[Bluedylan1]

Go ed Senegal. Some cracking goals.

The Iraqi player has been booked and will miss their next game, which looks like it won’t be at this World Cup

I mean, no shit, they’re 4-0 down with 10 men and 15 minutes left and need to score like 9

[weimaranerblues]

Iliman , extra 20m please

France's xG was 1.31 vs Norway 1.69

Did it look like that to anyone who watched the game?

Decent chance we could get Senegal in the next round.

Don’t know why we have such a habit of playing the same teams all the time in these competitions.

Think it's one of those biases. I thought similar when we came up against France and Denmark twice in consecutive group stages of the cup.

Assuming we're looking at the last 20 years, and say on average a team makes but doesnt get out of the group stages, it's approaching 50/50 to have played at least 2 other teams twice over that period.

That's also assuming only 75% of teams reappear in consecutive cups, (and obviously ignores better teams featuring more regularly deeper into tournaments).

The chance of not playing at least one team twice is less than 5%.

The other thing was I thought we'd played South American teams far more regularly than we had, when it was actually qualification process rather than the finals - where we had to play the 5th best South American team over two legs to qualify (and usually lost to them), whilst in Oceania. And you guys just got beaten by Senegal last year in a friendly. Those memories stick.

The good news is that the chances drop significantly if you make one of those teams Italy, who have played only a handful of group games in that time since 2006!

Wonder what all the shouting was about during the minutes silence for the victims of the earthquake during Uruguay v Spain buildup.

Pretty poor really, but the crowd started clapping to drown the idiots out.

Looks like we’d probably want DR Congo to win then to have them as opponents over Senegal?

Considering Senegal beat us recently I’d rather avoid them.
