ideal world, we finish 2nd and avoid Columbia, we'll know before our kick off

It would be typical England for them to beat a top side when we don't want them too

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Just go for it. We could get Colombia and lose or beat Brazil. Are there any really easier ways. It's all on the day and thinking a certain route is better, could be fatal.

If Sweden/Switzerland are equal with Brazil then sure, but they're patently not

How does that one play out? Go out to deliberately lose to get an easier tie?

Has the three lions been replaced with scardy cats?

Fucking stand up and be counted. Take on whoever comes up, with a bit of pride and a pair of balls.

There’s more at stake than the result. I hope you are better than that a take the ****s on. Then take the next ****s on no matter who they are.

That’s what I would want if we ever fucking qualify for a finals

Brazil could conceivably lose to Mexico anyway, just win tonight and keep the momentum rolling.

Why are people forgetting that we were desperate to play Iceland two years ago as opposed to Portugal? And look what subsequently transpired.

Columbia aren't even through yet.

 

[MCFC1993]

To be fair there won't be any hypotheticals when England kick off, Group H will have been decided. If Colombia finish 2nd, the run in for Group G's winners would be brutal.

The best thing that could happen for the game tonight is Colombia finishing 1st. That way the knockout stages for Group G's winners isn't too bad.

unfortunately your team's shite, so you can have all the passion in the world but it means bugger all.

as for us - No, we can't go out and purposely lose, but playing reserve team will help - if we win we win then great, if we finish 2nd then also great.

You were lucky to get a draw against us, so, you must be shit too.

And with passion you don’t switch it on and off. You either have it or you don’t.

The best teams usually have it. Fuck even wee shitty teams like us do too.

An #Eng XI eg with 8 changes: Butland - Stones Cahill Jones - TAA Rose - Loftus-Cheek Dier Delph - Sterling - Vardy. Good side & a rest for a majority of 1st XI. Win = great, momentum, bring on the last 16. Lose = no worries, bring on last 16 in the preferred half of the draw.
