    Belgium have started playing really badly. I can't really understand. If they click second half it could be a rout as I say, but...they keep taking the wrong option

    It's really not as easy as you think. I'd bet if we all picked our starting XI for 2022 no one would get more than 4-5 right. 4 years ago who had heard of Rashford? There was a feature on Gabriel Jesus last week saying that in 2014 he helped paint the streets of his town before the tournament, 4 years later he's their number 9.

    If i was to pick mine i'd go with the likes of Pickford, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Foden, Alli, Sancho, Sterling, Kane as the nucleus of my side but you just don't know.

    As per those names you've mentioned you can guarantee there will be someone unknown as if an 18 year old gets called up they're currently 14 so we wont have a clue about them at the moment

    Don't think anyone would have predicted Hart would lose the shirt 4 years ago. Shaw, Ox, Sturridge Wilshire would be in and around the team now if their injury records were better.

    Surprised none of them called Walcott or Rooney in any of those teams as well so not that lazy journalism I think I would have had them still in the team 4 years ago.

    Michael Johnson was a quality player.

    With the lack of support and touches, Lukaku must think he's playing for Mourinho again

    Hopefully we can rest some players against Panama, dont need injuries to key players the way they're currently kicking Belgium off the pitch

    Belgium play with a bit of pace and incisiveness, and it's a completely different game

    They need to test the 'keeper first

    Four shots on target for Belgium, none of them have really tested the Panama Goalie and took a wondergoal to beat him

    Not a clue but he lost his way and put on a lot of weight I seem to remember.

    Panama are a shithouse team. Should have had a bet on yellow cards.

    think there could be a first red card in the last 24 world cup games on the way here.

    Can’t wait ‘til we have 48 teams involved.

    Pretty much all the top sides look vulnerable in behind. Pace is the key this tournament

    Apart from 5-0 Russia in the first game and 2-0 Croatia, every match has been decided by one goal (or a draw).

    Has Dembele been injured?

    If not then it's incredible that he doesn't start.

    Floodgates have opened. Panama rivalling Saudi as the tournaments worst side.

    Did I just hear Mark Lawrenson correct, saying Darío Gómez is known as "The Truncheon" for obvious reasons
