We are going to win world cup
I’m not worried by Brazil. We’d be mad to
surrender momentum and lose just to avoid them.

England should play its strongest team against Belgium and play a weakened one in the round of 16.
That way we'll be nice and fresh for the quarter final. |

Play to win winning is a good habit.

I think this is right ...
If we finish above Belgium and top the group We then play Japan, Senegal or Colombia If we win that game, we play winner of Brazil v Mexico, so probably Brazil If we finish below Belgium, 2nd in the group We then play Japan, Senegal or Colombia If we win that game, we play winner of Sweden v Switzerland Brazil are definitely harder to beat than Sweden or Switzerland, so finishing below Belgium is preferable |

All this talk about Brazil just makes me certain than we'll get knocked out by Japan next round

If winning the group means avoiding Columbia, I'd take that, Should we actually be afraid of Brazil?

I am loving the fact that Uruguay, Belgium, Croatia and Colombia are looking better than Brazil, Germany and Argentina. And Holland and Italy aren't even there. There are about 10 teams that could win it it seems. Have to say so far this has been the best World Cup I can remember watching. 1978 being the first one I can remember properly watching from start to Archie Gemmil finish.

Am I the only one impressed by Brazil so far? In stark contrast to the Brazil sides of the past two tournaments, they actually have solidity and structure with Casemiro, Fernandinho, Paulinho etc providing steel. And always have the tools to open up teams and hurt them up front. I have a feeling some people may not be impressed just because they aren’t playing with the flair people associate them with. Unlike Belgium or Uruguay too, they’ve actually played decent teams.

After watching today's game, I can't help but feel that if England was a band they would be called Harry Kane and the Placeholders. Everyone else is perfectly adequate but he's the only guy with a cutting edge.

I don't mean this to be as negative as I think it will sound because I really do think things are heading in the right direction and Southgate has already earned a longer shot at this for me but....
The back 4 are really far too flaky for us to succeed unless we really do ride our luck. Maguire, Walker and Stones at CB are always going to make mistakes and Pickford really isn't as good as his hype. These comments have nothing to do with this evening btw. Pickford can have blinders but he really isn't good enough for England first choice at this point. The strength is in the ones in front of them and we have to hope they do the trick if we are to progress. So Southgate's urging to be bold and play their football makes a lot of sense because we really aren't equipped to sit deep and defend. Walker is excellent at RB but at CB he is possibly our most reliable one because the others slip up so often. Maguire looks exciting because he steps forward as does Stones but crikey they are flaky defensively and decision making is scary at times. Without Henderson in front they are a liability and TBH that might not be enough. Great going forward but..... I am still quite chuffed with how they have done and looking forward to more next week but we shouldn't get carried away.

That is about right. An appealing work in progress, but there’s a reason we’ve conceded in every game. We will do very well to get past Colombia, who must be favourites. We’ll need at least three goals to do so, I reckon.

Like you I don't think the England defence is anywhere near good enough to win a world cup but I guess if we can keep scoring maybe we can make the semis. Some very decent sides in the last 16. Just depends who can keep it together for 4 matches now.
