World Cup 2018 third place: Roy Keane blasts two England players over 2-0 loss to Belgium

Former England international, Roy Keane, has criticised England’s Danny Rose after Thomas Meunier opened the scoring for Belgium in the World Cup third-place play-off.

England made five changes to the side which lost 2-1 in the semi-final to Croatia on Wednesday.

Belgium forward, Meunier scored from some lackadaisical defending from Rose at the back post to break the deadlock in the 4th minute and Keane ripped into the left-back’s “lazy” play at half-time.

“They [Belgium] started the game a lot brighter they look like they can score at ease. England obviously gave a shocking goal away. It was sloppy, lazy defending,” Keane said on ITV Sport.

“They eventually got a foothold on the game and the first chance fell to [Harry] Kane after 23 minutes but really lazy defending.

“When you look at Rose’s defending as well as the centre halves he’s never going to learn about the game.

“If he doesn’t know that at 28 years of age he’s in trouble.”
