But if your England you don't want a bad performance to unleash all the bad memories.

I'd rather win and take our chances on the hard side of the bracket.

Yeah, it seems like it would be a mistake for England to not at least play hard and see where they stack up against a top team like Belgium. Belgium might be playing the best of any team in this WC, so if they can play well against them and possibly beat them, they'd have a lot of confidence against any other team they might face.

Pretty entertaining so far.

It may be each side's B team, but at least they aren't in lockdown shitty ass Italy mode.

Honestly, I hope whoever ends up in the "easier" half of the bracket get stomped by Columbia.

I don't know man, I've seen a lot of these kinds of games in the World Cup (where two good teams are already through) and at least they are making runs and trying to score.

A handful of players look to be trying to impress their manager, but for the most part it's been played like a friendly.

Hate it for Senegal. The knockout is going to be fun though potentially.

Feels like to me several teams could win Croatia maybe?

Well that was fun... Argentina really brought it in their last two games. Now I have Colombia left to root for.
