Certainly don’t want to face this Colombian team.

Agreed, when they are on their game they are as good as any team in the tournament. Would prefer us to get japan, i think they would really struggle with out set pieces.

Considering Sweden are playing Mexico, they'd only have to win 1-0 to overturn the GD as it'll be +1 for the Swedes and -1 for the Mexicans.

Whether they'd win via the fair play rule is a different story,

Yeah, good point! And I've a feeling that the result in the match between the two sides comes before the fair play scores as the means of determining the outcome?? In which case as you say just a win is enough! (Not sure they will though - I quite fancy Mexico).

Hmm, just looking at the Russia-Uruguay game: didn't take long for the patriotic fervour to collapse. Two down at half time and a man short now - rampant Russian surprise has been replaced by some more pungent realism.

Hope the same thing doesn't happen to the England camp.

Russia just aren't that good though. Saudi Arabia are on a par with Panama and Egypt aren't great either besides Salah who isn't even fully fit. Against any decent side Russia were always going to look poor. England are much better than Russia.

Why are so many unnecessary change strips being worn? Sweden (yellow) had to wear blue v Germany (white). Mexico had to ditch  their traditional green shirts for one game.

It appears that FIFA have insisted one team will be in a light colour and the other in dark. But why? Nearly all the world now watches colour TV. Is it proof perhaps that match officials are colour blind?
