England Tonight

Why on earth take any risks? We were thru ennyrooard so laikin the big boys against Belgium would've been naive to say the least. Why risk the chance of injuries or yellow cards? Just supposing he laiked Harry Kane last night, he coulda been clobbered or done a hamstring and ends up missing rest of tournament. The world cups top scorer out of the tournament by playing in a match that was dead rubber. Bleeding press and supporters would've crucified Southgate.

I was disappointed to lose but it made perfect sense to rest the 1st team last night. Onwards and upwards

Theres arguments both ways here Pass, and I understand the idea of not wanting to risk our 'best' in a so called dead rubber match. But for me this was pathetic that Southgate made so many changes, why take the risk of upsetting our winning mentality and that momentum we obviously had. And who is to say its an easier route now that we've avoided the Brazilian half of the draw!.
