The following losers have picked teams that no-one cares about today, obviously Group H is still wide open with only POL having nothing to play for, no point having separate threads for all the other games me thinks

@cellone v @PhilippineSaint (SEN v COL) 15:00 BST BBC ONE  
@Fatso v @Saint-or-sinner (JPN v POL) 15:00 BST BBC TWO

@Goatboy v @tigger (PAN v TUN) 19:00 BST ITV

Cellone will wish he had never let Optimus Trousers pick his team as my hyped up Coffee sellers put half a dozen past the last African Nation.

I believe that Yoshi can lead Japan to victory today and will lift the world cup trophy.

I can assure you that the people of Poland would kill you VERY slowly and VERY publicly for that glib nthing to play for comment…

Pretty darned important games for Bet Victor as well.  
225/1 that every team at the WC would score at least 2 goals, so all eyes on Panama & Poland to score one each and someone is in the money

PANTUN - @Goatboy vs @tigger, sounds like something @PhilippineSaint might ask for when he’s off the rigs.

You dirty bastards; all of you and all of Panama and Tunisia.

I wonder if there will be quite as many Colombia fans in Russia as there were when they played Poland or if there are suddenly a lot more Japan fans?

Japan 0-1 Poland

Japan have a corner, which Gaku Shibasaki takes and Maya Yoshida glances a header wide.

Surely that would be the first time two different Southampton defenders have scored in a World Cup game.

So now Japan don’t need to score - unless Senegal equalise.

Post update  
Barcelona defender Yerry Mina has just put Colombia ahead against Senegal. Which means as things stand Japan would go through because of picking up fewer yellow cards than Senegal.

Japan are qualifying!  
Japan 0-1 Poland

Japan have now moved back into qualifying position!

Colombia go top of the group thanks to that goal over Senegal.

Senegal MUST find an equaliser otherwise they’re going home…

Unless Japan get two yellow cards…

Or Japan concede again.
