    So, how do we think it will go against Belgium ? With both teams already through to the next stage , I expect both teams to rest players , so it's even more difficult to predict a result .

    I think I'll go for a draw .

    A draw will mean both teams have identical points and goal difference means having to use the fair play system which as it stands now England will be top of the group. Belgium have a yellow card more than England.

    I didn't think we'd get out of the group stage so anything further is a bonus!

    England needs to lose against Belgium in order to win an easier path to the final. But it will be the most boring game imaginable.

    "Robert Blundell, 49, from Worcester, was in the stadium with his son Thomas, 20, and was disappointed with the starting 11.

    "I genuinely feel I've been made a fool of because he changed the team so much," he said.

    "You've got to win every game. You've got to keep momentum, play strikers when they are hot.

    "You've got to play them all to win.

    "I've been watching England away for 20 years and it's the first time I've come away feeling I've been made a fool of.

    "I've got a ticket for the final but I think I'll be getting a refund."

    Both teams rested players, it was the right thing to do in my opinion, who knows what could have happened if Harry got injured. Now we have an easier side of the knockouts.

    If we want to win for the first time in 52 years, we have to avoid Brazil and we have done that in our possible way onwards.

    I only heard the game on the radio but you were correct, Markham.

    The fly in the ointment for England is that Russia has also qualified and is on the very same path to the finals as England.

    I'd rather England played Russia than Brazil.

    But you're not a travelling fan whose head might receive more kicks than the match ball.

    Must we?! After all, it's only a pursuit for over-paid prima donas dancing around a bag of air! :p. Mind you, the Womens' World Cup is in 2020 ... ;). But, joy of joys, it's the Rugby World Cup next year and I have high hopes for Wales :like:.

    Now you've lost me. Who and who?

    Oh right, was not thinking along that line of thought, more interested the actual game.
