    To be honest... You don't expect to see England dominating possession in a latter stage WC match, yet here we are!

    You jinxed it!

    Everything breaks down on the 18-yard line

    Dier and Rose showing why they didn't start games

    I remember Rose was very good going forward a couple of years ago. What has happened to him?..... Injury?
    He injured his knee against Man City the January before last then was out for almost a year and Ben Davies became Spurs first choice LB.
    Any theories on why Kane's been blowing out his arse after 20 minutes?
    To me, he hasnt looked 100% fit since he came back from injury in March/April. He hasnt looked anywhere near fit for the entire World Cup.

    Odd to think he's not had the best WC but is still gonna win the golden boot!

    VAR is the real winner.

    45-minutes of sideways and backwards passing. I feel so entertained

    Yeah I'm watching, there's been pretty much every world cup where we haven't been involved still at this stage. I'm down the pub and it's empty of the passionate part timers. Just me and my horrible cynical mates
  • Watching it and can't really understand why anyone who has been passionate about England this World Cup wouldn't. Sure, it's a meaningless game really and a real comedown after the semi-finals but I think it's important to get behind the team in what could be our best finish since 1966. Plus the Golden Boot should be resolved in this game and if Kane scores he will have the most goals since Ronaldo in 2002.

    You answered your own question there.

    For me he was superb up until and including the Colombia game. Wouldn't be surprised if he picked up a knock in that game that Southgate wanted kept quiet as he's been pretty ineffective since.

    Horrible cynical mates who prop the place up the rest of the year I will add, not the once every four year mob who they were so keen to look after. No free beer for us if England score

    Never understood the constant calls for Rose to play, especially as he’s off the back of a poor, injury hit season.

    Having a player who can play the final decisive killer pass is everything. That’s the difference between these two teams. We get loads of possession but don’t create the chances

    Much better second half. Just lacking that killer instinct in the box.

    Certainly could've used some of his creativity.

    Loftus-Cheek should have featured more for England. Hopefully he will in future.

    Strikers finish from Dier. Very unlucky.

    Ouch that clearance off the line hurts. Should be 1-1...

    For England’s sake he needs to leave Chelsea (or Hazard needs to and he gets a starting berth)
