Bris Vegas Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 A bit premature with Senegal and Poland still to play, but I’m not expecting a classic... So, the following questions so far: Who or what has been your... (mine are in brackets) - Game of the tournament (Spain vs Portugal) - best result of the tournament (Russia’s 5-0 win) - surprise of the tournament (Mexico 1-0 Germany) - Most impressive display (From what I’ve seen, Mexico’s first-half display) - best or favourite goal of the tournament (Nacho for Spain) - player of the tournament (Ronaldo’s display against Spain was brilliant, even excluding the goals) - most controversial moment (England’s non-penalty when Kane was hauled over) - biggest disappointment (I’d be inclined to say Argentina but that’s unfair on Iceland and they didn’t play that bad. From what I’ve seen, South Korea were awful and disappointed me most). - Worst miss (Suarez vs Egypt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hugely amusing double deflection gives Senegal the lead. I'll always have a soft spot for them after turning over France in 2002 WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 So far today it’s gone from having either Poland or Columbia to Japan or Senegal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Group H is probably the hardest to predict. Poland have largely been decent over the past few years. They were incredibly unlucky to lose to Portugal at Euro 2016. I'd have tipped them and Colombia as top two. But who knows after the first round of results. They coud all end up on 4 points at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hilarious second for Senegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Senegal are very quick on the ball, incredibly athletic team. They're very persistent with claiming injury though. They will stay down until play is stopped, no matter how long it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 To tangent quickly to the commentary teams - Ally McCoist is the best commentary analyst at this tournament by far. Kilbane is decent. The rest are ducking awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Senegal announce themselves as this world cup's decent African team. Go go Senegal. Group H looks fun now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Blimey Russia on fire. Egypt have thrown the towel in by the look. It's awful watching a team in black and white being dismantled by a team in red and white......bad omens ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Russia were terrible coming into this tournament. Most, I included, tipped them to flop. Looks like they've booked a date with either Portugal or Spain. Could be quite tasty that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Anyone else tempted by Colombia and Poland to qualify at 50/1? I can see it happening. Colombia vs Poland and Senegal vs Japan next. Both draws. Then in the final match, Colombia to beat Senegal by two goals and Poland to beat Japan by two goals. All finish on four points, Colombia and Poland go through on goal difference.
