He's doing it on purpose. Has to be.

This is worse than Mascarell v Forest and De Sart v Brighton.

He's avoided involvement. His positioning is embarrassing. His hiding when we have the ball is humiliating. His passing is back where it came from.

He jogged the whole game.

Should be ashamed. Awful awful performance that should bury his England career until every English DM in the top 4 leagues has had a worse game than that. 

Wasn't down to an off day. Was down to being a thick lazy coward  

Dembele must be the best midfielder in the world if he makes Dier look like a half competent player at Spurs!

Pretty sure people thought the same when we avoided Portugal and got Iceland.

After Iceland we had France, Italy, Germany and Spain awaiting us in the quarter-final and semi-final.

How can you possibly compare.

Imagine 12 months ago you were told that England didn’t have to play Belgium, Brazil, Italy, Chile, Holland, Germany, Argentina, Portugal, France or Uruguay in a single knockout match to reach the final.

You would have laughed your nut off.

Paraguay actually beat Colombia in qualifying

South American qualifying is notoriously very tough because teams have to cope with external factors such as high altitude. They did finish 2nd to be fair to them though, ahead of Chile, Uruguay, Argentina etc. James Rodríguez being injured is a massive advantage to England though

Because everyone thought it was a guarantee we'd beat Iceland.

The path to the quarters is irrelevant if we lose to Colombia. Sweden and Switzerland aren't bad sides either. It's so arrogant to think these teams will be easy to beat.

We deserve to lose to Colombia just for the fact that we're considering it the ''easy road'' it's the world cup. No game is easy. Our mindset is frankly embarrassing and we should be ashamed of it.

Pathetic from Southgate. Should be ashamed of himself, setting out to lose is embarrassing and weak. Alexander Arnold, Vardy, Rashford and Dier were all absolutely shocking tonight. 

Think you're confusing a manager who's loyal to his squad over sending a team out to lose mate. 

poo performance agreed but we didn't go out to lose, we just changed playing personnel. Good decision? We'll know by 9pm Tuesday.

We absolutely did go out to lose. We went down to Belgium with loads of time to change it. Where was Kane? Where was Trippier? If Southgate wanted to win, they'd have been on, it's patently obvious Southgate had no interest in winning the game.

The only conclusion I came to watching that utter tripe is that Belgium's B team is about 10 times better than England's B team.
