Yeah came off after half an hour, don't think he was fit enough to start.
He's a good player on bad form. I've never heard him to be considered World class so not sure how he can be overrated.
Man Japan truly is like watching a pub team. You d think they have nothing to play for. Yaaaaawn.
On purpose too
Japan has been dire today. If I were the coach I'd have them gambling to grab a goal instead of relying on Colombia to win. Tense scenes at both stadiums, as it stands.
Mane has been poor.
So Japan is qualified as long as Senegal doesn't draw or win basically?
Yes.
Will be problem for Colombia in knock outs as he is their heartbeat although Quintero has also been in good form.
They cannot concede more goals though.
Should be out if they get a worse result than Senegal, unless Colombia loses.
No.
If both scores stayed as they are but Japan got 3 late bookings Senegal would go through
Imagine they over-commit, concede and and go out cos of that goal.
Its 3 mins left. They kinda are in a weird position (although resting all their players should have been punishment for them)
Senegal can also lose 1-2, 2-3, etc...
No, if Poland score another, they're out.
That armband crap is annoying too. Blatant time-wasting.
If Japan concede another, Senegal go through.
That's a degree of "complexity" for ranking that goes beyond whatever I imagine
.Maybe you should see more reaction during the season when he scores some beauty, people call him one of the best.
Gotta say, of the three, I wouldn't wanna play Senegal because of their athleticism. Even if they're actually completely crap and have shit football brains the pace and power would trouble us and they'd be the exact type of team that we'd lose against. Much like Iceland for their intensity two years ago.
That's a degree of "complexity" for ranking that goes beyond whatever I imagine
It's the finest of fine margins
Never seen anything like it
I see the point, but I'm not even talking about over-committing. They've had some possessions where the player has just stood on the ball and then booted it up the field when pressed. I understand that they don't want to concede, but it's bizarre.
Should be a direct yellow card. As simple as that
No chance that this Izquierdo lad from Brighton or whats his club could have been worse than Muriel.
Colombia look so much more dangerous when Senegal pour forward. They’ll slice through a lot of teams who leave space between the lines in the knock-out stages (should they progress).
I really hope Senegal score now, cowardly tactics from a dinosaur of a manager. Awful team selection as well.
Actually want a Senegal goal now lol
This Japan game
Please Senegal score... Japan pretty embarassing how they're seeing it out despite the risk and them losing
Look at those lazy fecking Poles pressing Japan, disgraceful, hope they dock all of those fecking cnuts and never play them again. Pathetic.
In the case of the Japan game, I'd just release the bears.
Wouldn't catch anybody walking about then.
Wouldn't catch anybody walking about then.
Has anyone ever qualified for the next round of the World Cup in a more pathetic manner than Japan are right now?
It's understandable, it's Poland who're pathetic here.
Poland have won.
Imagine going out on yellow cards.
I don't think Japanese will care much will they ?
Then again, we had Scholes keeping the ball for 10 minutes in that game at Blackburn
I'm disgusted.
feck anime.
feck anime.
You can't blame a team playing for qualifications man... if it was your country, you would just pray to God right now. Plenty of teams won the world cup with some of the most dreadful tactics ever as well.
France, arguably
