The review is not expected to see the decision against the African Nation overturned.<\/p>\n<p>Colin Smith, the competition director for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifa.com\/worldcup\/\">FIFA<\/a>, stated,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We will review after this World Cup, we will see what the feedback and the situation is, but as it currently stands we don\u2019t see any need to change.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is the first World Cup where this rule came into effect. It was unknown if the rule would come into play this year, but as two teams from Group H were played simultaneously, it became evident that would be the case as both teams finished equally.<\/p>\n<p>During the match, Japan chose to play it safe as Columbia was ahead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifa.com\/worldcup\/teams\/team\/43879\/\">Senegal<\/a> 1-0, and lost to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifa.com\/worldcup\/teams\/team\/43962\/\">Poland<\/a> 1-0. They preferred to take a safer approach knowing the other team was already out of contention. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifa.com\/worldcup\/teams\/team\/43819\/\">Japan<\/a> was due to qualify for the final 16 as a result of its improved disciplinary record. The previous rules would have seen this situation settled with the drawing of lots. That rule would have meant that neither team would have assurances of qualifying.<\/p>\n<p>Smith further stated that FIFA wanted to avoid the drawing of lots adding,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We believe that teams should go forward on their performance and what happens on the pitch, not in a draw bowl. The preference is that slots and teams advancing is on the basis of goals and results and there\u2019s clear winners.&#8221; He said the \u2018fair play\u2019 rule was clear to all teams.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The competition director also stated that there was not a complaint registered against England\u2019s loss to Poland. That match was seen by many as a friendly one as both teams had qualified already and the only decision to come as a result of the match was which team would join the tougher of the two knockout stage groups. For England, once Poland had scored, they chose to take the easy route and not push to win.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the match, Smith said he feels that the cost of tickets is such that fans attending should get to see a competitive game. He added that<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf Belgium didn\u2019t want to win, they obviously forgot to tell the goalscorer,&#8221; Smith said, &#8220;Because it was a cracker.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For Canadians, many are cheering for England due to Canada\u2019s long tie to the United Kingdom.
