And so we move onto Belgium.

If there is anyone with a modicum of interest in this overhyped friendly, please feel free to call the samaritans.

As you know, the Spy really doesn't give flying ****!

I suffered the Brazil friendly on Saturday and my God, there are no verbs bad enough to do it justice.

Backwards, sideways, backwards, sideways ad infinitum and it's been like this ever since Southgate has been the manager.

All he wants to do is draw 0-0 and his team selections reflect that.

Why does EVERY attack result in a cross?

There are other ways you know Gareth. 

He hasn't learned a thing in all the years he's spent as England boss, boring the pants off the fans who still care.

I'm not one of them, so don't worry about me. 

The spineless FA should've got rid of this cretin and his moronic sidekick Steve Holland after they failed miserably at the last World Cup. Again.

Southgate is useless, always has been always will be.

No wonder Ben White spent the weekend in Dubai with his feet up rather than be an understudy to the cement mixer that is Maguire - and they say England don't have any decent centre backs?

They need a new manager urgently.

So another two years wasted. We should be excited about Euro 24, looking forward to an exciting new manager, with new tactics, new players and new formations. New motivation.

All we have is same old, same old. How they make England favourites, I'll never know. Maybe Southgate's Mum works for a bookie.

We'll be on the first plane home as soon as we meet a half decent side. Again.

Hang your collective heads in shame FA. I blame you. And whilst I'm on the subject of England, the kits are horrendous. 

Who signed off on a 1991 Spurs retro kit? All it needs is 'Holsten' as the sponsor and it's an exact colour replica.

Pass the sick bucket. As for the horrible brown/maroon away kit, it will be the worst kit at the tournament.

Along with the worst team and the worst manager.

Congratulations F.A. You've hit the jackpot.
