Group G - Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England

[mr_mister]

Belgium set to be the first new European super power for quite a while. Cool to see a little change to the status quo

A reminder to those who slagged Lukaku at United, give him proper service and he will thrive.

People have been saying this for years.

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah I know but I feel all these blokes were just too young four years ago. Definitely was always going to take a while

You've never lived until you've seen Wayne Rooney score two goals against Lichtenstein.

 

[cpr]

No. Prime Rooney was a monster and actually played some of his best football for his country.

Until they all fall out and implode and go out with a whimper in the quarter final.

Could very well happen. With Jerry losing to Mexico they look likely to qualify as group runners up, which means they could face Brazil in the second round.

If Belgium top "G" (as their goal difference makes probable now, unless England beat them) & defeat the runner up from "H", they'll face the winner of Brazil/Jerry in the last eight.

 

[straw man]

Belgium, Croatia, Mexico all impressing early and haven't won it before, so get some feel-good attention before losing to Brazil or Germany in the knockout.

Looking at the team on BBC site I am surprised that Alli is even on the bench, unless that a mistake I don't see the point given his injury.

Well, in World Cups the bench is basically the entire squad, so...

 

[Victor Ian]

Can someone explain the bench for me. After the last Australia game it seemed there were more bench guys than guys who got on the field. And is there a limit to substitutions? I thought I heard something like that is the third and last blaa blaa blaa.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

You can use 3 subs.

 

[vogue]

Yessss ... Come on England!

Noice

 

[sledger]

Haha what a great pen.

 

[Ausage]

Haha what a great pen.

Haha came here to post this. Absolute gem.

 

[straw man]

That was lovely.

 

[vogue]

Really good score line, puts my predictions out but hey,I’ll live with that

 

[sledger]

All over red rover.
