Well now that's all over we can wake up and laugh at the thought that a team with Diver Young,Shinguard and Rashwords were in a World Cup Final.

Stones, Walker, Sterling, Kompany and De Bruyne will probably all be rested.

Delph will probably start.

Think both sides will put out 2nd teams.

Don't think you're remembered for 3rd or 4th, just getting beat in the semi's.

Lukaku will play at least some of it, as the Golden Boot is there still.
Delph yes, Walker definitely not, Stone probably not.
Kompany might as it's coming to an end for him.

England B v Belgium B on Saturday. Great.

 

[Len Rum]

Best team won.

Not so sure.
Bit like the Belgium France game - could have gone either way.
Although Croatia won, they could,maybe should have been 3-0 down at half time.
Hardly makes them the best team.
Equal teams, fine margins.

Yes! Well said

It aint rocket science is it Pam...No surprise that the social media hate he has recieved is from those that have no understanding of the modern game. Even the muppet called the moose on talksport has back tracked and just tweeted saying Raz was fantastic and was taken off too early

Earlier in the day he was shouting for him to be dropped

Ian Abrahams -

I must put it out there, I thought Sterling was terrific tonight and thought he was bought off too early, it’s a positive to admit when you’re wrong, occasionally

We had five Spurs players on the pitch at one point, no wonder we blew it near the end!!

Nah that’s not right I could see Trippier playing but I could not see any others...

Does that not just demonstrate there are more rags and dippers than anyone else? On that basis, it can’t really be a surprise? The real surprise is that he’s scored higher than Rashford, although that probably won’t be true when all the piss heads get home and start voting!

Sterling,Pickford,Maguire, Stones were the pick of the bunch. Sterling played well what is it that the public aren't seeing. As others have said why aren't Ali and Kane getting peters. Kane squares that pass to sterling first half and there through. Why is he not on the end of criticism. Don't understand it, no I do understand just growing more and more pissed off with it.

It is your patriotic duty to support England as ferociously as you do City and we will shout you down if you resist.

No, it isnt, not when they treat their own with such a lack of respect and dignity.

England B v Belgium B on Saturday. Great.

Up to a point.

I bet all dippers/rags/spuds are rested on both teams but the city players start.
