WORLD CUP 2018 - FIXTURES & RESULTS

Thanks for that, am looking forward as my first trip, we are staying a few miles outside in a place called Gerani, short bus ride in.

 

World cup games brought to another low today watching Japan v Poland, just a joke.

 

England making 8 changes....

 

Come on Roberto and Belgium.

 

Is he wearing brown shoes?

 

Gerani is a fairly new resort, nice spot too!.....

 

Belgium looking the better at the minute, Martinez has them playing well, really good organised unit, considering this is Belgium's second team!....

 

Belgium by far the better team.......

 

Martinez has still got it with his passing game...England are happy with the score line as it is i should imagine, Even if they score now they will still finish runner up and avoid the harder of the two paths through to the latter stages.....

 

There ends the Group stages. Germany the surprise omission from the Final 16. Senegal missing out on bookings!! With Italy not even making it to Russia, it looks bare on quality...……..it's anyones to win.

This was a second string Belgium side that completely out played Ingerland, and played around with them in the end, Belgium could have had 3 or 4 goals, if they had been a bit more clinical, I like the work that Martinez and Henry have done with Belgium, far better footy than ingerland........

 

PGF are you serious! ‘Bare on quality’? No way..........

 

Phil - in fairness, Ingerland made 8 changes as well, so England Seconds lost to Belgium Seconds

 

I still fancy Spain to start playing, cant see England getting past Columbia, despite all the hype of their first 2 games. Like to see a new name on the trophy with either Belgium or Croatia for me, so that has probably condemned the both of them.

 

No such thing as second string anyway. They all got chosen for their range of abilities that why they are there.....

 

.... but you wouldn’t pick all of/the majority of those guys in your best team.... one or two maybe

 

I see ITV still trying to spin how good England are. **** I hope they lose to Columbia and then we can enjoy the tournament for what it is.

 

I think with the way Belgium keep the ball and dominate possession, they will go far, fair play to Martinez, they are a joy to watch........

 

Agree, though it shows the quality Belgium have got in the depth of their squad.

 

Agree, but I still didn’t expect Belium to dominate and control a game against England, was a joy to watch.........
