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

This match is pretty good! Colombia are playing some good stuff after a slow start.

Agree with you about Eastbourne pubs imago

fkn hell Cuadrado!!

Ally McCoist is clearly angling for a travel documentary series on ITV2.

He needs the work.

Was impressed with the architecture review tbh.

yes!!

beautifully worked

Fkn easy. Poland are shit.

statuesque polish defence

imago wtf colombia have been superb

truly disappointing, Poland. They seemed to have an excellent squad on paper.

what a jump

LOL you can take the goalkeeper out of Arsenal but...

Man I so want an Eng - Colombia round of 16.

the way mccoist recited his notes on maxim gorky when he was in nizhny novgorod was hilarious & champion's "you wear your research very lightly don't you?" was perfect

I must have seen the 5 minutes where Poland were just knocking it around at the back

Pity he has to talk about football really. (xp)

that's not a corner?

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.

Many xposts japan won games in 2002 and 2010 both times they reached the second round we aint talking steeple sibderby wanderers here

Poland are pure irredemable stodge stodz.

Cool thanks Bananaman

watching japan go out to paraguay on penalties was one of the great frustrations of 2010, wld be a fun team to have against england

Unbelievable that this team are ranked higher than Spain and seeded instead of them.

Get Milik on imo.

Good riddance, Poland.

man

how now falcao

Delighted for him tbh.

yeah

Poland almost reached the semi-finals of the Euro 16 o_O

i heart colombia imo

Wow

so so good

what a fkn pass for the 3rd

wow what a pass

omgggggg
