C’mon England!

 

[Whitechapel]

Really conflicted about this game.

Obviously an England win would build momentum and dispell the ‘we’ll fall apart when we face a good team’ chat that seems to be prevalent.

However finishing 2nd is a much easier route to the final, and from a selfish point of view England to finish on 5 or 6 points could be the last leg of a 37/1 acca I put on before the World Cup started. (Russia 5-6 points, France 6+, Brazil 6+, Colombia 5+)

I don’t know what I want.

Win! It will be great seeing Cane smash a few past the Belgians!

Is that Cane as in Hurricane?

Harry Cane, the England striker!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I want a win tonight, but won't be upset at a draw or loss.

 

[Easy 10]

I really don't like the fact that there is a distinct DOWNSIDE to winning tonight. If we go a goal up, its like there's going to be a caveat, or an asterisk next to it.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Good luck to England on their long-awaited return to competitive football

Reports abound of Belgium resting up to 9 players.

The other matches were competitive btw. They were in a competition. Which competition, oh yeah, the world cup. Not all countries are competitive enough to qualify. Or have been competitive enough to qualify for a very long time.

Roberto Martinez "Our priority is not to win the game tonight"

 

[Is it PotG?]

We should be able to win comfortably if they are resting Hazard & Co.

Seems winning the group/momentum/show of togetherness and strength isn't top of Martinez' priorities.

 

[Dick Head]

Harry Cane, the England striker!

Oh, I see. Him.

If it's a draw then it goes to fair play doesn't it? We are ahead of Belgium on that so far by the looks of it.

Thread title is all wrong. Were bound to loose.

Correct, hence us sitting on top of the group by our 2 bookings so far to their three.

Southgate has already jokingly suggested that he may head butt Martinez if the 'situation' calls for it.

He sounds almost as unhinged as our Chris.

Pfft! Southgate would piss in his knickers if Chris so much as glanced at him.
