TEAM-MATE
A black day for world football. A combination of Mexico being frauds, last minute South Korean doping, biased refs, bad VAR decisions, and the strong German lads beings exceptionally unlucky have eliminated the reigning champions from the World Cup *dislaimer: I couldn't watch the game, but there can be no other explanation for Germany failing to advance, right? Right?!?

In any case, welcome to our Hublot Forum of Friendship match day thread.

These are our four matches:

Senegal vs Colombia, 16:00 CET, 3 p.m. BST, 10 a.m. EST, Samara
Japan vs Poland, 16:00 CET, 3 p.m. BST, 10 a.m. EST, Volgograd
England vs Belgium, 20:00 CET, 7 p.m. BST, 2 p.m. EST, Kaliningrad
Panama vs Tunisia, 20:00 CET, 7 p.m. BST, 2 p.m. EST, Saransk




In Group H, one match is between Senegal and Colombia. Senegal are playing a great world cup. If they win or draw, they advance to the knockout stages. Colombia had a weak start before trashing Poland. They must win, or at least draw and hope that Japan loses so it can go to tie breakers between them. James Rodriguez' side were much better in their game against Poland, so I think this is a pretty even pairing. I still hope that Senegal will win.



Japan play Poland in the other Group H match. The Japanese are favorites against already eliminated Poland, but eliminated sides with nothing to lose can play surprisingly good football. Still, as long as Japan get at least a draw, they will advance. I think Japan are the favorites here, but perhaps Lewandowski and co. will surprise us by being not poo poo.



Next we have two of the best teams this World Cup so far facing each other. England and Belgium played very good football at times, and we can only hope that we get an engaging, high scoring match. Unfortunately, both teams are already sure to advance to the knockout stages, so they may play it safe and end up in a boring, goalless draw. If they do their best, I would rate the Belgians as slight favorites.



At the same time, Panama will play against Tunisia. Both teams are pretty bad, but at least they already have four goals between them, which shows they are able to score. This could be a better match than the other one, on account of two bad teams enabling hilarious goals. I rate Tunisia as stronger than Panama, but since they are both already eliminated, it doesn't really matter who will win.

It was a sad day for world football, but the show must go on. Let's hope Senegal and Japan just destroy their opponents, and that Belgium - England won't be a snooze fest. Join us in another round of football here in our Hublot Forum of Friendship!

Hoping England start all their poo poo players with the intent to get 5 red cards and forfeit the game. The mighty lions will then definitely bring it home.

Even though we 'should' lose to avoid the tougher teams etc., I still think we should just play for the 3 points and destroy England.
We tried ensuring an easy draw in the European Cup 2 years ago and ended up being eliminated by Wales, so yeah.
Just win everything imo.

Its gonna suck having to hope that Belgium comes out on top for this match but think about everything we have to gain! A much better route through the play offs, and even better it will REALLY piss off the gammon who would want to use this match as a Brexit omen!
