No problem for England in the RO16.

[AirTupac]

I really hope Greece get knocked out quick

[EMERE]

Colombia and Greece are advancing to the second round, nothing to see here.

Columbia and Ivory Coast , This is the golden age of ivorian football , drogba in his last WC. I could definitely see Ivory coast being 2014's ghana(2010).

Replacement for Colombia's team card to reflect Falcao's absence.

[Jasi]

Yeah there was a late exclusion for Falcao

Nice goal against Costa Rica that shows Japan's offense to a T. Great technical skill, clever positioning, very unselfish. Fantastic play by the young striker Kakitani to help set up Kagawa's goal.

This is truly a group where every match can swing both ways.

hopefully nothing stupid happens and greece ends up with 0 points like they are supposed to

[Oly BC]

Greece to win all games 1-0 while fans everywhere remove their own eyes.


Especially you, hater alenleomessi.

I watched the game yesterday. Japan carved up Costa Rica's defense but their finishing was poor until late in the game. The absences of Saborio and Oviedo are huge for Costa Rica.

I've updated the Colombia team card.

[Booz Vivic]

Even though Colombia is missing Falcao they have got some well good strikers in their group.

Predict Colombia to win all three games. Then Japan will go through number B.

[Jasi]

The teams advancing from this group will meet those from group D (Italy / England / Uruguay).
I hope I am not jinxing, but I don't see any of them going past the round of 16, except Colombia maybe if they meet England.

[Andrew Wiggins]

colombia and cote d'ivore are the two best teams here.

big concern for colombia is defense. both yepes and zapata are mediocre and balanta may be too inexperienced for this big of a stage.

greeks are not as stout defensively as they have been traditionally and their attack is piss poor.
