FU: Gijón 2 possibility tonight?
The last game with third place implications has just started. A winner in the Algeria-Austria game would advance, with the loser going home, but if Austria and Algeria draw then both will advance at the expense of Iran.
I'll be curious to see how this plays out -- Gijónesque, or an otherwise-normal match. I would think that Algeria, as the victim of the Disgrace of Gijón, would look to win as a point of national pride (particularly seeing that their opponent is one of the perpetrators from the original incident).
For those uninitiated, PAK has you covered from 12 years ago to the day: https://bluegraysky.com/forum/index.php?id=229769
Im just checking YT for highlights now
Looks like a very very last last second header from the end line back to the 6 to another header for a goal?
However, doesn't Austria winning mean they face Spain next ... I'm not sure I understand the bracket correctly.
Heartbreak for Iran.

Winning goal and second place ruled out for offside last night. Finish 3rd.
Last kick/header of the game tonight sends them home. Crazy.
