If this was say Germany v Austria, I would say it's a bit of a fix. Oh er hang on.

But part of me is thinking maybe it's time to have 16 names in the hat after the group stages for the knockout stage alla the FA cup.

It does seem a bit farcical that if you are in the latter stages of the group games you can watch and plan your own destiny. I think you could seed the group winners so they don't meet (and an incentive to win it) and then you take your chances after that. However I'd suggest FIFA have an idea of what they want for their dream scenario final (Germany may have helped bugger that) and wouldn't want too many big names meeting in the last 16 and risk losing several
 
Disappointed to lose, Rose went to ground far too easy!

Just hope it doesn’t come back and bite us!

But, hopefully a bit of luck with the draw now :)
 
Always a dead rubber to some degree, was never going to be a classic because nobody was fighting for survival.

The ‘squad’ have had there opportunity, now never to be seen again 😜
 
Well safe to say that was poor , everything that was good about the first two games certainly weren’t evident in that one

Only one player I think from that 11 that should play in the next game and that’s Rose , can see the benefits of having someone with a natural left foot out wide

Dier showed why he is behind Henderson and also Vardy looked out of depth as well as Delph

Shame about AA set pieces , he normally puts a very good ball from a dead ball situation but just wasn’t there today - other than that he was solid

As for the Rashford / Sterling debate - guess that’s shows why Southgate has gone for Sterling. He had a chance to show he should be playing instead of Sterling - promptly fluffed his lines

England could have really put another marker down today but now they go and play a very good Columbian team - shame it’s after losing

Starting to hear a bit of arrogance about being in the bottom half of the draw - Colombia are a very good team
