The whole Poland team are the equivalent of Gareth Bale.. no football ability at all and completely missing in action .. France probably don't need to turn up and they'll still get thru to the next round....

Poland simply rolled over and hoped for the best - perversely, it worked. 

They deserve to go out in the next round.

Final Group E games tonight, a bit more interesting than the Group F games this afternoon. Obviously Germany must win to clear the group stage, but if Japan can manage a draw against Spain, the Germans will need to have won by two goals. I hope the Spanish play for a draw, which is all they need.

Sometimes the games that look a bit meh turn out to be some of the more competitive ones with plenty of goals...

For me the World Cup is always about the group stage. I love having four games in the same day.

The 2026 competition will have 48 teams. Far too many, 24 would be about right. But maybe there'll be a second group stage again.

Number 2 seeds Belgium out. One goal in 3 games really is poor form.

That was tough for Lukaku. He won't sleep well tonight

Yes, sad to see. Although I didn't want the Belgians to get out of the group at Croatia's expense.

Japan have levelled against Spain, raising my hope that they'll keep that they'll keep Germany out of second place.

Bloody hell they've got another one!

Christ! Costa Rica level it in the other game.

The scales are tipping away from Germany's chances of making it out of the group, but I think they'll have tipped back in another 30 minutes.

OMG what is happening? Japan and possibly Costa Rica going through - hopefully. But wow anything could happen yet.
