GROUP G - Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England

[edge]

Ali ,Stirling should have been off earlier.
Maguire was wide open for a through ball, ROM will have a field day if he plays.
Other than that not to bad need to believe in themselves more and Stirling can't start offers nothing and not clinical enough.

 

[ToffeeTim]

because Tunisia are awful.. And i mean they were as bad a team I can remember

They weren't as bad as Saudi Arabia or Nigeria. And that's me only thinking back about 4 days.

 

[YoboCopter]

No one has looked that good in opening round of games

A win is all we need...

Onto the next one

didn't see the saudi's but nigeria are better than tunisa. Easily. They were dteadful

 

[Wayno]

Lot of nonsense being spoken here. We played alright , in a tournament where many have struggled to shine. 2 clear pens not given for wrestling on Kane.

We should have finished better but got the 3 points against a spirited Tunisian side

 

[ilikecheese]

Any way you slice it, it's a good result for England.

Really should have been 3 or 4 more in the first half. I would look at the first half as a huge positive if I was English. The finishing was terrible but I would put some of that down to nerves.

Tunisia and Panama are terrible, so you the path out of the group just got much easier with that late winner. A draw with Belgium would be an excellent result at this point.

The highest ranked African team by a mile.

Tunisa

 

[Kurt.]

Anybody happy with that performance needs their bumps felt

 

[davmaher]

Should have been 2 up at half time. Young needs to be binned for Rose. Don't understand why you'd play a right footer on the left or vice versa.

 

[Blues Harp]

Well that was turgid viewing.

Ashley Young is utter trash. Just because Mourinho has lost the plot, why is Southgate picking him ahead of a left footed left back? Stop it!

Walker/Tripier.. Pick ONE. Bin this 3-at-back sh1te.

Pack it in with all the tippy tappy bollox! We had pace to burn on that pitch, but they’re all strolling round deep, while like of Henderson & McGuire go beyond them & don’t know what to do then they get there.

We should have taken a big centre forward, because if better teams than Tunisia sit in, we won’t break them down.


Considering the opposition : 3.5/10

The highest ranked African team by a mile.

Tunisa

and when has anyone taken notice of FIFA rankings? I have 2 eyes mate.. I can judge a side. They are dreadful

 

[Zezti]

Should of had two pens. Incredible that the ref, officials and VAR missed both.
Rose for Young, Rashford for Sterling for the next game.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Gutted for Tunisia.

 

[YoboCopter]

Loftus cheek is a beast isnt he

The worry is we are so easily stumped. English players just don't have the intelligence to adapt to a game. So often, we look totally bereft of ideas.
