Belgium have made 9 changes so i doubt their second string which has the likes of Hazards brother and Janujazz in it, would destroy anyone to be honest.

Well, Januzaj's playing, so I get your point.

From what I can see, it's better for England to lose this match.

If they win, they play Japan, and then the winners of Brazil v Mexico

If they lose, they play Colombia, and then the winners of Sweden v Switzerland

(assuming they win their last 16 game, of course, but there's very little to choose between Japan and Colombia)

In what world is Rashford better than Sterling. He has one run in behind. No pass and is shrugged of the ball the same as Loftus Cheek. Both are talents but Raheem plays for City.

The BBC has a fans player rating. The top two are Rashford and Alexander-Arnold. Any coincidence they play for the rags and dippers or have they actually been our best players? Only seen the last 10 minutes and neither has had any impact in that time

I've just been on the BBC website where u rate players out of 10. Seriously, Rashford is currently the highest rated. Obviously, its all the Rags voting for him. I gave him 1 out of 10 because that is the lowest vote available. It just shows the voting system is utter bollox. Stones and Delph have been outstanding in an average game.

Always make !e laugh polls like that. It isn't about how they play, it's a popularity contest just to give the media site a few extra clicks.

We knew it would be one of those games, so many changes with the majority of the 2nd string playing would always make it a different contest. However, it does have an edge now Belgium have amassed 2 yellow cards. Surely they're in 2nd place now?

Reality football poll . Raheem backed would be as dangerous as anyone but Kane. National disgrace the lad has to put up with the biases.

Clive the Red has informed us that he’s had an excellent season for a poor outfit in Sociedad. How the fuck would he know? Oh, silly me, it’s because he’s an ex rag
