Colombia have won the anthems hands down here.
I think Shay Brennan was the first banger to be capped for Eire in 1965. Eire got by for the first 40 years without selecting any bangers. The floodgates really opened though once the mould was broken.

Falcao wins the first psychological battle. Martin Johnson would approve. The Japs lay down like Brian O Driscoll.
Colombia have destroyed them here.
The Japs will all be required to commit hari kari at half time.
SCENES!
Penalty and sending off.
Cat among pigeons here for Colombians
Unreal.
Penalty!
Kamikaze defending there.
Colombians need to get behind the white line here and allow the penalty be taken.
They’ve given the Japs a sniff.
Red a tad harsh? Arm was up before the ball was struck …
Exciting start; absolutely woeful defending from the centre-back.
Game on boys.
Kagawa justifies his return.
Hon Japan
Thats a harsh enough sending off imo.
There will be murder in Colombia when the team gets home.
Nailed on red.
The refereeing has been superb in the tournament.
I think so… His arm was up before ball was struck — a peno and yellow card I think
Letter of the law, yes…
Was Davinson Sanchez involved?
