Panama also had a player run past the white line and blocked the US's free kick at close range in 2015's Gold Cup consolation, so their knowledge of the rules seems sketchy (the official allowed it, even more bafflingly)

the red-white-yellow-blue of the crowd makes the stands look like a mondrian fed through a shredder

I thought the accepted view was that contra motson and his 'african ignorance' line (I mean how cld he have possibly been actually confused about free kicks?), he was just time-wasting to avoid a heavy defeat and the repercussions that wld come from the mobutu regime. this panama shit though

they fell victim to fake news.
japan-senegal was v enjoyable, senegal the good sort of burly and it's pleasing to see japan actually get some results bc they have played some decent stuff in past WCs no avail

senegal are a mourinho team of hurdlers and japan are wengeresque technicians surprised and unhappy with ilx pref for former

Even if Japan got a lucky break to have play a 10-man Colombia. xp

As in yeah I am happy for Japan - think they won a match at the WC for the first time? Still want Colombia and Senegal to go through.

Just caught five minutes of this in an Eastbourne pub. Atrocious. Might be the first 0-0

colombia were disgraceful in that game, but it was v entertaining
― ogmor, Sunday, 24 June 2018 18:31 (five years ago) link
This match is pretty good! Colombia are playing some good stuff after a slow start.

This was probably answered here already, but no way am I trying to load in 2000+ answers on this shitty laptop, but if it's a draw with Eng and Bel how do they decide the group winners?

Disciplinary record.

Which I’m afraid might do for Senegal as well.
It’s a terrible way to decide it.
