Smashing game this

Super goal.

Serbia way too open for a team with something to protect, Embolo has been really good.

Advantage Switzerland again.

This is bonkers

Big Shaq :heart_eyes:

Will one goal for Cameroon still edge them above the Swiss on goals scored? That’s my reading of it currently.

Yeah I don’t think the Swiss will be nearly as open.

Yeah, although the Swiss have obviously given their goals scored a boost.

But Cameroon would go ahead if they got the 1 they’d need to go in front.

Great save Ederson!!

Joey could be dancing around the studio before the night is out!

It’s all to play for.

Serbia could still nick another, and while Cameroon haven’t threatened that much, at 0-0, they still have a chance.

Smashing renewal of the Kosovo derby. This game never disappoints.

Cameroon are the side with the motive to go and win there too. We’ve seen how much of a factor that can be in Tunisia v France, South Korea v Portugal and even *Japan v Spain.

*Although Spain nearly got themselves in a spot of bother there too.

It’s very very easily the best world cup of the ten I’ve watched

@Cheasty has there ever been a group stage even close to it for excitement?

This is up there as one of the games of the competition, I feel like it will be very disappointing when teams start playing for penalties in the knockouts rather than really having a go here.

Golden goal was worse though wasn’t it? Was that only in for euro 2000

Maybe first to score wins unless the others come back and win. So first goal in et is worth 2 basically

What corrupt decisions have taken place in these games?

That only adds to the drama

Golden goal theoretically makes it exciting but teams were still fairly conservative so it didn’t actually make a difference.

Wasn’t that there for 96-02?

Don’t think there’s anything you can do really if a team decide they don’t want to play. Can’t really blame them either.

I think it was there for the 2002 World Cup as well. I have a memory of Senegal beating Sweden by virtue of golden goal in the round of 16. I can’t remember any of Euro 2000. It was a great tournament though I believe. An awful pity Ireland messed up qualification for it in Macedonia.
