    I don't doubt the Colombians are probably the best of the bunch, but up against a strong Belgium or a much more organised England and I wouldn't back them to win.

    Colombia are looking better and better as the game goes on.

    If the clowns sort themselves out then yeah, I'd fancy England.

    It's probably going to hurt them that they've not been tested with a better team and their final group game is a nothing match.

    Colombians look so much better with a fit Hamez too.

    How do Poland get the qualifying results they do? I can't remember a single occasion in my lifetime when they've played well in a tournament match.

    Google says they beat Switzerland on penalties in the Euro 2016 round of 16. That sounds like a thriller.

    The only possible saving grace for Poland tonight is Ospina being in goal. Would help if they tested him though and they're fucked in other games.

    Colombia are the team to avoid in this group (assuming they qualify). They're not outstanding but they have far more quality than the other teams. If they finish second to Japan in the group then the incentive for England or Belgium to lose is going to be even more ridiculous.

    They can be got at but they can carve a team apart if they're on it. Hamez and Cuadrado are potent.

    I still can't understand this idea. I don't believe you're advocating throwing own goals in, but I can't imagine any possible scenario where losing - and therefore almost definitely losing confidence - can be a good thing. And anyway, if we can't beat Colombia we're not going to win the whole thing.

    Really wouldn't want to come up against Colombia in the last 16. Come on Poland.

    He's at direct fault of two of the goals they've conceded though.

    In a Hungarian bar with loads of Polish and one of them is sarcastically clapping and cheering for Colombia when they score.

    It's not going down all that well with some. I think someone with have words or more if there's a fourth.

    Three or four near him have basically told him to shut the fuck up already.

    We're not going to win the whole thing anyway (in all likelihood, better throw that caveat in), but if we can scam the draw to play Japan and then the winner of Mexico/Switzerland before losing the semi, it's better than having to go through Colombia and Germany/Brazil to get to that point.

    I totally understand the point about confidence, which is why I don't think either team will look to do that, but I could easily (well, not easily, but potentially) see the winner of England's group being lolled out by Colombia whilst the second placed team sashays into the semis via the route described.

    Keane was loving the Germany Sweden game yesterday. I say loved, I mean he sort of smiled a bit and seemed satisfied by the game.

    If he didn't insult anyone then it must have been his favourite game of all time.

    Poland worse than death in both games. Next time they qualify can someone tell them it's being held in Australia or something.

    As you say, though, that is rather a problem when he himself is basically a pure goalscorer. People like Weah, Adebayor, Eto'o etc had more to their games.

    Zielinski could be (and was in qualifying) the main provider but he, like others, goes missing in the bigger games. Also doesn't help that most of the time Milik adds very little to the national side.

    They seemed to be on the whole a lot more cautious in tournament football which doesn't suit the team.

    Aubameyang is another example. Plays as a sort of deep-lying number 10 for Gabon, take him into club football and he's an off the shoulder merchant. Don't think Lewandowski has that flexibility in his game.
