IbanezJem Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Poland vs Saudi Arabia. I`m not going to lie to you, this would be the kind of game I would normally skip. But Saudi Arabia were very watchable - hate the regime, not the players - and Poland were... well... they need a win. Can their talisman deliver against the weakest opposition he`s faced since childhood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Looking like a tough away match for Poland based on the ever-so-slightly partisan crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Wow, 3-1 to Poland after 20 minutes! Admittedly that is the yellow card count, but it`s a base to work from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Poland sticking at it has paid off. Saudi`s energy and possession without a purpose given a timely lesson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Surprise penalty decision, or at least a surprise to anyone who`s seen football before 2022. Another awful pen which is far less surprising - how many of those now in this tournament? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
