Would be happy to see Colombia sending Poland home. Always so painful to watch at tournaments after they trash San Marino and Moldova in the qualifiers.
Day 6: Colombia vs Japan, Poland vs Senegal and Russia vs Egypt
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
No, fair play points (red cards and yellow cards). Then, a decision by a FIFA Committee I think.
I'm watching the cricket what'd he say now?Evra.
What was the controversy on the 2nd goal? Did the player come back without ref's permission?
How was the Senegal match? Just got in from work. So happy they won!!
Also a bit more excited about Egypt vs Russia after finding they've never faced each other before.

M.Salah will be bullied out of the game within 20 minutes against these Russians
Wakanda forever
Basically 1 in a thousand goal. Hard to see how Senegal deserved the win, two of the jammiest goals you're likely to see. Piss poor attacking wise with Mane being the worst of the big players out there so far.
Pity we were a shambles, though. A goal-less draw would've been fair.
If I had a bit more distance I'd laugh at that referee's decision to let Niang enter the pitch.
I didn't think Senegal were much better than Poland, they barely created anything all game.More often than not that was the kind of game that would end in a dull 0-0.
The ref let the player back on when Poland had the ball in the middle of the pitch, nothing wrong with that. It's not his fault the players fecked up.
Exactly this
See what you did there
and it worked. Still, just for clarity, you do realise we played some of the best counter-attacking football in the last Euro and were a deflected Sanches goal away from reaching semis (with Wales awaiting)? At least stick to facts pal.
Nobody could stop Salah last season?
One team did it twice
One team did it twice
Was just thinking the same thing. Ashley Young had Salah in his back pocket.Nobody could stop Salah last season?

Yeah, Swansea.
... as well as Manchester United.
Alongside, yet slightly lagging behind, Sir Garreff, this man has my complete and total respect and trust.
Love this World Cup so far!!BBC have two studios? One with a view of that beautiful street in Moscow and another one at the stadiums, wherever the games are?
That national anthem, though.

What did I do?
You scored 2 goals in the group at last Euros. I understand a small teams scraping through, my NT will sit deep in defence against Latvia, but Poland has always been (near) top 10 in FIFA rankings, as useless as it is, still shows something. I'm sure you've done it several times but I can't remember Poland scoring more than one goal in a match at a major tournament.That one girl in front of the Egyptian dude looked like she'd rather be anywhere else.
Poland are constantly rubbish in these big tournaments. Stroll through qualifications with seeming ease, then become one of the worst, and dullest, teams in the actual competition.
Couple of work colleagues are going to be devastated, both by the result and by what is waiting for them tomorrow.
It’s not really true. We didn’t have to qualify for Euro 2012 as a host and were predictably crap, we didn’t qualify for the last World Cup and were quite good and entertaining at the last Euro.
The pre-2010 teams were just rubbish.
So one between Colombia and Poland is going out. Group H looks interesting.
Maybe because in the last 30 odd years it's only 3/4 years since we've become any good. Today we bottled it.What did I do?
Both countries have always been the same. The North African countries all do this and Tunisia have always been the worst. Senegal are the worst in West Africa for it
Senegal already achieved that before Ghana when they made the qtrs in 02
Seems like a very loud atmosphere here
Golovin has started bright again he looks dangerous.

Russia started well
Colombia off to a complete shocker, jesus.
Senegal, quite the opposite. Definitely the best African entry, good win.....I still don't understand though how some media were listing Poland as a 'dark horse'. They're rubbish and have been rubbish for quite some time.
All Russia, here! Surprised by how fiery they've started, home fans are really rallying them on. I'll say 1-2 Egypt.

Russia will win this.
I have nothing against Poland, but after you see them trying to play football, you can only hope they get eliminated as soon as possible so you don't hate to experience that again. pure torture.
Mario Fernandes looks a decent right back. I'm surprised he's still at CSKA Moscow.
Egypt should look for Salah more.
Egypt are poor, no idea how Salah managed to drag them to this WC.
Elneny is such a nothing player.
So far Zhirkov is handling Salah almost as well as Young did.
Salah looks like he's still a bit anxious about his shoulder to me. Rest of the team looking a bit poor and nervous as well.
Then again, Egypt tend to be quite a cagey team under Cuper.

That or Zhirkov is just bullying him like Young did.
Why is that Egypt playing taking so long to shoot?
