I know FIFA rankings are controversial but 6th for Poland is very impressive

I think Poland will drop to 7th place in the upcoming ranking. That will still give us a top seed for the World Cup draw to be held December 1st. As far as the controversy, when you stink for many years, and then start winning game after game, you jump up the standings very fast. Edited by blackhawkrush

Part 3:

 

Even with a loss, USA gets in if Panama loses against a solid Costa Rican team. But when Panama is awarded a goal that never crossed the line, USA's fate is sealed...

That was not a goal, a penalty probably for a trip, but a terrible call. I always wonder in this situation about a fix as Costa Rica had already qualified.

Yes, and also, they went back to deciding things with goal differential when teams are tied on points, which gives room for all kinds of craziness taking place. I guess 1982, Germany vs Austria was so long ago it can't happen again, right? :eyeroll:

Sandecja 1 Cracovia 1 :moon: Normally, getting a point away from home is a good thing. Not this time. While leading 1-0, Krakow sees Sandecja go down to ten men, and scoring the equalizer with three minutes left. :facepalm:

Lech 1 Wisla 1 :) Krakow can feel lucky getting out of Poznan with a point. Lopez quickly scored and the team decided to try and win this game 1-0. The plan failed in the 94th minute. :( Edited by blackhawkrush

My mother is currently watching Premier League soccer. I have a green Bayern Munich jersey that I don't wear anymore. I know. It's a different league. Same sport though. Edited by Boots
