Get David Seaman in there for good measure.

I get the feeling that this game is going to be a bit of a fiasco.

The Belgians are just going to be hacking the bone in their own box.

"Oops....thats a penalty...dear me..."

Huge goal for Colombia.

Senegal going out now.

On one hand Sadio could use some rest, but on the other hand, come on Mane!

93rd minute Japan red card to send them out would be the greatest.

Why? I want to see Japan go through. This is a cool group, I like all the teams except Poland but mostly just because Poland was boring.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Because what better way to get eliminated from the World Cup than because of a red card? Not a red card leading to a penalty, not a red card leading to a loss from 10 men. Literally the reason you got eliminated was a red card.

You just want to watch the World burn.

I'm looking forward to this.

Lets Make the World Cup Great Again!

United States president Donald Trump proposed Cristiano Ronaldo as a potential future head of state for Portugal, and also suggested he could join Vladimir Putin at the World Cup final in Moscow next month.

Plus Senegal as we're seeing right now are far more dangerous than Japan.

Japan currently lead 4 yellows to 6 yellows.

Thats just the dumbest tie-breaker.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Japan going out now when they're playing extreme anti-football would also be hilarious.

And before anyone asks, yes. This is true.

So play to win or risk the coin-toss.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well this adds another layer of intrigue to the Belgium/England game. Do you lie down to get the tougher R16 game, but easier path after? Or do you win and get a lay up R16 game, but much tougher path after?

[GirlySports]

if Senegal and Japan had played each other today they might have put in a provision that in case of a draw the game go to penalty kicks. This has been done in Euro before.

But since they are in different cities, there is nothing that can be done.

[Flamenspiel]

There is no easy path to the final. You rest your players for the R16 game as needed and still try to win the group. I think Columbia was the class of this group and will be difficult to beat.

No African teams making it past the Group Stage.
