If Sweden can somehow heat Germany and Mexico beat South Korea as expected then the Germans will be out after 2 games.

Gas mark 5?

If Germany draw with the Swedes though that will mean they have just 1 point and Sweden 4. Don't necessarily need to lose that game.

Mexico beat South Korea and they are on 6.

Germans could still be out even if they beat Korea.

Can’t put my finger on it exactly but Mark Clattenburg’s voice doesn’t match up with his face :sour:

Couldn't agree more.

I was expecting a fairly posh well spoken southerner!

 

[Liquid Gold]

Yeh didn't expect him to be a geordie. Can't stand him though.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Belgian player should be booked for diving there.

 

[Liquid Gold]

That Belgium shirt is truly horrible

 

[Paul Anthony]

Belgian player should be booked for diving there.

Yeah, ridiculous. Obvious yellow card.

 

[Paul Anthony]

So the dive wasn't a booking but that "non event" was?

 

[wingy]

And a yellow for nothing now at risk of a sending off .
Poor ref !

 

[footyfrenzy]

The standard of referees so far hasn't been too bad but this fella in the Bel v Pan games not letting it flow at all

 

[Paul Anthony]

Can't quite believe Belgium haven't scored yet.

Has that fan nicked the ball!?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Oh come off it. How easy does that Panama defender want to go down?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Panama need to look up when breaking, they always have willing runners but dont seem able to find them.

 

[Monners]

Belgium will win I'm sure, but they are very predictable and slow paced. Imagine the abuse Engurland would get with a performance like that.

 

[Paul Anthony]

So many teams seem to be struggling don't they? Germany, Argentina, Uruguay, France, Brazil, now Belgium looking sluggish.

Mouthwatering for England then!!

 

[Paul Anthony]

Sublime goal!

 

[Liquid Gold]

game over

 

[Paul Anthony]

Surely it is now.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Belgium have been much better this half. Panama haven't had an answer for them.

How embarrassing for United and England that Young is first choice left back.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I like Rio and Lampard but we’re 30 mins away from our first group game and we’re still talking about why the golden generation failed and whether they felt burdened wideyed by 1966

 

[Otis]

Yup. Think he can be exposed for pace too. He's now 32 years of age and one month off 33.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Come on England! Nothing less than all 3 here

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Ooooh unlucky great buid up

 

[SkyblueBazza]

Phew! A platform to build from...although there is much to build!!! Main thing is we got the result. Bonus - spotted CJ's banner after the whistle.

Has the been a game yet without a player crying?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Tomorrow

Columbia v Japan (1pm)
Poland v Senegal (4pm)
Russia v Egypt (7pm)

Missing the Columbia Japan game because of work but other two look interesting games with Salah back in for Egypt.

 

[Otis]

Tomorrow

Columbia v Japan (1pm) - Don't care
Poland v Senegal (4pm) - Not interested
Russia v Egypt (7pm) - Meh!

When do England play next?

 

[Ashdown]

Shocking refereeing yet again. We are as likely to get a break here as in the Eurovision song contest...... We areas popular as Millwall !

 

[xcraigx]

European teams doing well against the ROTW at the moment, won 9, drew 2 and lost 1. Only Germany letting the side down!

 

[Liquid Gold]

What a start in Columbia Japan

 

[Paul Anthony]

Clear handball.

 

[Nick]

Another penalty??
