FIFA WC 26 - Other Nations LIVE Match Thread ⚽

2:0 Mexico just like that.
 
Two changes for Mexico in the 66th minute. Luis Chavez and the competition's youngest player Gilberto Mora come on for Brian Gutierrez and Alvaro Fidalgo respectively.
 
Is that goal music in the stadium or being played by the broadcaster?
 
Raul Jimenez scores his first ever World Cup goal in the 67th minute for Mexico to extend their lead to 2-0. Roberto Alvarado with the assist.

The South Africa who qualified above Nigeria? The minnows will go all out as they have finally and deserved qualified. Every lower team that qualified did so ahead of a bigger nation.

Do you understand basic logic? Why would the teams ranked 33 to 48 be better than those ranked 1-32?
 
Nkosinathi Sibisi yellow carded in the 74th minute for South Africa for a foul, becoming the second South Africa player to receive one this match.
 
Two further changes for Mexico. Edson Alvarez comes on in the 76th minute for Erik Lira, earning his 100th cap for the side, as does Armando Gonzalez for Raul Jimenez.
 
Two changes for South Africa in the 77th minute. Evidence Makgopa and Oswin Appollis come on for Iqraam Rayners and Aubrey Modiba respectively.

FIFA rankings are flawed.

Why would the extra nations be worse when they qualified against seasoned nations who were regarded as shoe ins to make it? I don't like the expansion but every outside chance nation qualified against someone decent who has gone to world cups before or had a strong chance to make it.

It's been known for a year but that doesn't stop the prominent journalists from having a shriek horror moment. I don't like it but it's set now. They wanted their ads and they got it. The heat at the CWC gave them an alibi.

It’s nothing to do with FIFA rankings.

If you can’t see the obvious point I am making, then please do not respond further.
 
Well the reverse angle did show something of a karate chop. Stupidly done. Could also be he wanted to claw past the man. Don't really like the decision but a warning for the tournament to not do stupid shit.
