    31 games without a 0-0.... 33 games left in the tournament.
  • Daily Mail is reporting that the Argentine players will pick the squad for their Nigeria game rather than Sampaoli

    Most reports suggest Messi picks the team anyway. So no difference really
    Messi is 100% the reason Icardi never makes the squad so it wouldn't surprise me. Although surely he's not stupid enough to not pick Dybala
  • 1-1, decent game this

    1-1 here, 1-1 later and 2-1 wins for Poland and Colombia in the next set of matches...

    All four teams on four points, zero goal difference, four goals scored...

    Poland - 1 yellow card
    Japan - 1 yellow card
    Senegal - 2 yellow cards
    Colombia - 1 red card, 3 yellow cards

    Japan. Their players seem genuinely surprised when they get the ball near the box, like they don't know what to do with it.

    Apart from the guy who scored and hit the crossbar, I guess.

    Okay, and maybe that guy. And the guy who just scored.

    gotta say if it ends in a draw here it makes tonights game much more interesting - it'll be loser goes home
  • There has been some proper crap keeping in this WC. Just, simple basic stuff is being done really badly all too often. You can't even blame the ball or the conditions. Just really poor decision making.

    Both teams drawing wouldn't be the worst result for either side.

    The teams will have to win their final game anyway if they at least win or draw here.

    My pre tournament bet for this group was Colombia 1st, Poland 2nd.

    After the opening games I believe the only way I could win would be both games today finishing level, then Colombia/Poland both winning Thursday.
    All finish on 4 points and rely on gd.

    1 and a bit games gone and I'm spending the money in my head, lol

    It's so bizarre that a Russian world cup crowd would be so dominated by south americans when you consider this is Poland playing.
  • Open game this one.

    Just thinking about the pure logistics and proximity of it more than anything else.
