I have not heard anyone underestimating Croatia. I think many people think we have a good chance of winning, but everyone I have spoken to has also said about how dangerous they are. |

What a pointless exercise this game is. Just give both semi-final losers a bronze medal and let them all go home. The players are devastated, tired and homesick. The coaches will play all the fringe players and the game will be no more than an exhibition friendly.

From a football perspective, having England vs Belgium twice being contested by the reserves is a real shame. Could have been the best game of the groups and could have been the final but instead it's just seen as a friendly on both occasions.

Cruel on the players who just want to go home
The success of making the semi-final will be spoilt if the team get thrashed or look poor .

Waste of time. Play the reserves.

This thread needs a poll - Do you care if we finish 3rd or 4th? For me it’s a no.
‘For you England, ze World Cup is over.’ Or at least it should be. It seems like a waste of everyone’s time to keep them out there now. |

Don't really care but I hope we go out play a strong side, freshening it up some but play Harry Kane.
Be good to see him come back with the golden boot.

Spurs will be pretty pissed off by it and so for me that is good enough reason to think it is a good idea!

Wish we had Spurs first game of the season. They won't have any players ready after their WC exertions

Knowing Southgate he'll want to win it but I'm sure he'll make a couple of changes. Nice to watch a non important game

I heard Stuart Pearce in Talksport saying that playing in the 3rd / 4th play off was like water torture. Chris Waddle was similarly scathing on 5live. I concur - it’s a complete waste of time and should be scrapped.

An alternative view point - Bilic was saying that their 3rd place finish was a source of great national pride. I think he said it was his countries greatest ever sporting achievement, up until last night, I guess!). So at the risk of sounding condescending, I suppose to some nations, it can still have value. I agree that I doubt the England players will be up for it though!

Hope both managers put out strong teams and go for it. Unlikely though.
Would be nice to finish on a high at least.

Funny most teams take it seriously and want the glory of finishing third.
But no not the good old English! Got to throw a strop and demand the whole thing be scrapped.
