Although in the immediate aftermath

I repeat:
I'll be watching.
Those who say the players won't be interested have never played on a football team. Stupid!
The Belgians will put out their top eleven. And I expect Southgate to do the same. Every player on the pitch will be playing his heart out.
Third place is the best England has done in a long long long time! And many of them may never play a WC game again!
So ...... it will be a good game, maybe one of the best, open, nothing to lose, much to make a statement on for the future.

Well said Ted.

If we didn't win, it really would reemphasise the incapability of England to beat a big team still, and show how much we were flattered by an easier draw. Still, I enjoyed the ride.

Although a pointless game, I'm looking forward to it. I think both sides wil want to win and will go for it knowing a defeat doesn't really matter, apart from pride.

Harmony is back on the board.

Another loss, and I'll be left wondering just when we're actually going to beat a big team under Southgate. He hasn't even beaten a big team in the friendlies yet.

I would agree with that, if we can win today and then in a future we get drawn against the likes of Spain, France, Germany we will have more belief we can actually beat them in a knock out match.
