They backed into the next round, but I'm sure they're happy they're still in it.
It's not NFL, you're not allowed block like that.
No they won't and good luck to them.
It's just funny to get through on fewer yellow cards
I knew it. Pathetic defeat. feck off Senegal
Japan nick it, fair play to them.
Japan coach is a genius!
If Mexico won even by one goal, Korea would have qualified with 3 pts only but a victory against Germany, though, yeah, tough one... nah, I still like this Korean team
they were disciplined and driven.Senegal were rubbish second half to be fair. Mane especially.
Belgium finishing second and then getting dumped out by Colombia.
I agree it's pathetic but I'm sure their fans won't care that they annoyed the rest of the world with this way.
Embarrassing from Japan that. Have to feel for Senegal... Going out on yellow cards. Brutal.
Belgium and England will both be wanting to win tonight. Japan are there for a spanking.
Delighted for Japan, everybody looked down on them, happy they've made it through, fingers crossed for them.
Getting through on fair play and politeness is such a Japanese way to get through.
Low quality game. Lot of kick and rush.
They won't care, and why should they?
The end of the Poland vs Japan game was farcical though. I wonder if the rules will change?
Delighted Japan are through.
Lawro: This is farcical... Its bad enough with VAR.... which I think is a good idea
What?
What?
Yes I believe he is.he may have predicted it
Can't wait until Japan get smashed in their next game. cnuts.
This happened to my junior team once. We also got eliminated on fewer throw-ins than the opposition once.
Why feel for them. They should have scored today at least.
No African team in the first KO stage, disaster.
So no African teams through? Shame. Always good to have at least one.
And Senegal started so well by beating Poland. Feck.
You have to feel for Senegal. That's a terrible way to go out.
Seriously, was the match rigged or sth? Senegal didn't look fussed at all about scoring. Spending forever to take a throw in in injury time, letting Ospina walk around with the ball, etc. etc.
For qualifying? I don't get it.
Why are the BBC pundits so adamant in calling Japan embarrassing? They just qualified doing what they had to.
Why didnt Senegal score? Or why didnt Poland try and attack to make it 2 nil?
Japan have nothing to push for in that situation.

Really poor performance all round.
Maybe it's better this way, instead of Senegal sneaking through and papering the cracks. Things need to improve with the African sides, it feels like they're getting further and further away from the European and South American sides.
Any gif of Japan wasting time?
He’s talking shite. “There has to be a better way to decide”. When points, GD, goals scored are all level what better way is there to decide? Yellow cards seems fair to me.
Honestly after that, hope Japan get absolutely battered in the next round. I understand you do what you must, but that's an embarrassment to the game. Losing and someone telling you that you're going through on yellow cards so you stop playing and take the 1-0 loss even though it could all change if Senegal scored all of a sudden. Don't like that at all
You're not wrongNigeria and Senegal could have qualified easily, but fecked it up in the last game.
In fairness it’s a joke to lose out on yellow card.
Would you prefer the lottery?
