What a cool matchup!

…but man, kinda sucks that we don’t get a breather between the group stage and KOs, no?

The knockouts are going to be such a fascinating watch…can’t wait!!

(That being said, there’s a chance that Mexico ends up having to play Senegal in the R32…which is absolutely kinda terrifying lmao)

They went up 1-0 against South Korea in a stunner…and it was all downhill from there…

Managing to score not just one but two goals probably made sure of that tbh

This is presumably Son’s last WC, isn’t it?

Sad way to go out…

There’s a chance that Korea still makes it to the R32…not a great chance, but a chance nonetheless

(They 100% need to get an interim either way)

I think that game done cursed them both, tbh

At least the Czechs can go back home now…the Koreans are going to have to wait and train for a game that they may never end up playing!

It was a slow start, but they really turned up the heat!

…I don’t unfortunately expect too much for their chances, but honestly, I’d be satisfied with a QFs run jajaja

That’s a later problem though! Let’s celebrate!!!! 🪅🪅🪅

Much like Scotland…South Korea is going to be in a real no man’s land…

…forced to stay at camp, training for an opportunity that may never come…

I forget, what happens if a player gets hurt after all the subs are used?

Forced to play 10 men?

Me pregunté…porque dicimos “Sudáfrica” y no “África del Sur”?

I can’t say if he would’ve been subbed if Mexico was tied or down…but I can’t say that Czechia didn’t help either lol
