Guys, where is the thread?

54 minutes gone and no thread for this World Cup match??


Anyway, it's 0-0, England playing at a lower pace than in the Croatia
match and Ghana set up with most of their players behind the ball,
playing for a draw or a 1-0 on the counter attack.

Nobody should fall asleep in these matches, remember Egypt - Republic of Ireland from 1990 or England - Algeria from 2010. These games make the
World Cup. It's sitting through these matches that makes us appreciate
matches like England - Cameroon 1990 or Argentina - France 2022!

It's 2:30 in the afternoon here, though I had to get a coffee to stay
awake :-)

Although a few times a motorcycle comes out of that bus and the game
becomes mildly interesting.

It finished 0-0. Ghana had a threatening counter attack that could have produced a penalty for a tackle from behind and England hit the bar with
a header but no breakthrough for either side.

Given both teams won their first games this really wasn't a bad result
for either and probably sees both sides through to the next round.

Yes, 4 points is almost surely enough to qualify as a best *third*.
However, there is a scenario in which all teams end up on 4 points in
the group (Panama-Croatia draw, wins for Croatia over Ghana and Panama
over England in MD3) and one of them ends up in fourth place.

Let us see what is the Panama and Croatia yields.

For some strange reason, Ghana is the only team currently on 4 points
that does not qualify 100% of the time in my sims (it qualifies 99.98%
of the time).
