Japan 2 Senegal 2
Both teams with identical records. We will play a side in this group in the next round.

Once Gareth decides to drop Sterling and play with eleven men, we could be capable of beating anybody. They had even perfected a free kick routine to give him an open goal, but he missed it.

I was sorry to see England play like they did after Kean went off. This is the wrong tactic! In this World Cup there must be that passion to fight and to struggle,sadly that was lacking.If you start to play is a lazy fashion you will play in this way again.I don't care if we had 10 goals you must play with passion and fight! .....and this pub team scored?? So Southgate, please take a taxi to some where far!!!.....and don't fiss me off again!!!!

I've seen a lot of nonsense spouted on this board Balan, but that's right up there with the best of it

Very similar teams ---with the emphasis on the team as a whole.

Harry’s rugby tackle picked up thus time and he gets another goal for 5-0 before half time.

Time to give a few off the bench some game time?

With England now qualifying for the knock-out stages of the World Cup how should we tackle Belgium in the last group game?

Bring on a number of subs (including Nick) to get their chance to shine and give a number of start-up players a rest or steady as she goes with basically the same team?

Will the thought process be determined by how critical is it for us to finish first in the group?

Both managers will rest "key" players, it will finish 1-1 and both teams will do their best to reach the quarter finals against whatever the many possible permutations throw up.

I can’t see GS making wholesale changes to a winning team. If Tripps has picked up a knock maybe Alexander Arnold will get his chance with Rose getting the left back berth.

Sorry to keep banging on about it, but one obvious change is Radford for Sterling, Gareth has given him every chance but he continues to be a liability. Never mind looking after Sterling, Radford has to start this time, it would be criminal to go with Sterling again.

One thing I do agree with Gareth on, I believe he said he thought the performance was better against Tunisia, I'm with him on that, despite the score, I thought we played far better in the first half against Tunisia than at any point in the game yesterday.
