Some good stuff by England, going from here we have a reliable goalscorer, some good movement, the defence generally was good but not strongly tested and we were a constant threat from set pieces. What we need to do though is send Sterling home, how on earth has he been selected ahead of Rashford? Terrible player, how did he score any goals let alone more than 20 even in that citeh team.
Terrible ref, results right just need to beat Panama and it's the knockouts.
Surely we'll get better too.

Bah!

Id love to see Sterling drop back and out wide, and replace Lindgard with Vardy.

Vardy I think will be such a horrible bloke to play against and mark. Also, he gets 1 chance, he puts it away.

I think your predictive text is playing up, I'm sure that's 'dropped' not 'drop back'

Bah!
He is always class at picking up the ball, running forward, and turning defences inside out.

We still need that. I don't like he's played as basically as a striker. Cox his finishing or final ball is always so awful.
 
Radhford or Vary in for Sterling game. He always looks so panicked when he gets the ball at his feet and often ends up either running into someone and not being strong enough to retain possession or he trips over the ball. Unreliable finisher too. Rashford did more than Sterling and he was only in for 10mins.
Would also be happy to see Loftus Cheek come in for Alli in the next game, just to make sure that his thigh is good for The Belgium game. LC looks so strong and positive on the ball, shouldn’t be overlooked that it was his Perseverance that won the corner that we scored from
 
As if we needed proof - Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey told BBC Radio 5 live the failure of VAR to give spot-kicks to England for fouls on Harry Kane against Tunisia showed the system is "inconsistent" and "should not be in this tournament".Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey told BBC Radio 5 live the failure of VAR to give spot-kicks to England for fouls on Harry Kane against Tunisia showed the system is "inconsistent" and "should not be in this tournament". <doh>
