I'll be amazed if 4 points doesn't get you into the last 16.So apparently we're making six changes tonight from the side that started against Wales.
Interesting approach when we haven't even qualified for the last 16 yet.

Yup. Four of the group winners will play 3rd place teams and the other two will play second place teams.Not actually worked out all the possible permutations, but finishing top of the group will likely result in an "easier" tie in the next round, no?
There aren't any games between now and 8pm. So mathematically nothing will change. Wales v Russia is played simultaneously.Nah, the rumoured side should be strong enough to win, and it's good for these players to have had a go in case they are needed in the later stages. Two of the changes are what most people would want anyway, I would suggest.
Plus by the time Hodgson has to name his side, we will probably already be through mathematically. In which case adding some 'hungrier' players to the mix is no bad thing.
I'd be happy with two or three but six is excessive. We should be trying to fine tune our best combination, I don't see how Wilshere and Henderson come into that. Though I suppose it will be nice to see how we look without Rooney, decent as he's been.Nah, the rumoured side should be strong enough to win, and it's good for these players to have had a go in case they are needed in the later stages.

My mistake - I thought Group C was at 5pm today for some reason.There aren't any games between now and 8pm. So mathematically nothing will change. Wales v Russia is played simultaneously.
Disagree think it's great, people that haven't performed have been dropped. I love Alli, but he and Kane look really tired, a rest not a bad idea at all.That side is madness.
Hart's made 2 mistakes that have led to goals.I'd be happy with two or three but six is excessive. We should be trying to fine tune our best combination, I don't see how Wilshere and Henderson come into that. Though I suppose it will be nice to see how we look without Rooney, decent as he's been.
Why will we probably be through mathematically?
ENGLAND will be knocked out at the Group Stage IF: They lose to Slovakia Wales v Russia is NOT a Draw Republic of Ireland beat Italy Czech Republic beat Turkey Portugal beat Hungary Northern Ireland avoid defeat to Germany Iceland v Austria is NOT a Draw ALL 4 3rd placed sides in Groups C-F have stronger goals differences
Danny Hull
Think Rose has been stiffed though.Hart's made 2 mistakes that have led to goals.
Rooney has been unconvincing
Alli and Kane have been poor.
Sterling has been hopeless.
There's 5 changes right there.
