Poland 1 Senegal 2

ITV beat the BBC hands down, just the second word here being “England”. Jolly well done lads. No cooking segment though, come on.

Much huffing and puffing on the pitch too with little imagination, but Senegal - who have eight forwards listed in their squad - went ahead with a deflected shot. From a midfielder. They did deserve to be ahead as Poland were disappointing with Lewandowski invisible.

They looked a little better in the second half until some horrendous defending allowed Senegal to nick a second. Poland looked beaten from that point on. Well, until the 86th minute and a fine headed goal  which brought them back in it. But it was too litttle too late as Senegal took advantage of some good fortune and bad defending.

Quote of the day from Ally McCoist: “if you’re guilty of manipulating the game, you deserve a life ban”. Wonder if he can think of any examples where that hasn’t happened?
