Just saw this tweet - Belgium qualify for the World Cup just 3 years after they were ranked 62nd in the world.

Its crazy how many good players they have.

Will be interesting to see how Baines deals with Blaszackowski on Tuesday. That will be a test off just how good he is.

Not really, for the last two seasons he's shown his worth, in my opinion he's Englands best LB.

Maybe Cole's better defensively (even though stats prove otherwise), but Baines offers so much more in attack.

One more game, just one more. Please do it lads, for us:

fair point, but Blazha is probably the best right mid he has faced for quite a while.

Thought Sturridge was excellent tonight I would have given him MOM ,, Baines certainly should be picked ahead of Ashley ... Gerard was KRAP

Against weak teams we should play baines for the attacking benefit.

Vs harder teams we should play cole for the defensive benefit.

The T shirt looks sexy on her. See you in Brazil.

Anyways, Go Bosnia-Herzegovina

In that case, Cole is gonna play all of England's game in the WC.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

actually, baines/cole have to be the best options u can have for LBs.

RBs are the one who give me the creeps. johnson, walker. i would rather play jones (the face) over any of england's proper right backs.

ps - be happy that england are playing with rooney and sturridge upfront. in 2010 WC they played with heskey in that position.

Anything but Smalling

Meh, you are always like that and then you step up in the play-offs. But, we'll see how you'll do against an opponent that isn't Bosnia and Herzegovina (hopefully ).

Portugal didn't win?

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Good night lads

[Barbara 15,149]

Where did you hear that?

It is one of the biggest lies I have seen here!

did I miss something?

Never heard of people being killed in Brazil cause of football... that would be a first.

They are definitely the favourites to win it, but I think we can still win it.

I also believe in Brazil and I'll supporting us mainly - only bc of Felipao though as he's one of the few managers I trust as CBF is the heck of corruption.

I think German are faves and Belgium is my underdog

so pleased England won tonight ...Dont usually care ,,but had £90 on them and won £30
