England have struggled to play flowing football for years now. When Garry Neville was worried about losing the St Georges Park identify by appointing a foreigner the only identity we have is rigid slow sideways passing football. The way we move away from that is by not picking all the so called big names from big clubs. 

Despite my above rant you are quite right that the players just get absolutely no time off because they get squeezed for financial gain by every governing body and broadcaster in the world. It must be demotivating.

I know when you represent your country 100% ect ect but it's getting ridiculous to the point that people don't even want to watch it

Im going on Tuesday night and looking forward to it, possibly the only chance in my lifetime to watch England at the WFCG and we hopefully will have our very own Forest player in the team.

But I accept for 99% of people in the country and possibly the players too this game is a pointless irrelevance.

Well Spain and Portugal can put on a show! Yes it's a better standard and a final but they are both very easy on the eye.

Neco Williams-less Wales with Karl Darlow in goal getting hammered by Belgium for whom Sels has made a couple of decent saves.

3-2 now! Neco will be gutted to be missing this.

And now Johnson makes it 3-3!

This has turned into a cracking game. Belgium score but then after a ridiculously long check it gets overturned, now they've scored again.

Sels must love having faes in front of him

Don’t think Sels did himself too many favours about keeping his place. Gave away the pen and think he should have saved the second too. The Belgian defence doesn’t look too clever at times, agree it can’t help having Faes ahead of you but reckon he will be disappointed with last night.

Bench for MGW again…

What is Tuchel’s problem???

It’s starting to just feel spiteful.

I hope he can get 20 minutes at least to show Tuchel what he is about.
