    Handily Group H finishes before our group, as we won’t want to face Columbia in the next round

    This could make it very interesting.
    Belgium and England both trying to win to avoid Colombia (if they win the group).
    Cant see it myself based on today Japan will ease past Poland and win the group.

    Loser of England v Belgium to play Winner of Senegal v Columbia IMO

    Calm yourselves down, let's not get too worried about meeting them in the second round, Colombia haven't even got out of their group yet. They (quite likely) still need to beat Senegal.

    England win against Belgium and Senegal / Japan both draw their last games would be nice

    Means we get Japan in the 2nd Round

    Fuck me!!... Ospina injured again!!

    The bloke is made of glass. I dread to think what he would be like against a decent attack.
    Seems like every time Poland have had a chance he's gone down injured and needed the physio straight away after

    Almost like he's trying to disrupt the Polish momentum

    Poland by far the worst team I've seen so far.

    Surprised he didn’t break his ankle making the tip over.
  • Gary nev got it bang on there’s no point trying to avoid anyone

    If we are going to win the World Cup (I don’t think we will ) then you just go out to win every game

    I think ze Germans will take some amount of positives from that amazing end to the game and win the World Cup because they just know how to win when it matters

    We have done what was needed we have beaten the two banana skin teams one with ease the other I typical England nervy fashion

    I think we will beat Belgium then its all in winner stays on and we will come up short

    But it will be a real experience for the young lions and my prediction will be we will win the Euros in two yrs time

    Poland by far the worst team I've seen so far.

    Least the likes of Morocco / Saudi Arabia / Panama have made a decent effort - Feels like Poland have just been going through the motions since getting to the World Cup

    No doubt that the Poles were awful but impressed by the Colombians tonight. Not sure i'd fancy playing them in the last 16

    Lewandowski has 55 goals for Poland, so it’s baffling how he and Poland can be so poor in this tournament

    So Japan only need a draw against already eliminated Poland to qualify. Would make Senegal v Colombia a knock out match.

    Or if they hear that Poland are winning against the Japanese then they could play out a draw and both go through.

    This isn't right is it ?

    Winner of G plays Runner Up of H
    Winner of H plays Runner Up of G

    So if Japan win H, they will play the loser of England v Belgium.

    So both England and Belgium will be trying to lose the game :smile:

    Depends; if Japan win 1-0 yet Senegal win 2-0 then the losers of England v Belgium will face Senegal.

    If Colombia and Japan win their games then Japan will top the Group meaning the losers of our gane will face Japan

    Thanks to their impressive win today; Senegal v Colombia can end in a draw with both advancing if Japan lose to Poland - Means the winners of our game will face Colombia

    Only way second place in our Group can face Colombia is if they win and Japan dont

    Has anyone else remarked on how much the Panama coach looks like an extra from Prisoner Cell Block H?
