Japan is quality, but Tunisia are trash. Just fire Herve so you can be the first country to have a different manager for every group match.

Group E has been won by Germany

With its goal in the match's final moments for the 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast... Germany gets to 6 points & wins the group, officially punching its ticket to the knockout stage

The Ivory Coast is still sitting pretty to advance as well with 3 points despite the loss

That after Ecuador & Curacao drew 0-0... getting both sides their 1st point for this World Cup

Have any Muslim countries -- outside England -- done anything this cup? I haven't watched all the matches I can catch one -- maybe two -- on any given day.

Where's France fall in this?

I know the joke is Africa's best players play for France

Morocco defeated Scotland and is advancing. Scotland vs Brazil will determine who else will advance and what the seeding will be


Most have achieved at least a point through draws.


And then there's Turkey

Can ESPN do the hard task of figuring out how to put the 10pm game on the scoreboard?

Multi billion dollar company and you can't get it on the right day and it disappears on the next day schedule

I feel like Dims run things there

I've been so inundated with the USMNT Country Roads videos that I keep on thinking that's what the Japan fans are chanting right now.

I love watching Japan play as long as they're not playing us. I still have PTSD from our friendly with them before Qatar where they took us apart

You’re not the only one. I was humming along with Country Roads when they scored that third goal.

Side note:
Japan is my second favorite team this World Cup. Their style of play and their fans are a lot of fun.

Would be hilarious if Tunisia just goes full Mexico 2013 and fired Renard after 1 match.
