So here's who we want to track for the round of 32 and 16....

Posted by ijustkrushalot <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=ijustkrushalot' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on June 20, 2026, 10:40:32, in reply to "World Cup Matchday 2 thread "

For our Round of 32 opponent:
- TL/DR, if there's a winner between Bosnia and Qatar we're almost certainly playing them.
- there are 425 permutations of where 8 out of 12 3rd place teams can be sent based on what group's make it.
- in 329 out of 330 situations where Group B's third place team advances, they will play the USA.
- 4 points will almost certainly get you through, and Bosnia and Qatar each have 1... so if there is a winner in that game we almost certainly play them July 1 in Santa Clara.
- Beyond that it gets a bit nebulous, but the opponent WILL come from groups E,F,I or J

Round of 16:
Most likely opponent is the winner of Group G. Everyone is tied with 1 point right now, but Belgium and Egypt are the most likely, whoever does the best against Iran and New Zealand in the next week will get G1... so watch those games.

The Winner of G1 will play another 3rd place team. If Czechia (vs. Mexico) or South Africa (vs. Korea) can pull off a miracle win, they'll likely be the other opponent. That's not likely. 3rd place from groups H, I, or J are likely to take this spot... very slim chance of 3rd place from Group E.

That’s about as easy a path as I’d think is theoretically feasible

you can even get them a bit from behind if it's not excessive.

going back to the one you're talking about (in the box around the 50 minute mark where the czech defender and the south african striker made contact?)- the defender got to the spot first. the striker when through the defender's back to try to get the ball. foul on the attacker, not the defender.
