Japan losing to a Poland team with nothing to play for. Unless they get a goal back, they'll need Senegal to beat Colombia or they're done.

Colombia 1-0 over Senegal. Japan and Senegal even on points, goal difference and goals scored, plus tied in the H2H meeting, but having fewer yellow cards might send Japan through as the next tiebreaker. Crazy ass group. lol

Wait hol'up, so the advancing team between Jap and Senegal could most likely come down to who had fewer penalties?

Japan getting booed for aimlessly kicking the ball around, trying to avoid any further yellow cards. Would've been funny if Senegal had scored to knock them out for doing that, but it got them through.

I was torn AF going back and forth between games as those final minutes ticked. Unable to sit. And I'm not even a soccer fan, per se. Just a casual WC rube caught up in the excitement every 4 years.
