England v Panama - Match Thread

[TheSomersetFox]

I wouldn’t consider dropping Sterling either. Say what you like about his finishing but he’s always in there and one will go in for him eventually. It Rashford comes in though I’d have no complaints, nothing wrong with this competition in the squad

Yeah but she's finished the line (knitting, not coke) in preparation for football arriving at the front door.

English press getting carried away after beating a nation they didn't know wasn't just a canal 12 months ago is gonna make the round of 16 penalties defeat to Senegal even better

Do you really have nothing better to do than this I understand you're unfortunately Scottish but surely you can fill your day with something other than passive aggressive remarks towards a nation that are actually at and enjoying playing well at a world cup 

 

What a bloody berk

Eh, enjoying the good football that started at 4 and waiting for my hot dogs to be ready before another cracking game this evening. Not sure what's wrong with some realistic football chat in the meantime.

We don't beat teams like Malta 6-0 so why people think we'll do it to a team who have earned the right to play in a World Cup over the USA is strange.

Told you. They were always going to nick one.

[Ric Flair]

From open play we were distinctly average but I honestly think we'll nail teams from set pieces every game, as we go all the way.

We have always made a meal of going through so will be good to see how we do with the confidence of these first two wins and especially todays hammering.

 

few tweaks like dropping Sterling for Rashford or Vardy, Loftus cheek didn't really impress me either maybe get Dier in there especially against the better teams, other than that its coming home.

Free Tommy written on an England flag on a car in the Range car park.  I knew the day was going too well. Every country has it's bad apples, I guess..

 

Apart from that, we look good. The heat made our ball retention a blessing. Isn't it funny that whenever I have seen us play with a 3 at the back, over the whole of my lifetime, we have suddenly looked like a decent outfit.

 

Robson, Hoddle and now Southgate. Did El Tel ever play with 3, I can't recall?

oiiiii its coming home

You could use the chips on your shoulders as an accompaniment for your hot dogs.

We need to play Phil Jones and Dier on Thursday and them take one for the team with a booking each just in case it's a draw and we get top spot on fair play rules.

With respect... **** off... where's Scotland? Oh yes, just north of England and nowhere in football.

If you were in the actual competition then you can make valid comments about your performance vs ours,  but since your shite team and shite manager aren't... go away. Bitter jealousy isn't an attractive trait.

He's a Scot, what do you expect. Has beens, never will be's, failures, rubbish, deluded race that believes some guy was inspired by a spiders web.
