    2 world class saves already in 3 minutes, and Sterling misses yet another tap in. He got away with it because of the offside, I don't know who they think was offside, but it wasn't Sterling. The ball got cut back to him. Despite if someone was offside or not. The easy chances he wastes is so frustrating.

    3 quality goal scoring chances in about 5 minutes is lovely to see.

    F**king hell. 3 armature errors in 1 move! And Tunisia nearly score. This is more like England.

    That wasn't a pen......ffs...VAR has given so many Pens. This is just given. For shielding himself from him running into his back.

    f*cking predictable.

    Unlucky Walker but a definite penalty. Bad luck Pickford, guessed the right way and got very close.

    Much as I'd like to agree, it looked a pen to me.

    It was a pen against us for an arm being used to hold off a player, but a rugby tackle on Kane isn't even looked at!?

    Who has paid these people off!? Of all my worries, I at least thought we wouldn't get screwed by a ref this time.

    Nope.

    He just shielded the ball. Like everyone else does and get away with.

    It was Rick but he made a meal of it.

    If it had been the other way around we'd have all been screaming for a pen.

    Tunisia penalty was soft but the right call, how VAR can watch Kane get wrestled down like that and not give anything is beyond me.

    but we wouldn't have been given it.

    The rugby tackle on Kane wasn't even looked at.

    VAR only looked at their penalty because the ref gave it immediately. They couldn't look at the Kane tackle because the ref took no action <ok>

    I'm watching this in Menorca without any English punditry. That may be the difference! <laugh>

    The 'rugby tackle' probably came too early in the match. Spanish coverage didn't show a replay.

    Get Vardy on for Sterling or Lingard and Cahill for Walker.​

    That's not how it works. Other wise most of the Pens already wouldn't have been given. They tell him to stop the play and come to the side line to look at the replays if he misses it.

    VAR has given every tiny touch all tournament, including an England player shielding a ball against a player charging into his back. Yet they decide not to use VAR tonight every time Kane gets assaulted!?
