That red card in the first few minutes decided the match. Really awful start for Colombia.

Well if a nation not best known for Footy can knock off one that is, it makes for a MUCH more INTERESTING WC.

Poland has their high ranking due to a loophole on how points are awarded:

I don't think there's anyone out there who seriously thought this team was a threat.

It's a shame it took a nation playing 10 man for 87 of 90 minutes for that to happen.

Yeah, big game for both teams, winner likely qualifies with Uruguay. Moreso for Egypt as Russia could qualify by defeating Uruguay and will likely have the goal differential advantage.

Russia is pretty much safe with a draw after that 5-0.

Whilst I would never have predicted Russia to win by these margins, I am also not surprised either. As bad as they have been prior to the World Cup, hosts tend to overperform.

06 Germany overperformed

They weren't that great a team

And South Africa beat France and drew with Mexico which actually was an overperformance for them

I think Brazil's home advantage actually worked against them

I disagree Germany overperformed, but I'll give you South Africa, even though France was just ass that year.

Indeed.

Is it me or are the judges in the way of the ball a lot more than usually? Like, it happens every now and then, but pretty often this cup the ball has hit the judge, stopping a play.

Then there was the judge making an Icelandic player fall to the ground lol
