England v Panama - Match Thread

[Bert]

Come on England! Hoping for a comfortable win with a few goals and a clean sheet. 

 

Just get us into the next round lads! 

[ScouseFox]

bloody one o’clock kick off. am goin the boozer NOW 

[Corky]

Nailed on someone will do a fall over and dislocate shoulder celebration.

[Tuna]

We ought to be out of sight before half time. They're useless.

  

2-0 up then give Vards the final 30 minutes.

 

I'm predicting 4-0.

[Jattdogg]

5-0 if vardy plays more than 30 mins.

[Dan]

We're basically through with a draw aren't we? Not that I'm worried about not going through.

 

Expecting it to take longer than hoped for but we'll win this. I'll go 3-0. Similar to Panama's last game really in every way.

8pm Kick off... I dont think i have ever seen an England World cup finals match at any time other than 1-5am....the best ever world cup!

Belgium would need need to beat you and Panama beat Tunisia, realistically by a combined 5 goals due to all the yellows Panama picked up last time 

 

 

Just Iceland it up lads for the hilarity. 

[Max Wall]

Scratchy 2-1 win. 

Building enthusiasm around the country suitably dampened.

Followed by 5 more 2-1 wins and the trophy.

@Finnegan and @The Doctor to book one way tickets to a Swiss clinic 2 minutes after the final whistle blows as England head up the steps to lift the trophy. 

 

Edit - And Kitchandro to spontaneously combust at the thought of having to leave his first positive post.

 So long as Vardy and maguire are playing, and hopefully outnumbering the three wankstains of Alli, Lingard and Kane, I don't actually mind. Club > Country. Unfortunately that does seem to necessitate someone sending Kane to the glue factory, and Benny didn't play.

 

still, if you meet Nigeria, got to back the moose, nacho and wilf.

Haha. I wouldn't expect anything else.

You're pretty safe I reckon. We'll always have 1966 to replay continuously to annoy you though......

Well, enjoy China 2066 and the special century of hurt edition of Three Lions, having won as many knockout games in 50 years as a Scotland side that still haven't been to a tournament this millennium, despite the World Cup now being a 128 team tournament.

[Guest Col city fan]

I have a sneaky feeling we are going to have to work bloody hard to grind out a win..

Scotland have a side?

I think we do. We've essentially got one player who turns up, fouls everyone and ****s off.

Just as well it happened before goal line technology came into play and you could rely on a corrupt linesman eh?

I spent most of my formative years at Pittodrie. Are you referring to Doug Rougvie? Can't be Scott Brown as you used the word 'player'. 

I do agree though, there'll come a time when neither of our teams qualify for a 128 team World cup.

You can have that goal back. I'll settle for our 3-2 win in the 66 final 

[whoareyaaa]

5-0

[StanSP]

I reckon we're gonna absolutely smash these. Strong start, many chances created, couple of early goals, bit of pressure from Panama but nothing too threatening. Score a couple more just after half-time. Game done. Late goal by someone like Welbeck or Rashford. 5-0. Job done.

If you can't beat these 6-0, then I'll be highly disappointed in England.

 

The divide between these two sides is just too big.

A win and you're through to the next round, so C'MON ENGLAND!

 

Oh, and Gareth: There's a player in your squad named Jamie Vardy. Would be nice if you could let him play for at least 30 minutes, you know. He's supposed to be rather good in front of goal.
