I must confess I like the last games in the group stage because the potential is there to spring a surprise. I thought Ecuador would get a draw and go through as runners up, the problem for them is evidently so did they. And this competition hasn’t always been kind to passive teams (and no bad thing)
There's usually more at stage although less fun when a draw suits both teams.Originally Posted by HCZ_Reborn

Saka dropped. Fuck off Southgate.
This

I’d suggest rested rather than dropped, we’ve all but qualified.
And I’m pretty happy for Arsenal players to not have to play too much.
England aren’t that good.
Maguire.
Rashford thinks he’s Messi.
Isn’t.
Well he may not be and out and out striker but on this showing he certainly isn’t a winger
