This.
It'd have been nice to see all those teams go all out for the win, but given what could have happened, it's no surprise at all that they all played in a certain way at various times during the match. Japan were just the most blatant and it paid off for them.
People are really salty with Colombia and Japan, that's how fútbol works. Look at the history of World Cups fans.
Honestly, at this rate, if the #5 defenseman stretched his arm out and handballed the ball away from the goal, got the red card and the penalty would've been a lot more admirable than him chilling at the post.This will be Senegal's legacy in the 2018 World Cup:
Lmao
Seems this whole thing was made up so the US can qualify every time.Remember this is what the world cup allocation is going to be like in the future
New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, Tonga...
There are at least a dozen countries in Oceania my dude.
I really don't understand the logic of the Japanese coach. Senegal were still in the game and he didn't give a damn. Just accepted defeat today.
Same for Sénégal and Tunisia and yet I keep hearing this nonsense about european teams (France in particular) "stealing" all the african players.
All born in France, bar Mandanda and Umtiti who've been here since they were like 2. Your point ?
I hate stanning for the Americans because they are jerks, but the United States has been consistently competitive in the past few World Cups. If we cared about competition I am sure they would have shown up a better performance than the African teams.
Shouldn't those players choose to play for African teams if they really feel they are Africans? If the European countries aren't obligating them, it's the player's choice.
Because if Colombia is against Belgium, we already draw them. Seems logic. Yes.
edit: People is this thread are really salty with Latinoamerican teams. I wonder why?
edit2: maybe because...? The so call UEFA superiority is failing?
CONMEBOL: 4/5 = 80%
UEFA: 10/14 = 71%
Lol. You really think it's impossible?
Remember, you're talking about England.
Japan completely stop playing the damn game. That was ridiculous. And people defend this crap.
All we wanted was Japan to try to do anything, to attack, to at least make an attempt, but those last minutes we saw a team that decided not to play futebol anymore. Completely ridiculous, and I hope Japan gets destroyed by England or Belgium.

Even game. England beating Tunisia and Panama doesn't mean much to me.
I would say tonight would be the be a good indicator of where England are but that depends on which Belgian side is on the pitch.
They're as european as you can be.
Some people really have a hard time with the fact that you can be black and european in here lol.
Because 0-1 defeat qualified them while 0-2 defeat was sending them home. This was after a period in which Poland was threatening and almost scored the second goal. He risked and the risk paid.
Can we just start banning people who try to start this bullshit Continent vs. Continent bullshit please?
It's not banter. It's not funny. It's just fucking nonsensical spam at this point.
Australia moved to Asia.
Oceania is New Zealand + sand.
Essentially, New Zealand is now guaranteed a spot. Which is fine.
Colombia's best defender is a fucking liability, and I say that as a Spurs fan, also the GK is an Arsenal reserve GK. Kane will have a field day.
Seeing this goal, Senegal deserves to lose.This will be Senegal's legacy in the 2018 World Cup:
Lmao
Unfortunately, the number of spots Africa and Asia get has little to do with developing football.
CAF has 55 members, AFC has 47. That's almost half of the votes for FIFA president. João Havelange began pandering to them as a way to keep getting reelected, and Blatter followed suit. Now, I think that they deserve to have their spots, I think UEFA's 14 spots are worse in terms of representation. But like all things in FIFA, even good deeds have an awful reason to happen.
Glad to see CONMEBOL doing better than UEFA.
UEFA should have 6 fix spots only (Italy, Germany, Portugal, Spain , France and Netherlands) and the other spots just be distributed among the other regions.
Japan's number one priority was to get through group. They did what they had to do. Like the arguments against them doing that are absurd. Blame Poland for deciding a 1-0 victory was good enough for them.
Colombia or Belgium, England doesnt have any chance because its England.
How are they supposed to improve if you kick them out. Iron sharpens iron
Yes I understand that but if they lost 1-0 and Senegal drew Japan were out?
Joking right? CONCACAF have 3.5 spots already (of 41) to CAF's 5 for 56 teams. Most of CAF would beat most of CONCACAF.
OFC is without Australia. Just New Zealand and other pacific nations.
And no south east asia. -That's Asia.
Man that was a WILD two games. Was awesome watching both at once. I feel like Japan should have gone for it, considering that one Senegal goal would have sent them home, but whatever they did worked.
User warned: Inappropriate language.
Ok so both teams are level on points, goals scored, goals against, and head-to-head. Besides drawing a winner out of a hat, what would you suggest they do?
You had those swiss players the other day doing the albanian eagle so they feel albanian yet they are playing for switzerland
