The issues are further back

A potential Uruguay-Portugal second round game could be the worst game ever

Was thinking this earlier but didn't want to get bombarded with abuse The penalties were class tbf

It kind of is like. I doubt you'd be saying this if you'd watched them tonight, they're definitely good like. Tbh I think England could give anyone a game, in terms of winning or losing though, it's a tough one to call, but Columbia would be the last team from that group I'd want us to play. At the same time i doubt you and others would be saying they are good after the Japan game, it works both ways. I would. One game where they were missing their best player and down to ten men for 85 minutes doesn't change anything

When have you seen a team get a red card in the first 5 minutes and look any good? Their whole system of the three behind the striker which is the making of their team wasn't there against Japan

Playing with 10 men for almost the whole game is an absolutely massive disadvantage. It is a perfectly valid excuse

I didn't watch Colombia today but they looked like crap against Japan, leading me to believe Poland are just that bad. Also Senegal while athletic are incredibly naive as today's game showed. If we are as professional as i think we are neither of them concern me personally, if anything i think Japan are the best of the 3 so far. They were down to 10 men for 80 something minutes and their best player wasn't playing

Colombia

James

Where's that bloke that was calling him shite the other day?

James is one of the best footballers to watch around like

Feel sorry for Lewandowski tbh. He's tried really hard with the scraps he's got tonight

You guys really do not want to get Colombia in the last 16

Not fully fit and guess they thought they could win without him

Falcao looked absolutely shattered before that as well

Quintero is so good

Get in

Weird you've said this just as they started to play well

Surprised Quintero is on loan at River Plate from Porto. May not be suited to the European game but he's a really excellent footballer

With their best players fit and on the pitch there aren't too many better than Colombia

Excellent second half of the first half from Colombia. Falcao, Rodriguez, Cuadrado and Quintero all great

Grim if Colombia don't go through

Colombia look much better the last few minutes

Good pace to this

Didn't Maradona say something like "Messi, Gutierrez and nine others"
