Midfiled - Loftus Cheek has been the only midfielder to really merit a starting place for me. Dier was aweful but feel Delpth was ok but looked aweful as he had Dier next to him.

Defence - Start with what we had against Panama. Jones needs deporting.

Attack - As we were for Panama. Not seeing what the rage is about Rashford. just doesnt do it for me, i do rate Sterling a lot more.


Keeper - Meh, what can you do if they are all below world class standard.

I don't think the keeper had a chance with the goal which was just struck too well. I would generally prefer to see Rose play ahead of Young, but he's not played a huge amount in the last year or so and his defending for the goal perhaps shows why he's not the pick at the moment.

Belgium looked a bit average (Batshuayi as anonymous as always) but they still looked better than us. I tend to think that the Hazard who played yesterday wouldn't be in the team if it wasn't for his name. Big disappointment for me was that we didn't create many opportunities and didn't really look like we were trying hard enough - too often, just one or two in the box when we had got in behind the full-back. I think Loftus-Cheek is the only attacking player to do himself much good from that performance.

Quoted from KingstonMariner
Took myself off to water the garden for the second half. Think I saw more excitement on the grass. Bloody bitey, tiny flying things made it feel like Volgograd or St Pete's though.


I've been to London,admittedly Trafalgar Square,and I didn't see any grass in gardens

Nobody even mentioned Batshuayi having a nightmare moment after the goal? 😂

Belgium obviously wanted to win the game. I thought they would play for a draw to get the easier route to the final.

Fact is that I think Belgium believe they can beat Brazil, or anyone else for that matter, and so don't care which half of the draw they ended up in. With the players they have they shouldn't need to fear anyone. Assuming they both come through the next round it is going to be one hell of quart final and I wouldn't bet against the winner to go all the way.
