    Kinsmann calling out anyone for sportmanship is a bit hypocritical.

    Mancini at the Euro’s and now Enrique here have shown their game management nous and made the right substitutions at the right time. So key to getting over the line in games yet Southgate never seems to grasp it.

    Think Germany have shaded this all told.

    He has took full advantage of Werner and Nmecha injuries to make his mark.

    What did everyone make of Spain vs Germany then. I thought it was ok but neither looked like world beaters?

    I thought they were both very good in spells.

    After losing 7:0 in their first game .. Costa Rica can win the group if results fall favourably

    I’ve not seen all the games but has anyone really looked like World beaters? I think most have mixed starts to be honest which is probably to be expected.

    And it not even that unlikely. They beat Germany and Japan and Spain is a draw would do it.

    France have looked the best to me. But not unbeatable.

    Both crying out for a good striker. Would look much better with a focal point

    I think there is a shortage of quality strikers across the World Cup.

    Spain most likely lose a quarter final against Brazil. Germany have a decent chance of losing the semi final against France. After beating Marocco and Portugal in the knock outs.

    Takes one back to Salvatore Schillaci who had played 7 seasons in the lower divisions before Juve signed him and after one season he stood there as the world cup top scorer. First capped in March same year and came on as sub in the first two group games.

    Don't think you necessarily need a top quality striker. A decent one in form who works for your formation is often enough. Problem last night was Spain and Germany didn't start with a centre forward, and they both looked more dangerous once Morata and Fullkrug came on. It might work against second or third tier teams, but you need everyone else completely on their game without one.

    Brazil have so many attackers it’s hard to see who might actually beat them despite the fact they haven’t been playing that well.

    Uruguay will have to beat Ghana in their final group match to stay in the tournament. I remember the controversial 2010 quarter-final between the two teams.

    Felt like knock-out quality match rather than just group stage.

    The Belgian squad sounds like it is totally divided. Eden Hazard apparently had a massive row with Vertonghan and Lukaku had to separate them. Hazard and Trossard also hate each other and Courtois and De Bruyne have never liked each other

    KDB doesn’t like anyone apparently ..

    Remember this in a Belgium training session from a couple of years ago
