Not too tempted by any of those games tomorrow.

 

[duffer]

Russia v Salah could be fun.

 

[PoTMS]

Boring day of football with no big teams playing.

 

[kouroux]

I have a feeling that Colombia vs Japon will be fun

 

[VorZakone]

Poland vs Senegal should be good. Senegal has players like Mane, Koulibaly, Gueye, Keita Balde, Kouyate, Salif Sane etc.

 

[alsabi]

I think Senegal could be the best African team at the tournament.

 

[izec]

Will watch Colombia and Russia-Egypt.

Poland-Senegal i am not sure, maybe the second half

 

[YouOnlyLiveTwice]

Group H looks very competitive, all decent teams with Japan the weakest imo.

 

[K2K]

I think Senegal could be the best African team at the tournament.

The bar isn't very high though

 

[alsabi]

The bar isn't very high though

True.

Disagree. Thought today's three would be pretty boring and so they proved (England second half had hardly anything happen before Kane goal).

Said from the start I really like the Poland-Colombia-Senegal-Japan group. Colombia probably favourites to win that group but think it's more tighter than other groups in terms of levels between the four so I reckon we'll see open games and high scoring matches. Very intrigued to see how Senegal do, they have top quality players like Koulibaly and Mane so will surely be better than likes of Nigeria and Tunisia.

Russia-Egypt will be interesting. A draw is little use for Egypt so they'll have to show far more attacking intent than first match. Interested how Russia look against that approach.

Got a feeling Poland-Senegal will be high scoring. Think Poland will struggle on counter attack v Mane. Colombia were one of the best teams to watch at the last world cup and still have most of that squad around + Falcao.

 

[coolredwine]

Colombia finally.

They will light up the WC again.

Maybe you're right. I'm just having a bit of football fatigue after watching basically all of the WC so far.

 

[Dumbstar]

Come on Russia. Just win and don't injure Salah. Let him return home early and let the Egyptian vitriol against Ramos and Real Madrid last all summer.

 

[Rojofiam]

Colombia to win comfortably

Senegal to at least get a draw

Russia - Egypt to be exciting but low scoring

 

[Cal?]

James to shine again, Poland to complete the non-champion Uefa undefeated streak.

I can understand but I would be surprised if tomorrow's three games were poorer in quality and excitement than today's three or Morocco-Iran or Costa Rica-Serbia.

 

[Peyroteo]

Poland-Senegal should be a great game of football and Russia-Egypt is already a deciding game so it's not so bad.

 

[Yagami]

Let's goooo Japan!

 

[duffer]

I made Kagawa my captain in the fantasy football so shall be supporting them tomorrow.

 

[Cheesy]

Russia-Egypt has the potential to be intriguing, depending on how it goes. An early goal for Egypt would make it a potentially very interesting game.

 

[Lay]

Colombia vs Japan is the only one I'm intrigued by.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Colombia 2-1 Japan
Poland 2-2 Senegal
Russia 2-1 Egypt

 

[FootballHQ]

Colombia vs Japan is the only one I'm intrigued by.

Will probably be the most one sided game. Japan are on similar level to South Korea who were toothless today.

 

[whatwha]

Colombia 2-1 Japan
Poland 2-2 Senegal
Russia 2-1 Egypt

These are the types of score predictions that feel 'intuitive' to fans, but very rarely happen. Nonetheless, I put a bet on this combo at 2300 odds.

Probably but I have a soft spot for Japan. They are capable of playing some great football. Though its been awhile since I've watched them play.

 

[Florida Man]

Will be a great day tomorrow for the Babes thread hopefully

 

[Mibabalou]

Shoud be the day with the most even matches, all six teams going into it thinking they can win.

 

[Jacob]

Where's the babes' thread?!

 

[Tomuś]

Shoud be the day with the most even matches, all six teams going into it thinking they can win.

Precisely. When you add potential quality on show it's weird to call this uninspiring.

Struggled in the qualifiers to score really so not expecting much.

Their peak was 2010, could've easily made the quarters. Honda was great at that world cup. Him, Nagatomo and Kagawa all feel past their peak now even though they're not that old.

 

[Hansa]

Don't understand those who rubbish tomorrow's games. Round 2 begins with Russia vs Egypt. After the cautious approach from some teams in the opening round, everything is now at stake. Egypt have a mountain to climb, and need to produce something extraordinary to remain in contention.

 

[bosnian_red]

Tomorrow has 3 very interesting games, not sure what some are on about. Russia vs Egypt is the all important one in that group plus with Salah back, while the other group is very tight and could go any way. Colombia will prove to be very good IMO, though itll be tight between Senegal and Poland.

Going for Colombia win, Egypt win and then draw between Poland and Senegal.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Group H is probably the most balanced today. Senegal, Poland and Colombia can all win it.

 

[klsv]

Poland - Senegal and Russia - Egypt have me totally lost with how to go about on my prediction league.

 

[Janson]

Boring day of football with no big teams playing.

Yep, not that excited about tomorrow's games either.

 

[2plus2is4]

I'd rather watch Poland-Senegal than some David vs. Goliath games.

 

[FootballHQ]

Yep, not that excited about tomorrow's games either.

Going to be a feast of football compared to watching Marcus Berg lumbering about.
