I know Belgium are good, but I’m not having that Tunisia are the best African team. They are awful. And how did we only just beat em?

I think Batshuayi made a passable imitation of an English player. Could have had two hattricks!

Benalouane is absolutely awful  

 

Got to say Belgium have impressed me, although it's worth pointing out that if we could finish we'd have done very similar to Tunisia. Our finishing against them has potentially cost us top spot.

 

Lukaku had a very good game, Hazard unplayable. Belgium have probably been the most entertaining side to watch so far. Can see our game with them being excellent.

Assuming we beat Panama, unless its by about 6 goals, all Belgium will need to finish top is a draw. We'll have to see how the other groups work out before we know whether finishing first or second is better.

Group H is so open that there’s no benefit really. I think if England win on Sunday. Both teams will play reserves

the next round is where it’s beneficial. the odds and the positions currently suggest brazil/germany play top in our group, mexico/sweden/switzerland/serbia play second in our group in the quarters. 

 

if we finish second we could get to the semi final playing senegal and mexico.

It's a shame Serbia blew it yesterday as a win there would've given them a real chance of getting top spot in their group - meaning that if we'd won the group we'd have potentially had a quarter final on a Friday night against Serbia.

What FIFA should do is increase the World Cup to 48 teams so even more turd teams qualify.

They aren't. They are like Poland where they gamed the FIFA rankings. They are only good at home and good against no mark African sides. They also don't have any WC wins IIRC.
