Unstoppable pen. I agree with Southgate not making changes (except the enforced one). England were always likely to be untroubled by Panama. Give the players chosen as your first XI a chance to perform and build confidence. Nobody should be dropped after one game. If he'd dropped Sterling and Rashford had come in and done well against limited opponents, then Sterling's confidence is shot and he knows he won't get back in. He becomes a passenger in the squad then. That's not good man management. Rashford and Vardy are useful subs with their pace and will get opportunities if England do progress through the tournament. The manager will also have to look at what selections are best suited to playing better opponents later on.
I just don’t get Panama. How many more warnings do they need that the ref ain’t gonna put up with the wrestling ****!..
Nemesis loves the Inger-land Judokai. Could have given that penalty for at least two different grapples.
They've been awful. Loads of stupid fouls and constant wrestling in the box. Some of their players have absolutely lost it, especially their "poster boy", Torres.
How is there only 2 mins of injury time? Lingard was down for a minute and a half, Torres rolled around the floor for over a minute after no contact from sterling, and there were multiple VAR stoppages. Yet Germany got 5 mins last night
Indeed. England 5 goals - how much has Sterling contributed? Even managed to miss the header that Stones ended up scoring for number 4.
