Would resent being called a dinosaur though, as he doesn't believe they ever existed.

[Deutsch Wolf]

God is a gas. I mean he's not like Calor Gas.

Best line ever

 

[darlowolf64]

Japan lead...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ospina is so bad off set pieces.

 

[White Wolf]

Looked back at it and that Colombia FK for their goal should not be a FK he goes down much too easily.

 

[Pablowolf]

I like the Japan top, I may get one.

 

[pr0sl0]

Japan are always such a likeable team, I think. Every World Cup they remind me of some of the passing teams we came up against in League One—good on the ball, decent movement, but ultimately kinda lightweight and unable to step up against the bigger, stronger teams that are also as technically good.

 

[Alan]

N'Diaye starts for Senegal.

 

[Alan]

Ah, an African team coached by an African. Refreshing.

 

[Jinky]

Wolves getting a mention early doors thanks to big Alf.

 

[Nando]

M'Baye Niang over Keita Balde. Odd.

 

[Johnny75]

I have no idea who Alfred Undeeeye is.

 

[Alan]

Niang apparently had a good end of the season for Torino but he's looked really ineffective so far here.

 

[Jack Regan]

Senegal been in some decent positions so far, no killer edge as yet.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Senegal probably look the best African team so far. It's a seriously low bar though.

 

[Jack Regan]

Massive sign the game isn't the best, when the most interesting thing is the length of someone's name.

 

[Parkins left foot]

N'Diaye starts for Senegal.

Other (ex) Wolves connection - Peszko on the bench for Poland

Senegal probably look the best African team so far. It's a seriously low bar though.

No "probably" about it, is there? They're clearly the most talented side and already look the best coached to take advantage of their strengths.

I think Morocco have better players overall, but after a nice start they unravelled and had no proper plan.

Tunisia are ranked higher than Senegal FWIW. We haven't seen Egypt with Salah yet either, they miss him more than Portugal would Ronaldo.

1-0 Senegal, huge deflection.
