This is the kind of World Cup 'day' that I love.

Full of fixtures and teams you wouldn't normally see, none of the higher profile sides and they all have some sort of chance.

I'm going draw, Senegal and draw but am rooting for Japan, Senegal and Egypt.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Japan, my second team when there's no Holland. They're very technical, bags of energy and stamina. But they're not prolific scorers and will probably struggle physically.

The other games... Meh.

 

[Kingellesar]

Colombia, Draw, Russia is what I think

Would like Japan, Draw, don't care draw maybe, 5-5 entertaining thriller

 

[danielneeds]

I really like the Senegal side on paper. The spine of Koubailly, Gueye, Mane and Keita Balde is really strong. Looking at their form though, I suspect they'll be another frustratingly under-cooked, tactically poor African side at a big tournament.

Columbia, Poland and Egypt for me today.

Will Sanchez be in the starting 11 for Columbia? If so looking forward to seeing him play.

 

[tototoner]

Why is James not starting

 

[Shadydan]

WTF is Phil Neville talking about Sanchez may struggle playing in a back four, he's literally been playing in a back four all season you fucking muppet

He’s so stupid I’m surprised he remembers to breathe

 

[wirE]

Quite the impressive sub bench Colombia got. Mina, Rodriguez, Barrios, Zapata and Bacca

That's racist.

 

[tiger666]

Vamos Colombia!!!

 

[tiger666]

Why is James not starting

Calf injury

 

[werty]

Well that's a start.

 

[Hazelton]

Hahaha wow!

Have to say Davinson did very poorly there.

 

[werty]

Sanchez was pretty poor there.

 

[Danners9]

Drama!!

 

[Shadydan]

Didn't need VAR for that, Sanchez caught.

 

[yankspurs]

That was absolutely abysmal from Sanchez and it caused a straight red from his teammate. Yikes.

 

[tiger666]

Omg lol. Crazy
