go through, and a win and a tie should, but not guarantees, them a spot in the knockouts.

IMO, the desired results, ranked in advance of Canada and Croatia kicking off an hour later:

1)Belgium tie
2)Belgium loss
3)Belgium win

A Belgium win would have them through and, though seeding is in play, given the last chance to rest before knockout games, undoubtedly have some guys play partial minutes in the last game. That would give the Croats in theory a better chance to get a result that final match...though would that make them more content with a tie against Canada?

A Belgium loss would pull the pack together, which isn't necessarily a good thing for Canada. Morocco would then be playing for a tie to go through, in the last game, and park the bus, and even a Canada tie may not work, if Belgium finally gets on track and beats Croatia in the third game. Morroco would have 5, Belgium 6 Canada 4.

A Belgium tie tomorrow would have them have something to play for in the last game, needing just a tie in the last game to be almost sure to be through, but a loss may boot them. It would also mean both teams don't add to their goal differential. It would mean Morroco would need to win the last game, to have a chance, so more wide open vs Canada.

Reminder first tie breaker is goal difference, next is goals for, and then head to head if it's just two teams tied. More complicated if three teams are tied.

Just hope all the other group games are low scoring as well.

Canada needs to take care of business and find a finish, of course, first and foremost, not get too cavalier at the back, as a tie tomorrow still has them in it.

When advancing with 2 points is still on the table, possible scenarios aren't particularly useful.

Just win. #### Croatia

Costa Rica leading Japan with 10 mins to go. Completely against the run of play.

[Swift]

Finishes 1-0. If Germany manage to beat Spain later then all teams in the group go into the final round on 3 points.

Which is why all final round games in same group are played at same time.

[GirlySports]

And even if Germany lose to Spain, they are not out.

[Enoch Root]

three halfs in, and Belgium continues to underwhelm

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Wow.

[Slava]

Is Lukaku injured?

[Swift]

I believe so, he was in the stands for the first game.
