Colombia. England will get taken apart by a decent side, although for all the excitement those are looking thin on the ground. Colombia, Spain at times, and Brazil tonight looked like they were finding their feet.

So now we know 14 of the 16 teams for the round of 16 If we top the group and win the round of 16 game we would play either Mexico or Brazil in the Quarter Final then France Argentina Uraguay or Portugal in the Semi Final should we get past the Quarters If we come 2nd in the group and win the round of 16 game we would face Sweden or Switzerland in the Quarters and either Spain Russia Croatia or Denmark in the Semi So first half of draw South American dominated and second half of the group is European dominated I'm also anticipating a Mexico v Engerland QF, keen to do a theme night. Chicken burrito washed down with half a dozen bottles of Natcho.

I hear 8 changes and and we’re not going to try and win the game . WTF ??!!! If we come second we play Columbia in the next round who are class and if we win it we play Japan who are average at best. If we throw this game I actually feel like I hope Columbia beat us.

On paper our 2nd team looks much better than theirs. Of course it could still backfire.

Obviously I don’t know but this whole thing of us being better off losing so we play easier teams after the last 16 is crazy talk. Come second and we play Columbia .

It was a strange one that, but..... The fair play rule only became noticeable with 15 minutes to play so Japan could either play and risk getting bookings or accept the result and get 0 bookings. They've only used the fp regulations as it looked their only chance and it worked. FIFA's rules not Japan's. They played within the guidelines....

Why read the thread? It's hardly surprising that it contains comments about the world cup!

If we throw this game I actually feel like I hope Columbia beat us. I thought exactly the same when the sides were announced and switched off after 60 mins. If Southgate made that many changes to keep players fresh for the latter stages then that is arrogant beyond belief given we hardly ever get beyond the quarter final. If he made changes to give everyone a game then he should be reminded this is a World Cup and not an under 11's tournament. He should have played his best side and tried to build momentum, especially the defence which need as much time as possible together to get a good understanding. I've had concerns about Southgate from the day he was appointed but would love to proved wrong. Like many modern young managers he's trying to be far too clever and it may backfire

You clearly know nothing aboot tactics. Th plan now will be to lose against Columbia so th team will be fully rested in time for 2022...
..an will someone please tell Southgate he's at a football match not a chuffkin weddin reception.

France looking quite tasty, but what the hell was Rojo doing. Mbappe has lost control of it anyway! Come on, Messi!

What a strike from di Maria. Sensational. I was slagging him off to a friend of mine this morning so this was always bound to happen! Now c’mon the Argies!
