I'm sure they'll play to win for that reason Sippo.

Question is whether players are rested. Personally don't like doing that, but England A losing to a Belgium B team could be confidence affecting.

Think I'd give Kane and a few others a rest, go for the win but not be concerned either way.

I would be inclined to play the 'A' team (not BA though) in the first half and if planning to rest anyone take them off at half time?

I'm all in for trying to win it, momentum is key.  Trying to plot a route seems amateur to me, would look pretty embarrassing if we played to get the more favourable side only to lose to Sweden for example anyway.

Concentrate on sticking to the principals of the team and go into games being feared rather than fearing them.

The only one I'd rest as such would be Jordan Henderson.... think he's been decent thus far, and given the work he does and that he was involved in the CL final, would make sense.

We don't know who has got niggles etc, but the wing backs do a lot of work so may be Rose and TA-A could get a run out

Indeed, do anything bar trying to win and we will invariably fuck it up.

Am I alone in finding the wank fest about Germany losing all rather tin pot.....

Yup! If you can't enjoy the one time we get further than them then what's the point. No doubt it'll bite us on the arse sooner or later, but until then....

I've no real problem with the mocking but it's a very one sided footballing rivalry though

Which is why we are making the most of it, might be another 80 years before Germany are this shit again.

I'm sure many Germans have enjoyed English failure over the years, the intense football rivalry aspect is an English creation.

Who do you see as your international rivalry then MS? Poland? Austria?

England have more than one so don't take it too seriously.
