World Cup 2018: Taking a peek at forgotten Group H


Day 11 of the 2018 World Cup is in the books, with teams from Group H delivering on a fine day of matches.All of the talk about the World Cup on this blog in recent weeks has spoken of great teams, powerhouse countries, and Iceland. In the process, much has not been said about the countries from Group H.
Guys. Group H matters, too.
It might have been easy to write off this group at the start of the World Cup. Many assumed Colombia and Senegal would advance to the Group of 16, with Japan and Poland fighting to even sniff the next round.
Poland was the first out of the group to officially be eliminated after falling to Colombia 3-0 today. Poland, making their first World Cup appearance since 2006, is a team on the rise but found nothing comes easy on the world stage. Not that they expected it to, but I'm sure they noticed a lot of work still has to be done.
This is not to say Poland was routed out of the World Cup. They fell 2-1 in their opener to Senegal and kept pace with Colombia for the game's first 60 minutes. Poland still has a chance to play spoiler in their final game when they take on Japan. A victory against the Japanese could very well end Japan's 2018 run.
So, Group H...
