At MBS for the match. Think I can safely say this one was over before the hydration break. KSA is awful defensively.

They do

Until they decide they don’t know how to stretch the field vertically anymore and end up with 70% possession and a shootout loss

How did Saudi and Cap Verde end up in the same group. They should be have been the same pool during the drawing

Saudi Arabia was one of the weaker teams in pot 3, while Cape Verde barely missed out on pot 3 and was in pot 4 with the weakest teams and the playoff qualifiers.

It was a lucky draw for sure, as if Spain needed it.

I’d wager Spain flops just as much as Brazil. Might be behaving more bc they know these refs aren’t falling for it, but they also have cucurella who is a flop master

Speaking of him..

Looking over the knockout round format, obviously with the math of 32 teams now half of the group winners get to play a 3rd place team in the R32, and the other half have to play 2nd place teams. And some of the 2nd place teams get to play other 2nd place teams rather than a 1st place team. These are pretty big advantages. How was it decided which groups got matched up?
