Group H

Group H standings right now

Qualified: None

Can Qualify: Japan, Senegal and Colombia

Knocked out: Poland

Fixtures: Japan vs Poland | Senegal vs Colombia

The actual group of death. All teams had equal chances of making it to the next round and it was Poland who were tipped by a lot to top the group. But right now, they are at the bottom of the pile!

Japan are on top of the table right now but there is still a good chance of them getting knocked out! They need a positive result vs Poland at any cost to make it to the next round. A loss can also get them into the next round but that can only happen if Senegal beat Colombia.

Colombia need a win at any cost as a draw will mean that would need Japan to lose their game to Poland. A loss will definitely end their campaign regardless of the Japan v Poland result.

Senegal are in the same situation as Japan. A win or draw and they are through but a loss would mean that the Japan vs Poland game becomes very important for them. Unless Poland beat Japan by a good margin, they will be knocked out!
