Of course he’s better for his club mate, they play and train together every single day and they don’t have to select from a pool of players, they buy the very best to fit a system.

I thought him and Lingard looked likely to rip a hole in them every time we broke. Yes, end product wasn’t there, but in the first 10 mins alone the 2 could have had 2 goals.

That’s EXACTLY what you need in tournament football. A threat, people looking like they’ll make it happen.

Let’s let the lad play instead of tearing them down. We’ve won, he’s had an impact.

Look on the BBC at the ratings our fans have given throughout the team bar Kane and I tell you what, most of these ****s don’t deserve a World Cup winning side.

Almost the entire team 4-5 rated in a tricky game we won. ****ing sad ****ers. Same ****s who say BMW drivers can’t drive and people who post pictures of good times on social media are bragging.

Go and make your own.

I never say BMW drivers are bad drivers - they're just arseholes :)

Stereotypes!! Agree totally with you - it's the first time since the late 90's that I've watched England and actually celebrated when we've scored. It was a tricky game against a decent enough side (best African side at the moment) - Look at how Argentina, Germany and Brazil got on. Even Spain - played much better football than England but still drew their first game.

It wasn't a sparkling performance - there was some nice football at times sporadically but we won. I have a want to see England do well. First time in ages that I have said that but I really do and I actually want to watch them play

Certainly looked that way. Awful call from Lingard who had 3 players on him. Rashford should have just smashed it first time

Thing is I would expect most strikers to ignore that call!! My son wouldn't listen to anyone else if he has a chance to score - it's his ball and he's the centre forward. Would you expect Shearer, Phillips etc to have left it? Both to blame really

I think Tunisia should have been given some credit cos they allowed us to play well in the first half, they frustrated us more in the second.

I was disappointed with them and expected more than the gamesmanship that descended into farce. VAR needs to be used against holding in the area as last night was beyond a joke.

Yep - the ref was happy to accept their spoiling tactics. The more he let them away with the time wasting, the more time they wasted.
Dunno where the ref was from, but I bet he holidays in Port El Kantaoui with plenty of freebies

I'm just flabbergasted that they allowed themselves to indulge in such obvious tactic with VAR hanging over them. How they got away with it i do not know. Dodgy.

Columbia look pretty ****ing good considering their best player is out and they were down to ten men after 3 minutes. Cheeky free-kick. Either lucky or genius. Not sure.

Falcao is a filthy diver mind.
 
Slightly off topic....can anyone explain to me please why England's home strip has blue shorts? It's bugged me for years!!
I'm guessing it's cos of the blue in the union jack... If so then that makes it worse cos the blue is for Scotland?! Imo our home strip should either be our away strip Red top, white sorts and red socks OR all white with red trim. Nee ones probs bothered but like I said it's been pissing me off for years!

So where is the blue on our flag? Its an honest question lol...

It isn’t, but the Three Lions signify England football rather than England, and they are, always have and always will be, blue.

The Three Lions is the Royal Arms of England’s or summat, they had blue claws originally, modified slightly for football/Cricket.

Not uncommon of course, Azzuri of Italy play in all blue, yet their flag is red, white and green.
