I really don't rate Young at all

Refs have been terrible at stopping gamesmanship all tournament

 

[Paul Anthony]

Need to be more alert. Panama getting chances a better team might take.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Cheating twats

I understand a bit of gamesmanship, but this is a throwback to the worst of the 60s and 70s... without the genuine hardness from them.

Me neither. Rose is 10 times the player.

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

They are claiming for everything teams like this will always foul and cry to the ref

 

[Paul Anthony]

Lovely by Lingard.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Half-decent.

 

[Nick]

Never used to like lingard but he's growing on me

Like a wart?

 

[Johnnythespider]

Great finish that. Just said to my lad come on Jessy show us something, and BANG in it went

 

[Liquid Gold]

Loved the way we just upped the tempo a bit before the goal. Nice touch by sterling to set him up and then such a good finish.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

That was quality. Shame Sterling couldn't have set himself off, mind!

 

[Paul Anthony]

We might actually thrash these!

 

[NorthernWisdom]

This replay stuff just doesn't work. Slows the game down, makes refs nervous to be decisive, most of the decisions are right anyway, and there's still doubt on some even when replayed!

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Now that's deserved!

 

[Paul Anthony]

Oh well done ref! Finally!

 

[Liquid Gold]

Never been this comfortable watching England at the World Cup

 

[Johnnythespider]

What kind of coaching do these defenders get. It's fucking wrestling

 

[Covstu]

Got to stop this wrestling in the penalty box, it’s ridiculous

 

[Paul Anthony]

Smash. He don't half hit em!

 

[Johnnythespider]

Level on GD with Belgium

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Got to stop this wrestling in the penalty box, it’s ridiculous

As long as we get penalties from it, long may it continue!

 

[Covstu]

The old 5!

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Great view of CJ’s flag!

 

[Otis]

Non-football!

Well done ref. Exactly the sort of thing I hate in the game.

What on earth do Panama have to complain about. Just don't get it.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Bunch of thugs

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

That was quality. Shame Sterling couldn't have set himself off, mind!

Stones saved his blushes by putting the ball in the net.

He literally missed from about 3 yards out.

 

[Otis]

What is Shearer going on about?

Fact is, we didn't play well. We were just clinical in the final third. The rest of the game our passing was sloppy and we were nervy at the back.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Hahaha this is brilliant

 

[Otis]

As long as we get penalties from it, long may it continue!

Would be lovely if we end up getting 5 penalties.

Can’t believe I hat I’m watching. England scoring 5 before h/t without being that good. Ok panama poor and their discipline awful but England ruthless in front of goal.

Yep. Haven't played well, but have been ruthless and our play just outside their box has been exemplary.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Haven't played well

They've had a couple of dodgy moments at the back early on, but the last 20-25 minutes none of that.

Can only beat what's in front of you, and they're doing that very well with some quality movement and plays. They can't help it if their opponents have turned up for the wrong sport so are trying to spoil.

Great view of CJ’s flag!

Shame it's not next to the Notts County flag, CJ missed out on a bit of gloating there!!
