GROUP G - Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England

[ToffeeTim]

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

It's quite a good start for them in the context of this weekend. Lots of far better teams have had some far worse results. They're all but out of the group now, which is an improvement on their recent tripe.

I'm pretty sure @ijjysmith had a minor meltdown in this thread a number of years ago.

I’m Jamaican mate.

Still very one dimensional and lacking a creative player.

You cant miss those chances at international level either.

 

[Billy Dean]

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.

On the back of that I'm off to get a poster of our mighty Three Lions...and I'm going to put it up above my bed

Second half they were poor, but on balance not an undeserved win.

Utterly mad how VAR can go from needlessly overused to ridiculously underused from one game to the next.

 

[kenada_blue]

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

Lallana.

Would've taken 2 of those mentioned just to offer a different dimension.

Thank goodness for HK (OSW).

Can't persuade me otherwise VAR isnt good

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

Dont think form or ability counted in selection. Are they team players? Fan of Wilshire myself but think he could have an adverse effect on team morale.

Lampard just called Horreduson ‘intelligent’

Wtf!!??

 

[gonetomorrow]

England need to pass it back and across more. Get some of these Everton lads in.

 

[roydo]

Thank goodness for HK (OSW).

And Trippier. Was ace

 

[Wat Tyler]

England completely deserved it. A lot more watchable than recent years.

 

[Yid4life]

And Trippier. Was ace

Superb.

Thought Sterling was poor. Lingard also a bit average.
