There may be some proof to recommend that Lewis Dunk is struggling at this stage and he was at fault for Belgium’s second purpose when he didn’t have the power or the conviction to stop the ball reaching Romelu Lukaku. Those that condemn Southgate for warning when he shields England’s defence with two holding midfielders could also be beginning to realise why he does it.’Mainoo and Toney excellent’Craig Hope, Mail Sport, can also be very impressed with Kobbie Mainoo in the course of the park.I agree that Ivan Toney has additionally been spectacular.Spectacular MainooWe puzzled how Kobbie Mainoo would fare, effectively, he has answered very clearly – very effectively.At 18 years of age the Manchester United midfielder is without doubt one of the coolest males, or boys shall I say, within the stadium.His passing, motion, and link-up play are all wonderful. Top-of-the-line gamers on the pitch.’Davies was offside – marginally, sure, however offside’Tom Collomosse, Mail Sport, on the Cardiff Metropolis Stadium:Nice instance there of how VAR *ought to* work.

Wembley may be very flat now, you possibly can solely hear the Belgium followers in the intervening time.Though England could also be behind on the scoreline, they’ve nonetheless put in a really sturdy efficiency.They simply must maintain going and I can see them getting again on this sport as soon as once more.England 1-2 BelgiumCraig Hope, Mail Sport, at Wembley StadiumThat is without doubt one of the finest targets I’ve ever seen dwell at Wembley. Tielemans has been excellent to this point.That is an enormous assertion Craig – it was an excellent purpose!GOAL!!! England 1-2 Belgium (Tielemans 36′)
Two errors, two targets, and it is Youri Tielemans once more.

England have been good, however their errors are costing them. That mentioned, it was an exquisite purpose.England 1-1 Belgium
It would not appear like he’ll hand over on getting that first purpose although, Craig.Jarrod Bowen has a go once more, nevertheless it flies over the bar. I really feel he’ll get his purpose right now if he continues the best way he’s enjoying.Going by this efficiency, he strongly staking a declare for a spot on the airplane!England 1-1 BelgiumCraig Hope, Mail Sport, at Wembley StadiumThat’s an enormous factor to have taken away from you, your first England purpose, and at Wembley. It isn’t prefer it was the fifth in a routine dwelling win over Burnley.GOAL DISALLOWED! England 1-1 Belgium

England 1-1 Belgium
Massive save from Jordan Pickford.After some poor soccer along with his ft, he exhibits why he’s England primary.He strongly palms away Jeremy Doku’s stinging strike, it actually seemed prefer it was transferring.England then launch a counter-attack solely moments later, with Kobbie Mainoo closely concerned once more, however Jude Bellingham’s strike on the finish is blocked.England 1-1 BelgiumCraig Hope, Mail Sport, at Wembley StadiumThat got here from Mainoo’s constructive flip in the course of the park. He is made a superb begin, {the teenager}.GOAL!!! England 1-1 Belgium (Toney 17′)
Ivan Toney by no means misses, does he? Effectively, he hasn’t this time, after a bit stutter he cooly slots it into the underside lefthand nook.What a second that’s for the Brentford striker on his full England debut, particularly after the yr he has had.Jordan Pickford will probably be relieved, parity is restored.PENALTY TO ENGLAND!That is a stonewall penalty.It is Ivan Toney who’s fed by way of and brought out by Jan Vertonghen, it would not get a lot clearer than that.Now, can Toney rating on his full England debut from the spot?England 0-1 Belgium Craig Hope, Mail Sport, at Wembley StadiumJust as effectively for Jordan Pickford there isn’t a actual different in purpose…GOAL!!! England 0-1 Belgium (Tielemans 11′)That’s an absolute reward. That could be a poor error from Jordan Pickford, he tries a drilled move from the again whereas extensive of his purpose – it would not work.The ball bounces straight off Amadou Onana to Youri Tielemans, who drags the ball again throughout Pickford as he’s sprinting throughout purpose.Not the beginning, England wished – could not have gone a lot worse.SUBSTITUTION: England 0-0 Belgium
It appears to be like like there’s one other harm amongst the England ranks, and it is John Stones. He slipped on the retreat and should have felt one thing.Joe Gomez is approaching in his place, no probabilities being taken. It took simply 9 minutes for a participant to get injured.That is dangerous information for Manchester Metropolis too…England 0-0 Belgium
After a few early openings, this sport has considerably calmed down.England have to verify they do not sink into the sample that they did on Saturday.In any other case, it might be one other evening of disappointment.England 0-0 Belgium

The previous did very effectively towards Brazil on Saturday however Bowen additionally impressed when he got here on. It’s the flip of the West Ham winger to shine tonight. I feel this name is 60-40 in Gordon’s favour at current, as a lot due to his defensive work – and England have a possible weak point at left again. However a purpose for Bowen right here would possibly simply swing issues in his favour.Massive likelihood for KonsaThere was a time when England may have crammed a full group with right-backs.Effectively, now they’re beginning a centre-back in that place.As a result of all of the accidents, Ezri Konsa’s versatility was used on Saturday as he got here on towards Brazil, and is getting used right now from the beginning.It’s going to stand him in good stead for choice, it is at all times helpful to have somebody who can play in a number of positions.Let’s have a look at how he does then, eh?’Neither Cardiff nor Swansea represented in Rob Web page’s facet’Tom Collomosse, Mail Sport, on the Cardiff Metropolis Stadium:4 Leeds gamers, two from Tottenham, but not a single one within the Wales beginning XI from both of the nation’s two greatest golf equipment.With Aaron Ramsey on the bench, neither Cardiff nor Swansea are represented in Rob Web page’s facet for his or her most important fixture because the 2022 World Cup.This says much less concerning the massive two in Wales than it does concerning the power now out there to Web page.First of many for Mainoo?As Mail Sport predicted, Kobbie Mainoo will get his first begin for England tonight.After not initially being referred to as up for the squad for this spherical of fixtures, it’s extremely spectacular he has compelled his approach into the facet.His ceiling is undoubtedly extraordinarily excessive, and tonight might be the primary begin in an extended worldwide profession.He actually appears to be like joyful!Three Lions on the point of goWarm-ups have begun at Wembley.It’s positive to be an important few hours for all the gamers on that pitch proper now, and even some that are not on it.I’m wondering if any nerves are jangling?How will Poland’s managerial merry-go-round have an effect on them?Tom Collomosse, Mail Sport, on the Cardiff Metropolis Stadium:Poland are quickly growing a fame because the Watford of worldwide soccer, with present boss Michal Probierz the fourth man within the hotseat since Jerzy Brzeczek departed in January 2021.Excessive spirits within the Wales campIt would not appear like these lads are feeling the strain.If they will deal with it prefer it appears to be like like they’ll from these pictures, it might be an awesome evening for Wales.Ought to Toney have a spot on the airplane?As you possibly can see, the query over if Ivan Toney ought to be within the Euro 2024 squad this summer time is doing the rounds.I wish to know what you all assume, ought to Toney be there in Germany come June?Tell us your ideas within the feedback!’Fascinating to see how Toney leads the road’Sami Mokbel, Mail Sport, at Wembley Stadium:The England beginning XI is out and it’s as predicted by Mail On-line final evening and the Each day Mail this morning.

The consensus is that solely certainly one of Toney and Ollie Watkins will go to Germany, successfully as Harry Kane’s understudy. After Watkins struggled to make an impression in a flat group efficiency towards Brazil, that is Toney’s massive alternative. Accidents beginning new alternatives As Gareth Southgate has mentioned, England have an ‘unimaginable quantity’ of gamers unavailable by way of harm.The Three Lions are lacking the likes of Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Harry Maguire and Kyle Walker, who’re all greater than more likely to be starters if match in the summertime.Southgate can also be with out the expertise of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luke Shaw, and Sam Johnstone, so increasingly more new gamers are getting their probabilities – as seen with the 5 modifications tonight.Kobbie Mainoo and Ivan Toney are getting their go tonight, however so is Ezri Konsa who additionally makes his full debut.It’s an enormous likelihood for non-regulars to stake their place for a spot on the airplane to Germany.Toney’s massive auditionThis may develop into a large evening for Ivan Toney’s England profession.Toney missed out on the World Cup in Qatar, and never lengthy after served an eight-month suspension for breaking betting guidelines.The Brentford striker has solely has one cap for the Three Lions to his title, which got here a yr in the past towards Ukraine, and this will probably be his first begin in England colors.There are a lot of questions over who ought to play Harry Kane’s understudy at Euro 2023, with the combat seemingly between Ollie Watkins and Toney.So, can he seize the chance with each fingers tonight?Poland Group Information – Lewandowski up topWe would not count on anything, would we?Robert Lewandowski, the primary man for Poland, captains the facet, as Jakub Kiwior, Arsenal defender, additionally begins for Poland.This group will probably be seeking to ignore the environment tonight and break Wales’ hearts.Wales Line-up – Moore STARTSSome massive group information for Wales, Kieffer Moore comes into the facet changing David Brooks.Aaron Ramsey does make the squad, however shouldn’t be match sufficient to play from the beginning.Robert Web page was clearly joyful along with his group from Saturday, with Moore being the one change.Belgium Beginning XI – Captain LukakuPlenty of Premier League names to look out for on this facet.Domenico Tedesco has made seven modifications to the facet that drew 0-0 to Eire, with Romelu Lukaku coming in to captain the facet.Can this group do harm to England?England Group Information – Mainoo STARTSThere it’s, affirmation that each Kobbie Mainoo and Ivan Toney will make their first begins for England tonight.Ezri Konsa, Lewis Dunk, and Jarrod Bowen, observe them into the line-up as Gareth Southgate makes 5 modifications from the facet that misplaced to Brazil on Saturday.Wales’ thumping semi-final victoryLet’s have a look at how Wales made it to the play-off finals then.It was a reasonably simple evening in Cardiff on Saturday as Wales swept apart Finland 4-1.David Brooks and Neco Williams put Wales two targets to the nice earlier than Teemu Pukki pulled one again for the guests on the stroke of half-time.Nonetheless, it took simply 90 seconds into the second interval for Wales to revive their two-goal lead by way of Brennan Johnson.Dan James then sealed a magical evening for the Welsh off the bench.Absolutely, that may give them large confidence going into tonight, they’re only one step away from Euro 2024.The Three Lions’ bogey teamWhen I consider England going through Belgium, I don’t usually consider victory for the Three Lions.Traditionally England have an excellent report towards Belgium, successful 16 of their 25 conferences, nonetheless, they haven’t fared so effectively in current occasions shedding three of the final 4 of them.The one anomaly from the final 4 got here in October 2020, as they got here out 2-1 at Wembley.
