Think I’d rather watch The Arsenal V Borehamwood friendly tbh.

I wish they'd drop these Play-off games.
Still, be nice to see us play well today.

So a theoretical question, if Belgium beat us comfortably and France beat Croatia comfortably is England's performance this tournament still the success the FA/media have been branding it? is reaching the semi-final all that matters regardless of fixtures/performances?
Soldato
Sterling starts again, but once again Rashford does not, neither does Alli but maybe that is down to his niggle from the group stage.
Caporegime
Very strong looking Belgium side, I worry for our midfield.
Caporegime
What do Vardy and Rashford have to do to get a start? Sterling has been our worst player by a country mile.
Caporegime
We’re getting battered here. 4-0 incoming.
Caporegime
Rashford and Vardy can both pull defenders all over the pitch with their pace but also know where the net is. If Southgate is making changes at least give someone else some time.Was our best player against Croatia, just sayin'
Soldato
All my money firmly on Belgium.
As above i can easily see a 3-0 or a 4-1.

On the plus side they'll both be fresher for the new domestic season!
No it would have been a disaster?
I would literally have anyone replace Sterling at this point, even if he for once wasn't one of the worst players in the last game. If anything we may actually see Kane going into the box where frankly he belongs and does best for Tottenham. Delivery from open play will still be a problem though.
Still think this will be a relatively easy game for Belgium and show that England just had an easy ride to the final which is why they got as far as semi. I would love to be proved wrong of course and a win would add some credibility to their efforts this tournament.

It'll be sods law that Sterling finally scores today when it doesn't really matter.
Soldato
Lol, omg, terrible..
Soldato
Pretty much sums up my attitude.
I'm watching Nadal v Jockywitch at the moment and will probably turn over to watch the losers play off as I'm not a fan of women's tennis.
That was easy....
Caporegime
Well this has started well.
Caporegime
Really poor from Danny Rose that. He has no idea where Munier was
