Dreadful defending all round, yer man should have headed out for a corner. Schoolboy stuff.

I assume when the Africans lads win this one it will also be because it’s ‘too hot’? Or is that only the excuse when they beat European teams?

I didn’t hear that as an excuse when Senegal beat Poland.

It was used repeatedly when Nigeria beat Iceland.

England is a fascist country.

Russia did

Bob Paisley liberated Rome in 1944. Tell us about this Russian campaign in Italy
that you’re on about.

Level again, Honda. Japan are a nice team. Senegal are very one dimensional

2-2

Naive by the African goalie.

Colombia-Poland should be good, both need a win

If either side lose, they’re out. A draw means both sides will still be in control of their fate in the last game.

Poor Stephanie Roche could do with a Strepsil.

2-2 is a pretty good result for Japan and Senegal. It means that if Poland and Colombia draw, it would effectively force the final games to be two direct head to heads with one team qualifying from each.

But if Poland v Colombia is a 0-0 or 1-1 draw, Poland and Colombia would each have to win by two goals to overhaul their opponents in the group.

A 4-way tie on 4 points would be mildly amusing

A 2-2 draw this evening and then 2-1 wins for Poland and Colombia would be great

A 2-2 draw between Poland and Colombia followed by 2-1 wins in the final games for both Poland and Colombia would see all four teams finish with identical records and the qualifying positions being decided by disciplinary records.
