Rashford better as an impact sub. Dier woeful. TAA ok, Rose average can see why Southgate prefers young who can at least whip in a decent cross. Disappointed by RLC.
Day 15: Japan vs Poland, Senegal vs Colombia, England vs Belgium, Panama vs Tunisia

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He had a ridiculous conversion rate the first 4-5 months he played. It was obvious he'd never be able to keep it up (was like 2-2.5x the rate of the best strikers in the world).
Belgium needs an own-goal 
Fellaini has been decent
On the evidence of this game Southgate's first XI really is the best XI. No one making a serious claim to get into the first XI here.
Never seen Fellaini win so many fouls.
This is dross from England.
I can understand why he has done it. It's a good idea until it goes wrong.
What? Have I just seen Fellaini taking on a player?
It's weird how rashford generally has good striking technique but his finishing is pretty woeful. Like 1 on 1 with a goalkeeper I never have faith in him. Loses all composure
Had Vardy done anything in this match besides cut Vermaelan’s head.
The team that lines up against Columbia would look nothing like this one.
Worse game than France - Denmark
Really don't see much difference bar Kane's ability to whack them in. Middling team overall.
Don't think anybody here has played their way into the first 11.
Skeletor coming on.
This is weird, I'm annoyed we are losing... But happy we're finishing second...
Think Rashford would have more confidence in the first team. This team doesn’t play with anything like the confidence and it looks like it’s rubbing off on him.
Dier is a bag of shit.
It’s still arrogant. England should be grateful to even have a last 16 game it doesn’t matter who against. This is the same country that lost to Iceland. They should be trying to keep momentum.
Delph going home after this as his wife is expecting. Just what was the point in playing him then?!?
Switched from Belgium to England last minute I'm a thick cnut
He looks more like Handsome Squidward, surely.
There is no excuse for that kind of miss.
I don’t think so, and not just because of the goal.
No. At least he is no doubt who is first eleven are.
One sick-note replaces another.
I just realize; half of english squad on this world cup are not regulars in their teams.
Lot of the same players too. But sure, that was 2 year ago.
Yep. Question marks for rose over young but rose has been poor. Dier has been poor if compared with henderson. As much critism as sterling gets hes better for the system than rashford or vardy
The same applies to Belgium, no?
Can't believe Rashford missed that. He came onto the scene because he showed such calmness and composure in front of goal, but he's become more inconsistent in that regard in the last couple of years. Obviously he's a young player and youngsters are bound to be inconsistent, but as a striker he really should be burying more chances than he has - that 1v1 he just had was illustrative of where his game is right now.
Yeah he missed on purpose, the state of this thread FFS
Seriously, some people in here! Madness!
This game is worse than a friendly to judge players. Who knows the motives!
I can’t figure out what both teams want from this match, got a feeling last 10 mins Belgium will gift England a goal or a chance to level like a penalty, but England will want to miss that too.
