    Neymar 'limped' out of training apparently.

    Brazil have probably increased their chances of winning if true... Not denying he's not a good player yet reckon a lot has to revolve around him with that team

    Similar to Messi and the Argies.

    Why is Ally McCoist co-commentating on the Poland v Senegal game when Scotland have no interest in tournament football?

    This is his 3rd or 4th game, actually like him and found him very informed, prefer him to Dowie

    Player should not have been called onto pitch so close to the play.

    If we get Senegal in the 2nd Round I hope we play Kyle Walker at Centre Back, these Senegalese lads are rapid

    Proof that the FIFA World Rankings are a joke

    Seriously start getting the cards out for a dive!!

    They're checking VAR for penalties yet when that Senegal player went down you could clearly see there was a dive!!

    A reaction to last night. WWE moves being missed is a total embaressment for FIFA.

    Group H will be interesting later in the week.

    Winner of Japan Senegal will be pretty much guaranteed to go through.

    Loser of Poland Colombia pretty much guaranteed to be out.

    There’s a Belgian bar here in Calpe offering a free beer every time Belgium score today. Guess where I’ll be a 5 o’clock?

    I can guess you’ll be pissed by 6:45.
    Sadly there was no room when we arrived. No surprise, I guess.

    For me - we should try to win our group. Find our rhythm and keep it going. If it is better finishing second, tough, you don't try to finish second, you have a winning attitude which you shouldn't try turning off and on like a tap!

    How could I when the game didn't kick off until 5pm here?

    Well said. Winning against good teams, e.g. Belgium, needs to become a habit, an expectation for the players.

    I think Senegal will beat Japan and draw with Colombia at worst, Japan will get stuffed by Poland, and Poland do no better than a draw with Colombia, meaning it will be Senegal and probably Poland going through.

    I think Poland are overrated. Done little of note for ages, got some very good players, mind

    Big upsets today.

    Hope Egypt can beat Russia to keep group A interesting, otherwise the last round of games will be a non event and i'd like to see Salah do well after his champions league final misery.
