#15 Colombia 1-2 Japan - Group H

Post by Puff Daddy »

Or Fulham v Sunderland

Colombia are attack minded, attractive to watch, should get out of this group and could provide last 16 opponents for England. Japan on the other hand, are a bit like Sunderland, chopping and changing their manager hints of chaos, but they might spring a surprise to the unprepared

Looks like the Japs have nipped in front.

Bit of an upset if they win this.

First red card of the tournament too.

Was that a reasonable red card? Or referee madness?

I guess it was deemed a deliberate handball and it did stop the ball from going in the net. Still seemed a bit harsh though, a penalty would have been adequate punishment.

Does this mean he'll be murdered when he returns to Colombia, a la Andres Escobar?

Silly perhaps, but how can there only be 1 minute stoppage time? It took nearly 3 minutes to get the penalty and red card sorted, there has been 2 goals and a substitution.

Should be at least 3 minutes.

Personally think a penalty award was enough. Red Card was harsh.

it is listed in the rules of the game though

DENYING A GOAL OR AN OBVIOUS GOAL-SCORING OPPORTUNITY

Where a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by a deliberate handball offence the player is sent off wherever the offence occurs.

Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offending player is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.

With 10 men Colombia look to me to be visably tiring. Right now, this game is for the taking for Japan
