Argentina 3-0-0 (+3) 9

Nigeria 1-1-1 (EV) 4

Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-0-2 (EV) 3

Iran 0-1-2 (-3) 1


This group largely seems like a tune up for Argentina.  Throw in their Round of 16 match-up against Group E and there is not a team in the tournament that has an easier path to reach the quarters.  They still have to take care of business though but with all that talent and playing so close to home I do not foresee much of a problem.  The real question is who finishes second.

 

Bosnia-Herzegovina is making their World Cup debut this afternoon and they really could not have asked for a much better road out of the group stage.  The one downside is playing Argentina first, but if they can avoid ruining their goal differential in their first match they are in great shape.  Nigeria certainly could pose some issues for them but in the end I think Bosnia-Herzegovina gets out of their group in their maiden voyage.  It would not stun me if they beat the Group E winner to reach the quarters but I have them falling to the Swiss in the Round of 16.

I'm not sure how healthy Bosnia-Herzegovina is but they have several classy players. Most of their team is playing at some level in Europe. They shouldn't be viewed as a weak number second team in the group. Iran are most likely the punching bags and Nigeria looked undisciplined against team USA.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      While I really hope things pan out for the young man, sometimes you've got to make a calculated guess on your returns. I wanted so bad to see us use our first round pick on a LB, C or TE this season, but I think this one injury changes everything. I might suggest taking the best and the second best OTs available in the draft with our first and second round picks. The injury to Icky really makes the first one a good choice and an affordable one. And Moton, who is long in the tooth, needs someone in the wings behind him.  This also means that BC is going to need to get a contract for this upcoming season both as a starter at LT and to train the younger player behind him. Also it means that we need to extend a solid contract to Cade Mays and lock him down as our Center for the next four years. Maybe Icky can recover fully and be a starting LT again, but the odds aren't in his favor. Maybe he could be back in line to play as a guard right as our current starters' contracts wind down. It's not pretty having to spend all your picks and money on the line, but it seems to be the wise investment in light of everything.

      Unfortunate situation.  if one of the top LTs fall in the draft I think it’s a no brainer draft pick. Then if icky returns he can move to guard and replace one of our highly paid guards that are here now.

      I dont really expect anyone to have any character or values when the system doesn't. I would respect those who did though. College Football is losing what little interest I had in it. I wasn't against giving the athletes some control but whatever this system is will kill it over time.
