Yeah, get that, but some of our passing has been very poor. Given the ball away and lost possession on a number of occasions.

I have seen what on paper appear to be better England sides labour against the likes of Panama. This has been great. Delivery from set pieces great, clear cohesion. The Belgium game though not that important could be a cracker.

Could be the reserves of both sides trying to lose!

I’m not sure I agree with trying to lose a game. Winning the group does put us in the more difficult side of the draw but momentum is an interesting thing.

Going to be a training session though isn't it.
Just hope the second half of this game doesn't become one. This lot deserve a proper thrashing.

Any more wrestling?

Yep. WWE.
For Panama though that was their pre-game motto. We'll Wrestle England.

Maybe they decided to ditch Kevin Nolan as tactical advisor a half time.

Perceived more difficult...you can only beat what is in front of you - & they are doing so emphatically.
I didn't think Southgate was the right man but we have already exceeded our last 4 tournament efforts imo. They look the part. Look like a team!
The way they are playing they need fear noone. And even if they got knocked out next round they can come home with their heads up unlike the last 3/4 lots.

Well we do have Kane. Sterling is clearly not the Undertaker though!

Speaking of Kane, flukes a hattrick goal!

Or maybe not.

Could have scored enough to win the golden boot in this game alone!

Exactly. Bag it, take the pressure off and deflect all the talk.

Somehow I Think England got to get sterling a couple of gilt edge chances. Be interesting to see if rashford in for him against Belgium.

Still concerned our defence isn't leakproof. They need to be more aware.

If Henderson had hit Sterling in his face, Sterling might have got a goal. About the only way he would score...

Completely switched off. Careless.

Awful defending. As you say switched off. Left so much room for him to run into

I think a good team will exploit our frailties at the back. But then all the good teams seem to have frailties of there own to worry about
Otis

Yep. Lost our way completely.

Sure they will. At least we've seen some goals and... fun at this world cup, though!

John Stones wants the golden boot

He'll have to sneak into Harry Kane's room in the dead of night and nick it off his bedside table.

Sterling is having a mare of a tournament. Rashford for the Belgium game please
