KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Should England throw the Belgium game to avoid Brazil/Mexico

Got to admit, Sweden or Switzerland could be just as tricky (especially Switzerland) but the Neyma circus is probably best avoided me finks.

sounds like belgium have the same idea re the comments from martinez i predict 30 all with 60 own goals before every player gets sent off for foul play to reduce the fair play score the last player on pitch nuts the ref and is dismissed

Looks like it's going to be a shitty game as the France/Denmark One. Good that it's the later game as if they don't play to win, will sleep early.

Now that's a game I'd pay to see!

Treat every game as a knock out game.

Winning breads confidence. Go for the win. Brazil haven't been great and Sweden best Mexico 3-0.

Nah, momentum is huge in this kind of tournament. A win makes England look really scary, pretty much the only "big" team to not have a major setback. Winning breeds confidence, which breeds more winning.

The only hope is that they both play their second teams with players trying to impress else it would be a dull game, same as France Denmark

There's a lot of pressure on us to beat Columbia now.

If we got passed Japan and knocked out by Brazil or whoever it would have still been a successful tournament.

Lose against Columbia and it's not gonna be good.

Don't know what to think presumably Colombia are better than Japan so we might not get to face Brazil anyway

Another part of me thinks Colombia or Sweden or Switzerland to get to the semi finals is doable don't get me wrong England are well capable of losing to any of them. But Brazil ? Not confident of that at all they and Spain are the best for me. If England got to the semis the country would be in meltdown

Will leave as I start don't know what to think it could be bad it could be good

england squad is a bit like ours, good starting 11, but the back up players are severeley lacking in depth, and dont start me off on dier and rashford !!!!!!
