GROUP G - Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England

[dannyboy]

I don't know whether it's because Everton are absolutely crap but that's the first England goal I've celebrated in years. Stockport behaviour, guilty as charged.

Lineker calls it an exceptional performance! I dunno about that, Gaz.

 

[PickeringBlue]

Harry Kane MotM for me and Harry McGuire was a very close second, he was almost unmarkable in the air. They should have been 2 or 3 up at half time. Not convinced overall, but the front players seem exciting.

Lineker calls it an exceptional performance! I dunno about that, Gaz.

Would he be saying that if we didn’t get a last minute winner?

 

[deipnosophist]

Stones MOTM for me, sheer class all the way, silky smooth

you can tell he was groomed by Roberto...

 

[Nymzee]

Gonna win the World Cup lads!

 

[Walken]

you can tell he was groomed by Roberto...

fortunately he has overcome that trauma

I think England qualify with that win. Panama are poor, so 6 points will do it.

They look terrible creative wise though. Southgate has made a terrible mistake not bringing a proper playmaker.

91st minute winner v Tunisia, I bet the rest are trembling in their boots

Well no one will be trembling watching Germany, Brazil, Argentina nor Belgium neither.

Good performance.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Kept calm, kept chipping away and at a team that pushed gamesmanship to the limits. Good professional result...

 

[Eggs]

...Trippier MoM for me. Virtually every free kick right on the money, virtually every free kick resulted in a chance.

It was exceptional, given previous performances, it was the very definition of exceptional.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Some sticking plasters anyone? Playing Tunisia for heaven sake, from the pundits reactions you would have thought it was against Germany.

Shelvey, Wilshire, Barkely... Should have probably taken one regardless of form.

Despite having some fast players England's real problem is they have absolutely no pace in them. Pedestrian to the point of inertia.
