Forget how good they are in relation to us, it must be incredibly frustrating - they've got some incredible attacking players but Southgate is really conservative in his team selection, they're starting tonight with 5 at the back, and Henderson and Rice in midfield. I think they did similar in their last Nations League games as well

**** England - who cares
Can't stand Southgate but England have a ridiculous amount of very good footballers
The defence does look like it's short of quality,. England have had lots of good centre backs for years now it's the area they are short on.
Who are they playing?
Ooh, Beligium. And it's on telly.
Eric Dire.
Southgate makes Giggs look like Guardiola.
Southgate is self righteous prick. A stubborn one at that.
It's facsinating to watch an international game with no crowd noise. Especially with a country without a common language.
England beating Belgium tonight they will be nailed on to win the world Cup in tomorrow's tabloids.
