It's a defence mechanism.
A more effective one than our back four will probably be displaying.

I don't understand how Belgium are only 44th in the world. They have quite a few good players at their disposal, a number of them would surely be in the England squad.
Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
Morouane Fellaini (Everton)
Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea)
Vincent Kompany (Man City)
Thomas Vermaelen (Arsenal)
Jan Vertonghen (Ajax - likely Tottenham soon)
Daniel Van Buyten (Bayern Munich)
Simon Mignolet (Sunderland)

Yep im with you,first time ever i,ve no interest what's so ever.Its a sad state of affairs to feel this way but i feel the players don't feel honoured to wear the shirt and players get picked by reputation rather than performances.

These too:
Thibaut Courtois - Chelsea
Kevin De Bruyne - Chelsea
Axel Witsel - Benfica
Steven Defour - Porto
They have their best generation of players for 25 years but their problem is that they haven't been able to get a decent manager since the legendary Guy Thijs. They briefly had Dick Advocaat a couple of years ago but he left them in the lurch after only a few months. At the moment they only have a caretaker in former player Marc Wilmots who was the assistant to the last manager George Leekens who just left to take over at Club Brugge. I would feel sorry for them but I'm an England supporter so I've used up all my sorrow!

And it's all gone quiet..
2-1 to Belgium tonight, Hazard brace and Henderson.
The media will go wild and expectations will be lowered for the Euros, which we will win.
Heard it here first

You can get great odds on a Belgium win and I'm surprised so many are predicting the opposite.
This is a big match for Belgium while only a warm up for England.
Woy will be anxious to protect our best players ahead of the Euros while the Belgium lot will be off on their hols after this.
And on paper, Belgium have arguably a better first XI than England.
I've stuck a couple of quid on a Belgium win.

It's not just all of a sudden although the last time I followed the England team abroad was to Frankfurt in the world cup (absolutely fantastic few days). I just can't be doing with all those pre madona, over paid players. I'm still as interested in the national game as the players seem to be.....in other words can't be bothered.
Fair enough, but some people are saying. 'I can't be bothered this time' which is just a bit embarrassing, presumably because we stand no chance of winning.

Really like Welbeck as a player. He's more like Darren bent than anyone else, running in behind and finishing well. With Carroll, defoe and Rooney after 2 games we do have options. The midfield injury problems though are disappointing to say the least. Wilshire, Barry and Lampard.
Sitting in upper tier on halfway. Only comment I'd make is young is truly shocking

In the last world cup i decided that was it! I actually believed we would go far, however it was the same again! !
I again believed that the turning point would be the Game against Germany! We got shown how far behind we are in world football and due to this, until things change in the Offices of FA HQ i wont be bothering and will save my money thanks!
