South America get almost half the continent to qualify? Bit lop-sided!

It'll be more than half the continent I think! Their qualifying group has been a 10-team league in recent years.

Oh yes you're right! Had no idea Guyana & Suriname played in the CONCACAF confederation.

Such a pointless match! Who cares whether we finish third or fourth?!!!

 

Is there actually a good reason why they have this game in the cup? It's not as though there is a bronze medal like in the Olympics. Or is there? :/

The winner of the match will get bronze medals.

 

 

It may seem pointless now but I'm sure if England win and get 3rd place it will be mentioned for years to come by the media and when they do the Sports Personality Of The Year awards show at the end of this year it will definitely be mentioned rather than just saying that they got to the semi final. Exactly the same way that the Croatia team of 1998 are talked about is how this England team would be talked about if they win this match.

 

 

On the subject of Sports Personality Of The Year I think Harry Kane is a shoe in to win the main award this year.

I think the team award will go to the England squad but the main prize will go to AJ.

Jones, Loftus-cheek, Rose and Delph all getting a starting run out today and the rest of the line up remains the same.

And we're off! Hopefully England have recovered enough to perform here.

It will be interesting to see what the ratings for this match will be. I imagine that it will be far less than the same time last Saturday when England played Sweden, the ladies Wimbledon final will probably beat it as well.

Well that's a great start.

Hopefully we can get something in this match.

Oh... :( hope we can at least get one goal during this match.

 

(also Lukaku to stay away from Kane's golden boot)

And England are behind here.

It is a weak team unfortunately. This is no surprise.

Kane really should have scored there :(

Saw the rest of Djokovic v Nadal, have I missed much?

And being brought on, Lingarrd and Rashford.

England have started this second half off better. Still no goal though.

Ideally need a goal in the next 5 minutes, England do.

Well no goal then, Kane still anonymous in this game.

That Dier chance was SO CLOSE. How are these not going in?
