Japan through on the “fair play” rule.
Colombia end up topping the group and Senegal miss out.
Belgium beat England 1-0 to top the group

Both Belgium and England fielded second rate sides as noone wanted top!

England have really found themselves on the right half of the draw - Colombia in the next round, and if they win that Switzerland or Sweden!

Belgium would be happy with their draw though. Japan are a joke and Brazil aren’t flash either, reckon Belgium will clean them up

Not if they lose to Columbia and be the laughing stock of world soccer again

Still, I'd much rather England's half of the draw.

of course but shouldn't f..k with your form to get it IMO

Quite ironic that Japan go through on fair play. A lot of criticism of how they played (or didn't) play out the last 10 minute against Poland. Was that that "fair play"?

Couldn’t agree more, relevant to any sport.

1-1 at the half.
Pen to France early on and they dominated for most of the half but a cracking equaliser late on from Di Maria

Argies take the lead early in the second half but an absolute wonder strike from Pavard levels it at 2-2

Looked like the Frogs by how much early on, but has turned out to be a Quality game. If I had to guess, probably think the French with their pace might get up, but Argies have looked alright once they settled, their keeper doesn't fill one with confidence though .. And right on cue the Frogs through Mbappe go 3-2

Now Mbappe gives France the lead

France open them up again and Mbappe seals it

Then he doubles the lead. French are scary quick and good on the break

All cards were wiped after the group stage yeah? If so, it's 1 yellow in knockouts and you miss the next game, i.e., Matuidi? Or is related to cards earnt in the groups?

Aguero makes in 3-4 surely not with 99 secs left

After the quarters they are wiped
