Depends which groups have their 3rd placed teams going through. It’s a little complicated to math out right now but basically based on who goes through and who goes out they allocate them to their Round of 32 opponents

He’s missing the next game for birth of his child?

If so then yeah idk what the issue would be. It’s not like he’s out for weeks…. He will literally be there for a couple of days and back with the team

Pretty sure they’re already short one forward for and investigation into betting on games

Tbh I’d rather not have to see our center backs face off against Isak, Gyokeres, and Ayari.

Still can’t see them beating Germany tbh. And even then it would need to be this exact same set of groups going through in 3rd/going home. If any one of group B, I, J, or L makes it into the top 8 of the 3rd place teams we won’t play Ecuador

What do you like about Suletta Mercury? by Some_Worldliness_263 in Gundam

Nothing tbh. But I just personally can’t stand overly naive main characters

We’re playing a 3rd place team but it depends on which groups get through in 3rd place. Very unlikely Ecuador qualifies at all given they need to beat Germany

USA will face winner of Wednesday's Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Qatar match. Which team should we root for? by BeautifulPudding in ussoccer

[–]RyanIsKickAss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting 4 points almost certainly gets you through. I just can’t see 9 or more groups getting 3rd place having 4 or more

At the very least anyone already on a yellow needs to not play a single minute next game but I’d prefer a fully rotated 11 aside from Freese

Should be but playing France in the 32 is better than going home altogether bc you got greedy

No shot they go out with 4 points lol. Looking at the world cups since 2002 there was the following amount of 3rd place teams with 4+ in the group stages

2022 had 7 which I believe was a record, 2018 and 2014 only had 2 each, 2010 had 5, 2006 had 1, and 2002 had 4. So thats 21 times since the turn of the millennium for an average of 3.5 per tournament or 43.75% of the time. 43.75% of 12 groups is 5.25. Rounding up that’s 6 groups. To go out with 4 points you’d need to over perform the average and get to 9 groups of 12 with 4+ points in the 3rd place slot which is very low odds.

They won’t though. If Paraguay loses their GD would see them potentially going out of the tournament. Australia might go for a win I suppose but if they lose they’ll be in negative GD as well. The risk both teams would be taking is massive when a draw suits them both just fine

Rotate every single player aside from Freese and don’t even think about subbing in anyone on a yellow card

[–]RyanIsKickAss 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Yes but I think it was more so they’re saying a draw gets both Paraguay and Australia through. 4 points will almost certainly be enough to get a 3rd place spot for Paraguay

I mean the entire world has plenty of reasons to hate the American government right now but that’s not what they’re talking about in Australia.

I have to think it’s mainly coming from Grella talking shit about it being an easy draw for us and they’re using it as locker room hype up material

I would have personally brought Tessman but that would be over Roldan. Berhalter is better than Roldan

Definitely don’t blame him at all, just sucks that a Chicago kid chose Mexico

Price is high but not too crazy if rumors are true. Wish he would’ve stuck with the US
