England do play in 4 days as it stands. How many times do teams play a weakened side mid-week before a big Saturday game? At least this way the most of the first 11 will have a full week off like their bodies are used to.
The difference is a club has all season to work on team tactics - the national team has a few weeks. Resting Walker makes sense because of the cards. But otherwise, should have used this match to build continuity and confidence.

Did you see the Belgium guy kick the ball against the post and into his face after the goal? Lol

Part of me hopes Colombia smash us - incredibly arrogant and presumptuous to be already basically looking at possible quarter final opponents.

Thought it was blindingly obvious when we came up against a decent team they'd score a banger. We haven't closed down on the edge of the box properly all world cup
