World Cup: Group H: Japan vs. Senegal, 6/24/2018

[Luigi Habs]

Risky result for Senegal.

I think Colombia beat Poland today. Will be a very difficult game for Senegal vs Colombia.

That was a fantastic and very entertaining game. More like that please.

I hope both of these teams go through.

Good game.
Hopefully the Samurai Blue's can get a W against Poland.

Good game.
Hopefully the Samurai Blue's can get a W against Poland.

I think they only need a draw to go through if my calculations are right.

Even within Europe. For instance, when was the last time a footy nation like England had a real world class goalie? And they are not alone with that.

Oh.. I see what you did..
Picking England as the one nation of all who has constant troubles in goal might lead to a whole new topic.

Entertaining match, props to Japan for never backing down. True samurai spirit!!!

Even better. I know nothing about soccer. Should they play defensive and play for a draw or would that be risky if they make a mistake, it could cost them. Or just play like they've been playing (preferably like they play in the 2nd half).

You are correct. With a tie Japan is at 5.

If they tie Poland, the most Poland can get is 4.

Colombia or Senegal can get a max of 6. But not both. If last game is a tie between them, then Senegal has 5, and Colombia a max of 4.

So Japan is through with a tie. Same goes for Senegal actually.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

If Poland and Colombia tie their game and win their last ones, then all 4 teams are tied at 4 pts.

Hope that happens

Honda's face has aged quite poorly since last World Cup. Strange considering his nationality
