England v Belgium

[Cannylad]

First half is just a friendly, totally boring. Hopefully the second half brings something new.

It just did.

How on earth did Alexander-Arnold get in this team, absolutely pitiful to watch.

[Geordie1974]

Don't care what anybody says.We played for 2nd place there.If not at 1 nil we would have brought Kane on.

Come up against a half decent side and get beat. Complacency is a nasty thing. Colombia are another half decent side.

[Jammy89]

We had our 2nd team out, we didn't look great but we didn't look ****e.

I'm happy with that performance, it was a good moment from januzaj but if any of our moments had come off it it would have been 1-1.

I think we'll beat Colombia, although they are a decent side. I also give us a decent chance against whoever wins in Sweden v Switzerland.

[Geordie1974]

Not saying Colombia will be easy but I am happy with 2nd and the route we have got.Best chance for many a tournament to make the semi finals.Just hope we don't blow it.

[Jammy89]

Aye, would be very England to blow it with out best chance in years

Yup.

We will, though.

Yes it was the 2nd team and yes the best end result possible was acheived for the next 2 rounds. I think it would have been better to field the best team possible and go for the win tonight.

Momentum and confidence from Panama has been lost and anyone who plays football knows that it isn't something that can be switched back on again like a tap.

I still think they will beat Columbia but it would have been nice to see them entering this round with the juices flowing and tails up after another win without having to restart the engine again. I fear small seeds of doubt have now been planted.
