WTF was Jones doing then?
he managed to reach that one with his tiny arms...
Nope nothing of interest, and still don't really know why fridge had "a smell"
Get the cif in there. That'll sort the smell out.
After the group stage and last 16 matches, why don't they do a draw for the quarters and so on? Why on earth would we aim to win the group if we already know that we'd likely face Brazil if we beat Japan? It should all be random so this sort of mindset can't exist going into these games.

Not sure we have been "crap" exactly. Been fairly even really.
Are we demonstrably that much better than Colombia that we can field a weakened side (tonight) and gamble? I think this WC has shown that more established sides like Germany, Brazil and Argentina have struggled against poorer sides... so why have we taken the route of likely playing the stronger of the two second round options. Don't get it.

Perfect result. Lose, but not by much.

Let's see if it was the right decision
Agree.
Really don't know why the fixtures at the knockout stage aren't drawn out of a hat.
Would end this nonsense.
We've been absolutely tripe. The midfield were none existent and the goal keeper couldnt catch a cold.
It's done this way because in theory the bigger teams will meet each other later on.
