The referee is not even looking at it, Kane is being wrestled to the ground, it is really quite ridiculous.

Is Dele Alli even on the pitch? He's done fuck all.

Vuvuzela ruined the 2010 World Cup. Referees and VAR ruining the 2018 World Cup. Fuck this.

Shite as usual from England. Nervous, no composure and trying to play a possession game with too much space between the players and the midfield-forwards who are all bunched together and not showing for the ball/linking up well. Hopefully we're getting the poor performance out of the way early We've played well - our forward play, linkage, and movement have all been excellent. Our defense is shite, though. Maguire is nowhere near good enough. Walker is not a fucking CB. Stones showed how poor he was in the FA Cup final. And we have a fucking rookie as a keeper. But we should be three or four up. We need to be more clinical in the second half. Any superiority we've had has been down to better individual quality imo. The tactics we employ are supposed to move the odds of winning in our favour, to me it looks like it's hindering us and the players look confident. Plus if you play this style you do not switch off defensively like that, it was a soft pen but Walker was stupid. It's really hard to chase a game and doesn't work when you try to force it like we are, you need to be patient and wait for a gap in the opposition defence, with the positions we're taking up trying to get it forward early is never going to work. If you take an early lead like we did that should have been it for Tunisia if we were comfortable playing this way. We don't look it to me and the system itself looks flawed positionally. We have to be better in the other group games or we'll be found out. We're not poor exactly, but we're better than this.

Terrible second half.
As it stands, England have won 1 World Cup match out of their last 8. Piss poor.

I have a female American commentator on my match. How inauthentic sounding can you get!?

As a Middlesbrough fan that watched Southgate teams for three long seasons, this does not surprise me at all. In fact I'm having flashbacks😧.

Vardy should be starting alongside Kane. I have NO idea why Southgate doesn't do that? It could be like Teddy Sheringham upfront with Alan Shearer!

Maybe if you rugby tackled Kane (again) he wouldn't have scored! Get in!
Our new Alan Shearer, innit.

This guy didn't need VAR when he was refereeing...

Harry Kane has more World Cup goals than Wayne Rooney! lol

I'm going with a standard England 2-0 Tunisia. Think it's going to be rather uninspiring, but I think the lads will get the job done. Tunisia should be our easiest match, so if we draw I see us finishing second in the group, and if we lose I see us potentially finishing third. It's imperative we beat Tunisia. Our? We? But Englishmen don’t support gun ownership?

First England game I've seen since the last Euros so I'm pretty pleased with what I saw. Even when the game assumed a much slower tempo in the second half they weren't sluggish like when everything was still going through an out of shape, over the hill Wayne Rooney a couple of years back.

Have to laugh at the English commentators last night.
20 minutes in - we are playing the best football of the tournament to far.
70 minutes in - its the heat and the midges to blame for how shite we are playing.
92 minutes - watch out Ronaldo.

As Sven used to say...first half good, second half not so good.
A good win overall though. Plenty of positives to build on. I'd like to see Rashford start against Panama.

That scene in the movie adaption of Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch where the cab driver who used to follow Arsenal as a kid, says that he'd "bloody love them to win [the league], he'd bloody love it!"
That's how I feel about England - I'm not nearly as passionate about the England national team as I once was during their 'Golden Generation', but I'd bloody love England to win the World Cup. I'd bloody love it!

With Belgium freely scoring, the only way for us to top the group now is to beat Belgium proper (along with Panama, of course).

England face Panama in the 2018 World Cup tomorrow at 8am ET.
If we win, as expected, we will be through to the Last 16 with a match to spare. But with this song, true to its name, I expect us to get to the Quarter-Final and then we will go out (on penalties).

Watching England vs. Panama. A win sees us through to the Last 16.

I really don't understand why we don't play Vardy alongside Kane? It would be a replica of Sherringham alongside Shearer, surely?
