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

I think that's true but in mitigation there are a few games win the next four games we are world champions I know that's unlikely but injury wise it's perfectly possible to get through four games especially as most were rested today

tbh i am not unhappy that we lost, wasnt bothered either way, its all or nothing for me, and by losing we have a better chance of winning { i know its unlikely } and rash couldnt finish his dinner when wearing a england shirt

off too benidorm for the next match, will be lively !!!

I also think most of our rivals have tight squads what's the talent depth in Colombia Sweden Switzerland ?

no idea TBH, lol, hopefully worse than ours i hope, imagine spain is better, and prob the germam squad was,,,, onpaper !!

fingers crossed,

Funny how people are saying we have the easier side of the draw, Columbia will batter us, too many people thinking about future games, the Columbia midfield is much better than ours, they will control the game.

I tuned in to watch the game last night, God the first half was dismal, but after the goal, England turned it up a couple of notches.

But it always looked like Belgium could step it up if required, the Belgium 'B' team had players in it that would walk into our first team, they have a much better team/squad, luckily we did not require anything out of the game to qualify as our first 2 games were against very poor teams.

Looks like James Rodríguez maybe out of the game due to injury, he is Columbia's best player and part of their excellent MF, so if he is out, England have a great chance.

Yes, but to be fair England didn't have their first choice players out last night either, so it was largely B v B but I take your point, on paper Belgium have them stronger side, but paper doesn't count for all that much if the underdog is really well organised, focused and up for it, anything can happen. I haven't seen Columbia in action yet, so I don't really know what they have to face, but by all accounts it could be one of the games of the tournament, I'm thinking of tuning in for that one also.

Columbia is crap, they played one good game

Oh maybe I won't tune in after all. Some were saying Columbia were a good side, so I thought it would be worth watching.
