HALF TIME: England 0-0 Belgium The referee lets four seconds of added time elapse, thinks “bugger this”, and blows for halftime. The crowd whistles their displeasure. As things stand, England will top Group G, Belgium having picked up three more yellow cards over the piece. Another 45 minutes of this excitement coming up! You can’t leave me here alone, you have to stay. See you soon!
Something happens! Delph curls one in from the right, earning a corner off Boyata. But Alexander-Arnold’s delivery is, for once, extremely poor.
Cahill makes a goal-line clearance. A cross into the box from Januzaj hits Fellaini and lands on Batshuyai’s feet. He toe pokes it underneath Pickford but the Chelsea captain slides in to clear it off the line.
Teilemans fouls Rose and gets the 1st card of the evening. In case this one ends in a draw, the Three Lions get the top spot courtesy of 2 yellow cards so far in this tournament to Belgium’s 4.
With the stars rested, the fringe players in both teams had a kickabout for 45 minutes. Maybe the managers will relent in the 2nd half and let the big boys out of their bubble wraps for the sake of the fans.
