I put £10 on Iceland to win their group.

Daft, did I hear you say?

It's more likely to happen than England winning the final, according to the bookies.

I'm actually more optimistic than usual. I'm in Spain so I'm a bit remote from the UK but there doesn't seem to be the usual hype that happens before a major tournament.

Pretty sure we'll easily get out of the group then anything can happen

Poland will top their group, Belgium will top England's, setting up Poland v England. Poland have got good players and are vastly more experienced than this England team...

I seem to remember that some mathematician worked out that if they didn't play any friendlies they would somehow get a high FIFA ranking and so would be seeded, so that's what they did. No idea what they're like apart from Lewandowski who is shit hot.

From ESPN :

FIFA has announced that its World Ranking system has been overhauled to prevent manipulation by nations to move up the table and earn key seedings at tournaments and qualification groups.

The present system uses an average score based over a five-year period. However, as friendlies are worth significantly fewer points than competitive games simply playing them is guaranteed to drag down a nation's average score.

Some countries have actively avoided playing friendlies to protect their average score, while other teams -- such as England, Italy and Spain -- consistently play more friendlies and see their score fall.

It still relies on the nations that benefit having strong competitive records, but because of it Switzerland were seeded at the last World Cup finals, Wales seeded for European World Cup qualifying, and Poland seeded for the 2018 group-stage draw.

Well they need to find a way to stop the last games in the group ending up like this one . Neither team gives a fuck and it’s just tedious .

Maybe have another team in every group , or even two more in each group .

The crowd are booing and whistling and it reminds me of the disgrace of Gijon in 1982 when Austria and West Germany played out a 1-0 to ensure both teams qualified .

Boring and meaningless games like this are a disgrace , and we will have one like it against Belgium on Thursday . Such a shame .

None of the following to worry about (at this stage).

Holland

Italy

Germany

Brazil - could join that trio but I doubt it.

Argentina - been awful for most of their games.

Spain - been iffy in both games.

It's a great opportunity for one of the more optimistic lesser nations this year (so far)

I honestly think there is a mental cloud hanging over England when Germany and Argentina. They must get a huge boost knowing they have don't have to worry about playing them.

To me, Germany have beaten England before the game even kicks off. Of course I'm wrong but it's a hard thing for England to shake off.

Or maybe it's just the pundits and fans and the players know/think better

It's good that any team that's given too high a credence without proof in current play form, with Germany they often pull it out at the end but it can't always be relied upon.

Reason why I was happy Germany went out was

It’s been interesting see big football countries struggling in the competition such as Germany, Argentina and Brazil

It would potentially been a team we face on way to the final

And

Obviously the history between German and English football since 66

right.... if you are england.... and you know your route to the semi-final could be japan/senegal... followed by the winner of sweden/switzerland..... but you have to come 2nd in the group...... what do you do?

i am thinking it the yellow card count is equal send on danny welbeck and get him to deliberately handball the ball in their half to get a yellow........

I know Gareth had been saying the right things. "We play to win" etc, etc, but you've gotta think the possibility of an 'simpler' rite to the semi's has crossed the mind of the squad members.

Martinez has already pretty much said he's putting out a second string.

England should do too. Give some of the squad players game time and see what happens.

Coming second in the group will definitely be a benefit long term with a potential quarter final with Switzerland or Sweden but Brazil haven't been impressive and Mexico weren't great today so there is an argument for keeping the momentum going with a strong line up.

Personally, I'd change the entire team. What would you do?

Couple of changes. Keep the foot on the gas. Winning is a good habit in any tournament situation.

I would make maybe 3 or 4 changes,I feel that keeping the momentum going is far more important.
