    Why didn’t he just play to feet, a Hollywood ball is always going to look good.

    A simple forward ball to feet seemed beyond him and the rest of MF.

    under "pressure" people resort to their normal behaviours so don't agree particularly as Alli seems to want to be a withdrawn striker rather than a MF.

    Can tell you didn’t watch the first 30 mins or so or you’d revise your comment on Maguire using the ball well. First 20 he couldn’t pick out another England player!

    I don't care about italy, especially since they are not in this one.

    I don't care right now about germany who lost as they are not in the group. They were unimpressive.

    I beg to differ on tunisia. they reminded me of our opponents in the CL, maribor. Tunisia were all over the place and SHOULD REALLY SHOULD have been 3 or 4 down after 20 mins. England stopped playing they didn't start playing IMO.

    I am willing to bet you belgium rip them apart.

    My view is this:

    germany will need to improve radically on first showing to have a hope in this tournament as they were looking leggy, not just not bothered.

    We looked badly balanced, bad tactically, stopped playing and left holes a decent team will exploit. I cannot see england doing more than getting another win v panama and then struggling. It will be columbia or poland in last 16... after seeing who happened last night i think walker and maguire will have big targets on them and will be the ones that get done.

    You don't read me much, do you? I suppose you've never read my defence of many of our players in the face of strident criticism from those who believe we have a right to 10 Messis and a Buffon, with a bench worth billions.

    We won. Don't care how we played. We won, we won, we won.

    A win is a win is a win.

    Winny winny won won.

    2-1. Back of the ****ing net.

    The media could've been full of whining about how we never win a first game, familiar pattern, same old same old, Kane can't replicate his club form and woe, woe and thrice woe.

    But instead...

    And I don't care about your whining, so we're quits.

    RLC also likes to play up top and generally gets injured if he runs about too much.

    England lack midfielders and that could be an issue as the tournament goes on.

    This is the game that could have dumped us out of the world cup. Lose last night and we probably wouldn't get out of the groups. All according to plan for now. Banana peel over. We can happily lose to Belgium knowing we are progressing.

    I don't think it matters who the captain is. It's mostly symbolic. A leader leads whether they wear the armband or not.

    I suspect Hendo will keep the armband until we sell him.

    Just watching the replays of the Kane penalty claims and I can see why the VAR refs couldn't give it, if it's going to be "clear and obvious," as the whining Phil Nevilles of the world keep saying. In the first instance Kane has his arm over the defender's shoulder and in the second one he's actually holding onto the defender's arm. It's not clear he hasn't tumbled deliberately and pulled the defender down in a 50/50. Doubtful but not clear and obvious.

    Academic anyway, because did I mention already that we won?

    First game over, first game nerves over, even a repeat performance should be enough to win the second game and go through and then play a side that will not sit back and defend with 11 so more space for your pacy players.


    All that really will be needed is more players other Kane putting the ball in the net.

    So should all be very happy!


    Wtf was the drug cartel doing there lol
