av3ry Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Done well to only be 1-0 down there. Belgium have hammered to be honest, could be 3-0 up but for some good blocking by the defenders. Again, we are being demolished in the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're genuinely in the position where those are the only two options, and both are a waste of time, why are you even persisting with the concept.
