Yes the match descended into farce at the end as both sides settled for the 1-0 to Poland. Anyway history was made in that group, with it being the first World Cup group ever where qualification was decided by the fair play rule.

Colombia's 1-0 win over Senegal makes them the only country to qualify for the next round of this World Cup after losing their opening match.

Senegal's exit on the fair play rule means that no African country has qualified from the group stage for the first time since the 1982 World Cup.

Japan would be my preferred option, I think Columbia would be a far stiffer test for us

If it was to happen could there be mini Copa America Final this time? I don't think it's happened before but the top half certainly has the looks of a mini Copa America tournament feel about it.

bloody boring is it worse than France Denmark?

Belgium lead 1 -0

Suddenly this has the feel of Italia 90 in Bologna all over again?

Where's David Platt when you need him?

Disasterious result......... no
We will now have to face Columbia, and if we win, either Swizerland or Sweden
If we'd won we'd have faced Japan and then Brazil.

Also we've managed to rest a lot of our starting team.. and given a lot of backup players a chance to play in the World Cup.

The result should read Belgium reserves 1 - England reserves 0

good result when all is said and done.

A nothing game really where both sides didn't look that bothered. Good goal from Januzaij to be fair, but yes the rest of the game was quite flat. Colombia will be a stern test, but any team is a difficult opponent at this stage.

id have taken japan over colombia any day
