I like the last two the bedt
Neutrals would also look forward to England v Senegal I suspect
I doubt neutrals look forward to any England game these days.
Thought we were pretty decent..
Rashford particularly made some excellent runs and the long balls through to him were great but our end product from wide areas was poor.
Jude was superb though and won the game with a couple of moments of quality.
Bring in the the R32!

I don't think the result was bad, but if we'd been that wasteful and complacent against a decent team in the first half, we'd have been chasing the game. We're through though and it should be an easier job to progress than if we'd finished 2nd.
Bellingham is class and Kane scored a good goal so I can't grumble too much.
Had a knee operation today so the meds are helping me stay calm despite the game being a bit of a slow start

Thank god, all that "no Scotland, no party" bollocks was getting annoying. The old adage "You can't polish a turd" springs to mind.
The right back situation is hilarious btw. Also very predictable.
I think Ecuador will trouble Mexico. Especially as they also play at high altitude so will be use to it
Who would have thought Reece James might get injured!?
Also, who would have though, 'well, Christiano. Turns out being "back" against Uzbekistan might not be *really* all that good a measure'.
Thirdly - glad we avoided Senegal, but Dr. Congo will see you now...
Going to be odd watching England at 9am after all the evening games! Netherlands Morocco will be at 6pm for me.So we kick off at 5pm on Wednesday? Don't think I can watch that
Gutted that Netherlands Morocco is the middle of the night but think I can watch the other ones which interest me.

Unsurprisingly Steve Clarke has stepped down for Scotland. Really disappointing tournament for them particularly given the opportunity to progress in 3rd.
