I don’t think we fizzled out, they upped their game. It’s a World Cup semi final there was no way we were going to dominate like we did in the first half for 90 mins. That’s why we needed to take our chances. Should’ve been 3-0 at half time
As good a moment as Trippier's free-kick was, the keeper didn't make any effort to dive and it wasn't in the corner - good flight on the ball and everything else, but the GK should be saving that or at least making an attempt to.
and I'm very surprised people haven't twigged today is the battle with a Belgium "team" but the war could well end next month as they say we'll meet again !!! for the final curtainit happened in 1962 as we all know czecks in same group as brazil and met in the final think czecks got a measly 3 points in the group

Or Germany v Turkey?Got a recollection the third place game in that competition was also a group stage game, or maybe a semi-final.

What we can see is Jones is not good enough, Dier to slow be the central pivot. Sterling not afront two player. Rose not good enough Delph better there than him.
Yeah, I’ve never really seen the fuss about Dier, but I really rate Sterling, although he seems to panic whenever he has time on the ball in or just outside the box. But don’t think you can read too much into this game either way. As Cantley Rover posted, it’s pretty much like a friendly.
Played really well this 2nd half. Should’ve scored at least 1

All over now
We're just too slow in our build up play, we need to learn how to counter like the Belgians do
Played very well second half. Plenty to build on.
