Watched this game this morning , first one of this WC ,
Was kind of going for England ,knowing how much it means to a few poms I know ,
but could see the funny side of it when it went to 2-1 , sport can be bloody cruel .
Fuck them.
The amount of Celts I've seen getting on the English bandwagon is nothing short of sickening not to mention all that 'coming home' shit. What a pack of dicks, celebrating that sort of crap while there's still two fucken games to play is a recipe for disaster so I'm glad it came back to fuck them in the arse.
Miserable bastard.
It’s been a fantastic bandwagon to be on, possibly the best one I’ve been on since 2002 World Cup.
Loved every minute of it. It doesn’t capture my inner soul like the craps or the blacks, but it’s been bloody fantastic to be a part of.
I was on the Nigerian bandwagon for awhile but that didn't pan out too well.

I hope it turns up soon. I've put a deposit down for an island getaway for every ferner on here. Should be a blast.
Unlimited piss, drugs and hookers all on me. You'll all get a PM invitation shortly. I'm gonna look a bit silly if this doesn't come off.

I know that Belgium B was better than England B, and I expect the same result in this game.
Fate has been very kind to allow England B the chance to get revenge over Belgium B for their victory in the group stage.

Can't see Belgium fielding a crap side.
Belgium to win comfortably.

Saw that in the magazine.
Interesting but confusing.
e.g. Mexico (none) has arrow pointing towards Panama (foreign born)
Argentina (foreign born) has arrow pointing towards Uruguay (foreign born). Shouldn't that be a two way arrow? -
@mikethesnow that means a Mexican born player plays for Panama and an Argentinian born player plays for Uruguay and Argentina have a French born player playing there...?

Fuck knows. Sounds logical but how do you read England and Egypt?

The Golden Generation look like they're heading for bronze
Half-time
Belgium 1 - 0 England -
15 to go and even with Belgium shifting down to 1st gear England just don't look like scoring.
Saying that Belgium should be 3-0 up.
Lukaku was fucking useless and rightly substituted after fluffing two sitters.
Oh that would have been the goal of the tournament from Belgium. Great save from Pickford

About time
Great finish from Hazard -
English football has the same problem as English rugby.
Two strong, respected leagues dominated by non-English playmakers.
