There is no moral issue whatsoever. Belgium made 9 changes but won the game. We made 8. So Belgium are more morally wrong than England? How has this moral issue even arisen?
It's just simply called using a squad. If you have qualified with one game to spare, why on God's earth would you keep playing the same team? It's just stupidity to do that.
How about the scenario that to come 2nd in the group would give you a harder route? Would England still have made 8 changes and Belgium 9? Of course they would. There is no moral issue with that game at all.
And to say that England 'threw' the game is just ridiculous.
I have absolutely no issue with what Southgate has done so far. None. If you think he is a cheat who throws games then that goes some way to explaining your state of mind, not his.
