Wait, the player was subbed on during the run of play? I thought he was just returning to the field from an injury? If it's a case of a sub coming during the run of play, I'm not sure I've ever seen that in international play.
Normally, ScorpionRunner you are right, even when an injured (and off the field/pitch), you see it from a dead ball situation and you just play down a man until such point.
Disregard my previous post, I didn't see the reply that the player was not a sub and was, in fact, an injured player waved back onto the field.

Exactly.
However, it is what it is, and Poland was still poor as hell. Senegal had their s h i t together, and that is the way that Nigeria should have played.

Senegal over Poland.
That's a huge upset. If the critics think Mexico beating Germany was a huge upset, this is on par with that.
This group might have just become the most interesting of the 8 groups.
Senegal and Japan with 3 points with Poland and Colombia (Easily the two favorites ahead of the games to advance) with 0.
I don't think either Poland or Colombia are dead...even with a tie in their next game (the two play each other), but are going to need help and will probably only get thru on goal differential.
Poland definitely has the harder road as Senegal was thought to be the weakest team in the group.
Most people who know anything knew this group was wide open and had Senegal as a dark horse in the World Cup, not the weakest. No way is it near the Mexico upset and really not nearly as big as people seem to think
Yeah, many analysts predicted Senegal to win this group. Not sure what that guy was talking about...

Technically, the english created the word soccer. Football used to be called Association Football, but when rugby( before it a\was called rugby)came about, and people would say they were going to play football, people didn't know if they were referring to football with your feet or football with your hands. So SOC was taken out of Association, and CER was added, thus creating the word Soccer.
Also, there are two codes in football. Dribbling Codes and Handling Codes.
Dribbling Codes of Football : is a kind of football that is played with your feet : Soccer and Futsol
Handling Codes of Football: is a kind of football that you played with your hands: American Football and Rugby
Russia up 1-0 over an Egypt team with Mo Salah in the lineup. Egypt might be the first team eliminated from the World Cup.
Not looking good for Egyptia.
Lol Russia winning again. Imagine what kind of PED regiment they must be on. Would be hilarious if they turn out to be contenders.
I literally think Russia could win. They are more dope then human these days. If they were tested there would be so much dope that you would be trying to test for humanity inside them not drugs. I wish Russia lost in WW2 like they did in WW1. They have caused so many problems in the world.
Bye Bye Egypt and Mo Salah.
Ouch. Getting destroyed by Russia...whom all of a sudden are a good team who can score and defend!

Maybe 3-5 years longer. Russia was a main reason that WW2 ended.
I wish Germany didn't go near the other western allies. If they just went after the evil Stalinites they would of won and the allies would have been happy with Germany. I wish I was around then. So much problems with the Soviets after WW2. They are evil and still are evil cheating doping and murdering. I wish Trump would get rid of them.
I didn't know Russia could play the beautiful game. They are out there doing back heel flicks in the box, looking like hazard out there.
Quit trolling bro. Let's talk football baby!
Hahaha. Russia is my favorite team now baby! Rooting for the home team woohoo!!
Spain pulled out a tough win. They showed patience and broke Iran down. However, Iran had some solid chances, and really surprised me with their attack. For most of the game they were parking the bus, but once spain scored, they had to push forward.
Not a great game by spain, but Isco showed his class.
That Iran v Portugal is going to be very interesting.
Portugal looked pedestrian for most of the game. I hope Iran pull through. Spain did not look particularly good either and their "goal" was just luck. Of the big name teams I've watched, only England and Belgium look convincing. I don't see Argentina or Portugal making it out of the group stages.
Well, lets have a prediction contest.
Who will make it to the next round (order is important)?
Group A: RUS, URG
Group B: ESP, IRA
Group C: FRA, DEN
Group D: CRO, ICE
Group E: SRB, BRA
Group F: MEX, GER
Group G: ENG, BEL
Group H: SEN, JAP
Round of 16 after this has been finalized.
Well, I haven't watched any of the games from today, just the highlights, and what looked like mismatches on paper turned out to be close games. None of the favorites looked very convincing.
I have to say, Russia has looked like the best team so far. I'm sure it's just home field advantage.

On paper, Portugal should win, but Iran looks tough. I think Morocco could tie Spain. Any scenario that doesn't involve Spain and Portugal getting through would be a shocker.
