No idea I turned it off.

Felt like a waste of life watching it.

Has someone told them the loser doesn't have to play Argentina?

The Swiss manager is doing every kind of tactical gymnastics he can to avoid sending Okafor on - talk about cutting your nose off.

If Colombia score, Okafor might get thrown on but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Might be he doesn't rate him.... He bought Zeki Amdouni the Burnley winger on, who'd been out since the summer from an ACL tear... he's played virtually no football for a year

How much must you not rate a player to bring him on for someone who didn't play 25/6 for a relegation team?

He hasn't played yet has he?

He'd be well off it imo

Played for 20 minutes in the last game I think. He's had around 2000 minutes more football than Zeki Amdouni this season

Think there are more in extra-time, Colombia seem to have made more than the Swiss.
The commentator mentioned more subs I think?

Colombia have made 5 it seems


Teams are permitted to make up to five substitutions per match during regular time. These changes must be made across a maximum of three stoppages or windows.

Key substitution rules include

Extra Time: In knockout matches that go to extra time, teams are awarded a sixth substitute and an additional stoppage.
