    Oh well, 2 for Brazil. Nice thought while it lasted. That Tadic fellow is rubbish, isn't he? :rolleyes:

    Renato Augusto. One of my FM go-to players.

    Brazil starting to look like Brazil...

    This negatively affects the chances of it coming home. Bad times.

    We were never going to lose Germany and Brazil in the same day. I quite fancy a quarter final v Brazil.

    Serbia just aren't quick enough in and around the box. Each player takes 3 seconds on the ball and too many touches. There's no one-touch stuff at all.

    Just as long as Pickford stays on his line at free kicks...

    Alot of teams are looking sluggish in these third games.

    Starting to think we should maybe rest 5 or so players tomorrow.

    I'd say it's cagey rather than sluggish.

    P'raps. But the Mexicans were a completely different team today. Serbia looked shattered too.

    It's a big advantage that we have over the sides in Group H - if we choose to use the advantage. Japan, Colombia and Senegal don't really have much choice but to again pick their strongest teams tomorrow. Any of them can still go home.

    Resting players tomorrow won't just assist with getting us 2nd place, it'll also keep our important players fresh. I don't see it happening, but I'd honestly be fine with our entire first XI being rested.

    (Although taking my England hat off, I think only Belgium - regardless of which half they go into - present an obstacle to a Spain-Brazil final.)
