The end of the group stages is something we felt we should celebrate in a special way. With the kind of refinement that a landmark like this deserves.
Welcome, dear reader, to our World Cup haikus!
Senegal 0-1 Columbia
Columbia score
No clean sheets for Senegal
Africa’s last hope
Japan 0-1 Poland
Is this the World Cup?
It doesn’t look like fair play
When one team won’t try
England 0-1 Belgium
A goal for Brussels
England cross, but do not win
A bit like Brexit
Panama 1-2 Tunisia
Playing just for pride
Both wanted their World Cup win
Khazri shone – hats off
