Old Man Andrews Dog shit defending. We are sloppy as shit.


Second team. Means nothing


Laughable, it means a lot. One or more of these defenders would have to step in if there are injuries and we cannot rely on them. If you can't defend against Januzaj then how are you going to defend against Neymar? Stupid of Southgate to make as many changes as he has, almost negligent.

We also will now miss the chance for an easy game against Japan in the next round.

Zip Some disrespect to Belgium I feel. They created the better chances in the first half and the ITV panel bitch about them not having any intention to win the game. Those comments look pretty stupid.


Interested to hear Gary Neville's thoughts, who was dead certain that Belgium were actively trying not to win


He used that insight at Valencia

I thought that as well. He was certain Belgium would have a kickabout.

Rashford clearly thinks we are trying to lose the game!

But avoid Brazil and what I’m sure would be certain defeat.

Colombia + Sweden/Switzerland is overall still an easier route to the semis than Japan + Brazil/Mexico.

It's a dead rubber - concentration is easily lost. Belgium made the same amount of changes and are winning... + it was a good finish, too.

Also, the game isn't actually over.

Alexander Arnold looks a little out of his depth.

Think he’s looked more comfortable than Dier and a couple of others.

TAA delivery on set pieces has been Harry Kane levels of bad. Clearly struggling with it so get him off them!

Yeah there's a couple who really have been disappointing. Dier is one of them. Which surprised me.

Wondering if the hooligan element will surface on the streets of the UK if we lose this tonight?

Although unable to hit the side of a barn door in an Arsenal shirt, I thought he had a decent record for England.
