Uruguay Vs Mexico is on. If the game ends tied, France is out, otherwise the loser will tie France in points (if France wins)

they play the final games at the same time to keep the other teams in the groups in the dark about the scores so teams dont intentionally lose or not try and all that

Yup, although they end up knowing anyway LOL but its not the same thing as going into the game already knowing what you need to do

Its funny though that in most cases, the top 2 teams in the group just need a tie to go through... So they could even arrange it, I mean, why bother risking a loss if you can "win" with 0-0? Just stand there for 90 minutes and do something else 😛

Well, the thing is if you get the 1st place in the group you get to the play the 2nd place of another group. Take Group A for example, Mexico gets through with a draw, but have an incentive to get a win because if they draw with Uruguay, they will probably take on Argentina in the 2nd round.
 
Mexicans just hit the crossbar!

Uruguay counter attack is dangerous too. This is shaping up to be a good game.

while France is done that wasn't a red card, he went up normally and if you watch the reply his arm simply slid up the other dudes and around his shoulder and caught him in the face
