    England Should Lose

    I think it's best for England to finish second and avoid the winner of France v Argentina in the QFs.

    But even if you think it's a bad idea to start losing and planning too far ahead, there's an even better reason. The loser remains in the confines of the Russian capital, where as the group winner has loads of travelling to do.

    I think you have a different draw structure to the rest of the world if you think that's right Romany.

    Winning is a great habit. We should go to win this.

    A draw with Sterling getting 2 yellows meaning we finish 2nd on fair play is the way to go remaining unbeaten with a real chance of getting to the final.

    Sadly we'll take the proud route and convince ourselves we must beat the best and end up going out in the quarters again to Brazil.

    We need to bring on an expendable such as Terence Trent Darby and have him get sent off to fall to second on fair play league. Genuinely taking one for the team, but watch the Belgies then lash a goal kick into their own net as time expires
