World Cup 2018

Any talk of easier draw has nothing to do with the next round but everything to do with the quarter finals. The options in the QF are likely Brazil, sorry Mexico, or Sweden/Switzerland. Anyone thinking that either Sweden or Switzerland are the equal of Brazil is embarrassing themselves.

Colombia in the next round, for the second place team, is a very dangerous game.

Brazil are pretty much the team to beat now so every team will want to avoid them.

Impressive start from Trent A-A.

Impressive start from Trent A-A.

He looks like he's got rickets

On Southgate - much respect from me - very professional manager, and hopefully will be a successful one too.

Any coach/Manager worth his salt would want to finish 2nd the way the draw is looking.

But all those ‘squad’ players in tonight will want to impress and give Southgate a selection headache, surely? and rightly so.

Good first half, satisfied with the performance.

Impressive start from Trent A-A.

Terrible corners and free kicks though.

Its not in our hands though.
We r 3 bookings ahead and Belgium could let us score or play for the bore draw.

I'm surprised the Producer hasn't made Wrighty change that shirt...
Doing funny things to the picture😵

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not a coherent performance and Belgium definitely created the better chances. Would Southgate really be worried about winning or coming second and I have to be honest I think Sweden in particular would be a tricky tie (we've not a good record in recent years and I think we've only won twice against them since 1979 although a lot were draws but also a number of defeats too. I think we "should" be good enough to win the last 16 game against either opponent.

From the reaction of the Belgium team and squad it didn’t look like they want to finish 2nd!

 

[Kellfire]

Cleanest strike of of Batshuaiyi’s career there. Haha.

His highlight reel for this tournament is going to be a tough watch for him.

 

[Kellfire]

Rashford summed up. Great movement. Great awareness. 50p foot.

 

[FairwayDodger]

Brilliantly placed shot from Rashford, keeping the dream alive!

 

[AmandaJR]

Rashford is a talent but lazy and too casual at times for me...

Trent A A simply cannot kick a dead ball...he needs some vitamin D I tell you!

 

[Fish]

Sterling would have




















Missed that too 😂

 

[pokerjoke]

Not one player showing enough for a start in the QF.
Even think Rashford is missing on purpose.
Probably shows Southgate has picked his best 11 so far in the tournament.

Worst display of corners and free kicks you're likely to see.

 

[Don Barzini]

This is officially the weirdest England World Cup game I have personally ever watched. We’re 1-0 down. I should want them to score and I sort of do. But I also sort of don’t.

His delivery tonight has been awful. I'd get him off corners and dead ball situations. Not rocket science that one.
