• WC2026 Group J Finale

    From Futbolmetrix@futbolmetrix@yahoo.com to rec.sport.soccer on Sat Jun 27 22:42:20 2026
    From Newsgroup: rec.sport.soccer

    About 36 minutes in:

    JOR - ARG 0-2
    ALG - AUT 0-1


    So far, no Disgrace of Kansas City. They are doing this properly.

    After the afternoon and evening results, the equation is simple: A
    draw, and both Austria and Algeria are through. Any other result, the
    winner goes through and the loser is out.

    Iran eagerly watching on. Scotland and Korea are out.

    Biscotto back on after Algeria takes advantage of a ball-hits-the-corner-flag-and-stays-in-play thingie.

    But, to be honest, they are not biscottoing at all. Let's see if this
    attitude holds as the 90th minute approaches.

    Looks like it. So it's not a situation where both teams want to lose.
    Actually none of them wants to lose. They might settle for a draw given
    that Algeria wants it and Austria is indifferent (as long as they don't
    lose).
    A pity, it would have been much more interesting if both teams had had
    the interest of losing.

    Rhythm appeared to be blander at the beginning of the second half, but
    Sabitzer puts Austria back up in the 56'. The mother of all crumbling biscottos?

    Mahrez equalizes immediately for Algeria. They're doing the biscotto
    the proper way.

    Truly excellent biscottoing. My nerves could actually do
    with some slightly clearer indications that everyone
    really subscribes to the biscotto. They do donrCOt they?!

    Maybe that will be the ultimate revenge for Gijon? Algeria pretends
    that they are biscottoing until the 90th minute, and then suddenly
    they turn on the heat to produce an injury-time winner?

    The noble and honourable Algerians surely will be
    beyond such petty thoughts.

    As an aside, I doubt FIFA are unhappy with Iran being
    eliminated.

    And then have to play Spain ? Not likely. And in the end it didn't
    happen.
