Whatever you do dont mention the world cup

Dicksy I have very much took a level stance from all the games. Improvement? Yes. Have I seen anything to make me think they will get into the semi? No. Unless of course I can include how so many big names haven't impressed me. So for me even before the Belgium game we have a whole lot more to do to be serious contenders. That said there have been some positive signs. I'm not hold much into the Belgium game neither team really gave a monkeys. The bit I hated was how mN City and spurs players from both nations were having a laugh and joke. Hope Southgate cracks the whip on that. Although I really cared nothing about that game i did however feel there were far too many changes. 3 or 4 would have been enough. For me it proved several players aren't good enough to rely on. The only players we are likely to have to contribute from the bench are ratchford vardy, dire, loft us cheek and maybe a keeper. The rest are just wasting a seat on the bench.

Victories over Tunisia and Panama are nothing special. At the same time, there have been recent cups in which England didn't even make it out of the group stages. And there were periods in both wins where England bossed the game (as well they should). So you could say SFSG. Columbia will be a test. They are unpredictable, will likely employ a fair bit of gamesmanship, may have the upper hand in crowd and official sentiment, and can be deadly if given the opportunity. But England can't be overly cautious. That would play into their hands in my opinion. Let them double team Kane; cut Lingard loose and pray that Sterling breaks his duck. Then you may see something special.
