Why exactly? It's not like the spelling isn't widespread. It is Columbia records after all and Washington DC ( District of Columbia). And it's pronounced with an uh sound in the middle so imo it's not exactly a shock that so many people spell it incorrectly.

Its not a shock I suppose but just disappointing how many people are so uneducated about the world

Got to get past the Colombians first, no pushovers.

And the Croatians are gonna be a stern test should we meet them - they must have one of the best first choice midfields in the tournament.

And even now some people think we were wrong to play a weakened team against Belgium :lolol:

Most people on here were, the poll results were pretty stark.

Some of us saw the bigger picture though

Slightly straw man to say that. The question was, "Keep winning or look for the easier knockout games?". I was all for playing a 'changed' side to ensure the squad is involved, but I was also all for winning the game. I don't think we played to lose thankfully, or tried to pick up unnecessary bookings (as the Belgiums appeared to do in the first half) we were just crap with our changed side – which actually is a worry even if it got us in the right side of the draw.

Cash out.

I didn't do it on line. I only bet the old fashioned way. Betting slip at the Bookies. Don't think its an option to cash out when you do it that way. But I don't wanna cash out. I am gonna get a good run for my money from the Colombians hopefully. They haven't conceeded a goal when they have had 11 men on the pitch

Could still arb it for a decent profit. But as I believe you're from North of the border, letting it ride will probably be more fun......

Exactly - Gives me an interest in the tournament, although, almost every match so far has been great to watch

Agreed. People saying it's been a poor World Cup don't understand football. I've watched nearly every game and am loving it.
