England  v Belgium
Very difficult to judge in the grand scheme of things. Both teams making lots of changes n was it best to finish 1st or 2nd in the group.  Taking the game as a 1 off Belgium were certainly the better team won . Think Columbia will give England a good game.  Belgium must be in with a shout

It was like watching England at every other tournament. Dull as dishwater, huffed and puffed but didnt blow the house down. Columbia will be a tough game. I dont buy into the they planned it line and pundits are getting carried away again with semi final talk. But still. We go again.

Wasn't very impressed with England tonight. But, England expects to make it past the group stage and it did. I doubt they will go much further. Having watched all the teams play now I would put my money on Brazil with a side bet on Spain.

Agree with above comments,a very typical England performance.They did'nt seem to have much idea,and agree totally the better team won.Stating the blindingly obvious it could go either way against Colombia,but play like that and i think that will be the end of Englands World Cup adventure.

Was all a bit nothing really wasn't it? I don't think that was what we will see against Colombia though, more of an opportunity for squad members to get some playing time under their belt. Cracking goal from the Belgian fella  :)

Did you read one of the comments for that song? Here it is:

From vengeance to football how sad.

The guy kind of nailed it.

 I felt the same when New Order released that World Cup "World In Motion" song.
From "Ceremony" to a soccer song, how sad.

There always 1 sad person willing to be negative. Probably some troll hoping for a reaction.
Not my favourite nma song by a long way but it was for charity and a subject the band have never written about.It was clearly a 1 off fun song .For a football song it's 1 of the best. Vengeance was 35 years ago.

I think it was an excellent catchy football song they made. At the time of the 2014 World Cup, I did email the BBC with a link to the song / video  in the hope they may have used it in their highlights or goal rounds ups and pointed out that the band had a strong following in Brazil but sadly it came to nothing.

Out of interest, it is still the only song I have ever down-loaded.

Omg. Four years ago. Whats that all about?? Personally Im not keen but I support the reason for it and nothing wrong with a break from the norm.

I always thought that Manic Street Preachers did a cracker of a 'football song' with 'Together Stronger (C'mon Wales)' from Euro 2016...

Well I fancied France to beat Argentina but didnt expect the current 4-2 scoreline. I missed the last two goals hoovering my car. Not a great game but plenty of excitement. Quite impressed with France.
