Ugh this weird FIFA rule where the 'away' team can't just wear their away shorts with their home shirt so instead the home team has to wear their third or even fourth choice of shorts and socks. Happening in most of the games. Lots of money spent on kit designs the teams can't even wear.

genuinely enjoying the ESL commentators for FS1 on this match, it's all the fun of Mexi-Spanish commentary without feeling like I only understand every second or third phrase
also a lot of random stereotypical Japanese like "gambate!" and "Kagawa-san"

Colombia 0-1 Japan
Leon Osman
Former Everton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live
Japan need to be wary - Colombia's players are swarming the referee trying to get the numbers even.
It's absolute mayhem. It's end-to-end. Both teams are trying to counter- attack each other. Both sets of players are going down easily, a moment ago it looked like we had more players lying on the floor than standing.
Please tell me this isn't as good as Leon makes it out to be, stuck at work here.

It’s a bit of an exaggeration but a good game none the less.

Straight along the floor, right under the jumping wall. Excellent.

Never a foul that led to the free kick tho
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 19 June 2018 12:43 (five years ago) link
not sure i can remember a team playing for the foul as relentlessly as this

It wasn't a foul but it is what it is. Colombia have been good after a disaster start.

Colombia playing great with ten men (and no James). Good defense, esp. against Japan’s long passes.
― rb (soda), Tuesday, 19 June 2018 13:17 (five years ago) link
Japan really on top rn but no finishing. Colombia could still win or get a point.

Looks like an attacking Senegal lineup- Niang, Diouf, Mane and Sarr all starting. Poland playing Lewandowski and Milik together. If this is 0-0 I’d be surprised.

Poland have been pretty free scoring lately too
