With a month to go and squads starting to be announced I thought it would be an idea to start threads for the World Cup. I've put together a guide to all the teams and these threads can then be used to discuss any further developments and of course the games: Group H POLAND Poland FIFA ranking: 10th Star Player: Robert Lewandowski- The Bayern man is a goal machine simple as he’ll be the man who will look to fire the Poles into the knockout stages WC History: 3rd place in 74 and 82 Odds: 50-1 Synopsis: Despite only dropping 5 points in qualifying and topping the group they weren’t great at the back conceding 14 goals the most of any team finishing in the top two in a European group. A potential tricky group for the Poles but if Lewandowski is in form then they should have enough at least make it through. Squad: Goalkeepers: Bartosz Bialkowski (Ipswich), Lukasz Fabianski (Swansea City), Wojciech Szczesny (Juventus) Defenders: Jan Bednarek (Southampton), Bartosz Bereszynski (Sampdoria), Thiago Cionek (SPAL), Kamil Glik (AS Monaco), Artur Jedrzejczyk (Legia Warszawa), Michal Pazdan (Legia Warszawa), Lukasz Piszczek (Borussia Dortmund) Midfielders: Jakub Blaszczykowski (VfL Wolfsburg), Jacek Goralski (Ludogorets Razgrad), Kamil Grosicki (Hull City), Grzegorz Krychowiak (West Bromwich Albion), Rafal Kurzawa (Gornik Zabrze), Karol Linetty (Sampdoria), Slawomir Peszko (Lechia Gdansk), Maciej Rybus (Lokomotiv Moscow), Piotr Zielinski (Napoli) Forwards: Dawid Kownacki (Sampdoria), Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich), Arkadiusz Milik (Napoli), Lukasz Teodorczyk (Anderlecht)
Senegal FIFA ranking: 28th Star Player: Sadio Mane- the Liverpool forward is their best attacking threat and will be the man they look to help them repeat their 2002 heroics WC History: Quarter Finalist 2002 Odds: 200-1 Synopsis: Won their group undefeated an initial loss to South Africa was annulled after the ref was found guilty of match fixing, the match was replayed in November 2017 and a 2-0 win seen them qualify. A hardworking team which have good pace. They will be looking to cause an upset like 2002 and hopefully get out of their group. Squad: Goalkeepers: Khadim Ndiaye (Horoya AC), Abdoulaye Diallo (Rennes), Alfred Gomis (Torino) Defenders: Kara Mbodji (Anderlecht), Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli), Moussa Wague (Eupen), Saliou Ciss (Angers), Youssouf Sabaly (Bordeaux), Lamine Gassama (Alanyaspor), Armand Traore (Nottingham Forest), Salif Sane (Hannover 96) Midfielders: Pape Alioune Ndiaye (Stoke), Idrissa Gueye (Everton), Cheikhou Kouyate (West Ham), Cheikh N'Doye (Birmingham) Forwards: Sadio Mane (Liverpool), Diao Balde Keita (Monaco), Ismaila Sarr (Rennes), Diafra Sakho (Rennes), Moussa Konate (Amiens), Mame Biram Diouf (Stoke), Mbaye Niang (AC Milan). Colombia FIFA ranking: 16th Star Player: James Rodriquez- the star of 2014 WC for them will also be key for them here. Radamel Falcao will also be looking to put the 2014 injury hit campaign behind him and will be their biggest goal threat. WC History: 2014 Quarter finalists Odds: 33-1 Synopsis: Crept over the line to qualify in the end but they are here and that is all that matters. With the talent they have in their team they will be looking to top the group and will be hopeful of at least repeating their 2014 QF place. Squad: Goalkeepers: David Ospina (Arsenal), Camilo Vargas (Deportivo Cali), José Fernando Cuadrado (Once Caldas). Defenders: Cristian Zapata (Milan), Dávinson Sánchez (Tottenham), Santiago Arias (PSV Eindhoven), Óscar Murillo (Pachuca), Frank Fabra (Boca Juniors), Johan Mojica (Girona), Yerry Mina (Barcelona). Midfielders: Wílmar Barrios (Boca Juniors), Carlos Sánchez (Espanyol), Jefferson Lerma (Levante), José Izquierdo (Brighton Hove & Albion), James Rodríguez (Bayern Múnich), Abel Aguilar (Deportivo Cali), Mateus Uribe (América), Juan Fernando Quintero (River Plate), Juan Guillermo Cuadrado (Juventus). Forwards: Radamel Falcao (Mónaco), Miguel Borja (Palmeiras), Carlos Bacca (Villarreal), Luis Fernando Muriel (Sevilla).
Japan FIFA ranking: 60th Star Player: Keisude Honda alongside Shinji Kagawa are their best creative players and they will be key to their hopes. WC History: two round of 16 places in 2002 and 2010 Odds: 250-1 Synopsis: Done enough to qualify and were commanding enough in the games that mattered but dropping points to UAE and Iraq were blotches on the copybook. A tough group for them they will looking to at least finish 2nd and repeat their Last 16 places of 2002 and 2010. Squad: Goalkeepers: Eiji Kawashima (Metz), Masaaki Higashiguchi (Gamba Osaka), Kosuke Nakamura (Kashiwa Reysol) Defenders: Yuto Nagatomo (Galatasaray), Tomoaki Makino (Urawa Reds), Wataru Endo (Urawa Reds), Maya Yoshida (Southampton), Hiroki Sakai (Marseille), Gotoku Sakai (Hamburg), Gen Shoji (Kashima Antlers), Naomichi Ueda (Kashima Antlers) Midfielders: Makoto Hasebe (Eintracht Frankfurt), Keisuke Honda (Pachuca), Takashi Inui (Eibar), Shinji Kagawa (Borussia Dortmund), Hotaru Yamaguchi (Cerezo Osaka), Genki Haraguchi (Fortuna Dusseldorf), Takashi Usami (Fortuna Dusseldorf), Gaku Shibasaki (Getafe), Ryota Oshima (Kawasaki Frontale) Forwards: Shinji Okazaki (Leicester), Yuya Osako (Werder Bremen), Yoshinori Muto (Mainz) |

I reckon Colombia beat Japan 2-0 and Poland and Senegal draw 1-1 There is a Colombian guy at work over at this. He was so excited to be going over to see his team play at the World Cup. That’s all he talked about for the last month. I was jealous as f*** but it was great to see his excitement. He doesn’t drink but will be going wild at the match. ------------- |

James Rodriguez will be a miss for Colombia though not sure if he’s fit enough to come off the bench. Seen a good bit of Inui play this season in La Liga, always looked a threat! should be a good game.

That and the fact that Colombia were one of the favourites to win the '94 World Cup after romping the SA qualifying - so it was a far bigger shock then the current side potentially failing to get out of the group. There's very few parallels between now and 24 years ago really.

Farcical goal for Senegal - Japanese keeper with a feeble punch which rebounds into his net off Sadio Mane's knee. Even more farcical was the caption at the top left corner of the tv screen (RTE) showing 1-0 to Japan for a few minutes. It's been corrected now though.

Colombia are a real joy to watch. Technically beautiful. But, I wonder if Falcao actually disjoints the team a bit, especially as he wasn’t there in 2014, and I recall it looking like he created a bottleneck in attack in the 2015 Copa America, which they didn’t have in 2014?

Buzzing after that Colombian performance. The best of any team in this World Cup. They were fooking sensational, joyous. Three great goals. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

I cant remember a World Cup performance that has left an impression on me like that one. That is the "Devil May Care" attitude that they had with Asprilla, Valderamma, Alvarez etc, but this is something else. It was a beautiful performance.

Similar World Cup for Poland as they had in 2002. Qualified easily and then humbled at the tournament when their expectations were high. However they did win their last group game in 2002. If they can repeat that here, that will allow Colombia to top the group. And goal difference will decide which of Japan or Senegal will make it through with them.
