Not sure why but Gordan gives me Gazza vibes

Thought this said Lezza, I was going to say that’s it’s pretty well known he looks like Clare Balding.

Careful you will get banned for that language.

Ref has been awful, never a pen. England have been a bit soft all half, looks like we are trying to go a bit more shithouse. 

 

Some decent stuff at times but the ridiculously long drinks break and delay taking every dead ball upset any rhythm.

[Leicesterpool]

Costa Rica are whiny bitches, very scrappy match.

That's regionist   just because he's from Newcastle and he has played for them.

As a Canadian, I hate playing them. Pretty much the same as all the Central American teams. It's usually just horrible and the furthest thing from good football.

We have to play Panama in the group, so probably a sensible prep match then?

Good point. They're even worse to play

The drinks delay is purely because that's what Americans want. A game of four quarters. 

 

Be interested to know if that tallies up with planned advertisements in American coverage. 

 

I bet it does. 

[StanSP]

That's a pen. Elbow stuck out. 

[JonnyZeroFox]

Clear pen, stopped a good goal though  nice peno from Gordon

Keeping Anderson and Rice fit is almost as important as Kane.

 

Anderson is a top player.

[MPH]

So I know this is a bob team  we are playing against but this could be the tournament where we have several players truly come of age at the same actual time..

Get those misses out of the way tonight

Rogers’ was worse than Madueke’s. 

[Dan]

These have seriously fallen off. They used to be a decent-ish side. I'm not convinced they're any better than Lithuania now.

[JonnyZeroFox]

good poachers goal 

[Bert]

We’ve looked really sharp tonight. 

[MPH]

A decent night at the office.

[StanSP]

Good performance overall. Lots more energy and creativity on show. Rice makes a difference in midfield.

It’s been good, not great opposition… but we have closed down well, moved the ball well, not allowed them a sniff. Solid performance. Night and day compared to the NZ game
