WORLD CUP 3RD PLACE PLAY OFF: Belgium v England 3pm ITV

Belgium keep getting at the England defence in three or four one touch passes. England take three or four touches before making a pass.

Phil Jones is just an utter %@#$&!.

Not to mention the fact every other defender was in a line 5 meters in front of the clod.

title for pre-season Tour documentary.

*could apply to any player.

I’m going to stick my neck out here and say this is as good as England are going to get under Southgate.

Just blow it up ref. Sod the injury time. Nobody cares.

Kane should be embarrassed receiving the golden boot

Ah well, Harry Kane still has possibly the crappiest Golden Boot ever to look forward to.

Well done the young lions, you made my heart swell with pride

Belgium's best ever WC, and well deserved tbh.

not sure about that, but hoddle saying it's a work-in-progress is laughable. belgium have hazard and de bruyne in midfield. we run.

or, as we're all saying these days.... we run again.

So basically couldn't beat anyone half decent within normal time? Phenomenal over-achievement though iirc.

not that good, but still better than expected.

Hoddle banging on about that Foden at Man City again, is he like Messi or something?

This must be your tenth post in this thread and I'm still no clearer as to where you stand on England.

I thought they’d be out in the group stages tbf.

Astounded they got this far. But let’s be honest attacking in open play England were absolute garbage.

Even the worst England sides of recent years would have struggled not to qualify ahead of Tunisia and Panama tbh.

Dismissing the idea that it's a phenomenal achievement is not an extreme, Ric.
