The African teams, with the exception of the Lions of Senegal
, have not been covering themselves in glory so far - indeed, it looks like we are already losing the Egyptians, though they are saying: Don't write us off yet! Clearly in de nile!
And I don't hold out lots of hopes for fellow North Africans as I think we're in danger of seeing a Moroccan roll out of the tournament today v the Portugese. Time for the former buddies of Mick and Keef to get an outing before it's too late:

I thought Columbia were a bit better against Japan than most commentators said.Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostSince hearing them on the Colombian 'Road Trip' on BBC Radio 3 Music Planet I've been enjoying the party music of Systema Solar. Here's Rumbera...I think the Colombians will be singing stuff like this in the terraces today.
I've got them in the Alyth Primary School sweep...come on you Colombia!
That Systema Solar track is excellent.
I hadn't heard it before and while the video goes well with it in the modern sense I also think it is a bit misleading as sound wise there is a lot of substance in there. On other Columbian music, I'm a bit surprised how José Hernando Noguera who was much promoted as the future of vallenato by R3 at its 2012 World Routes Academy has for the most part disappeared.Last edited by Lat-Literal; 20-06-18, 22:36.Comment

A Vexillological jest to start today as we ask 'What's the best thing about Switzerland?' 'I'm not sure but their flag is a big plus!'
Alpenhorn, anyone, as they head out against the Serbians today in Kaliningrad.

Yes - very good JC - although I know its origins as I now have a large golf ball in which I can receive information on all radio and television broadcasts worldwide. Let's just say in this particular case, national radio, the letters D and A and a telephone call to Salford from Liverpool. By my reckoning, the England flag is also a plus but the plus is drawn with less wide lines and it isn't just in the centre of the flag. That possibly means that while the chances of success are narrower, there could be greater reach into the later stages of the tournament.Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostA Vexillological jest to start today as we ask 'What's the best thing about Switzerland?'

The following selection is variable in quality but an interesting snapshot of a country where music is often opposed.

Nigeria may have played like Zombies in the first game but not today - Moussa mesmeric in the 2nd half and suddenly coming alive. What would Fela have thought of it? A couple of Afrobeat goals from the Eagles!

Listening to BBC World Service before the game and a Nigerian sports commentator saidOriginally posted by johncorrigan View Post
'This team are a return to the Super Eagles of the 90's'
We'll see.... in the meantime, although we should have more Afrobeats, let's go back for some Talking Drums

By way of contrast, a traditional Swedish song:
