I agree, Columbia have some excellent players. That said, if you want to go into the latter stages, you tend to meet better teams so we'll just have to get on with it, raise our levels and beat them
Picking out players on one or two performances is dangerous. You would not touch Lewandowski with a barge pole on his two performances so far but we all know he's a quality player.
2-0 down and a man sent off, the Russian implosion, lucky they are through. They could end up playing France though finishing as runners up ! not looking good for the Russians.
Find it amazing Sporting Lisbon didn't sell Carvalaho to us for 30m doesn't even look like a 10m player. Looks like a 35 year old Yaya Toure who couldn't be bothered.
It's a judgement call, as handball offences always are. All VAR does is give the ref a chance to look at it again. Detractors of VAR are going to have a hard time justifying why that's a bad thing.
There was contact between the ball and the hand. Or was there not?
If yes, it is a potential handball offence.
If it's in te penalty area, it's a potential penalty.
Rules of the game.
By all means say tat you don't think it was a deliberate handball, and that you don't agree with the ref. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a potential penalty.

I do not want England drawn against Colombia.

I thought it was Spain or Portugal next for Russia?
Yes.
Except for the horses.
And the cannons.
Oh he goes again, another look at the TV, this guy should’ve come and sat with me, he could watched the whole game on the box
