Why are they sending headers in for Giroud lol not sure that is the best plan. If he still played for arsenal, I could give a [BLEEP] but don't be beating the [BLEEP] out of my boy.


And GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!!!!!!!!!


Hahaha what a crazy chip shot.

Good game but France deserved that one. It could have easily been 3-0.

Argentina v Iceland is hyped because of Messi, no doubt.

I get that but i was reading somewhere that messi is going to have to tune out a lot of the noise from the Iceland crowd or some crap. I didn't think Iceland was that big of a deal. I like Argentina but not really because of messi. I like Dybala personally, home boy balled out this year(and was pretty freaking awesome to play in fifa as well). I enjoy watching HIGUAÍN play as well because he is sort of fat and makes me feel like i can still tap in my highschool days and get out there and do it LMBO. I also really like Aguero even though he never seems to show up on the int stage and he plays for the manics. 

That country puts out so many ST's that guys like Icardi can't make the squad lol.
,
Honestly, it is a pretty stacked up squad. didn't even mention Di maria or otamendi. I know they will make a deep run but i wouldn't be shocked if they shoot for it all.

I like Brazil and all i just have a little bit of trouble buying into them after what happen in 2014.  Those boys got slap owned at home.

Mainly because their fans are ridiculously loud and passionate.

If you took Messi off Argentina they wouldn't be at the world cup...just old and dont play well together. They barely made it with him!! Also Croatia is legit, midfield is one of the bests in the tourney

I reckon both Portugal and Spain stood out, despite their draw.

It’s hard to make a judgement on Russia until we know just how bad Saudi Arabia are. I think the result might have flattered them.

England Tunisia tonight and I reckon it’s going to be more important than it might appear for England.

We can probably expect Tunisia to beat Panama (or at the very least, draw with them), so if England lose the match, they will probably go into their final game with Belgium needing to win if they’re going to progress.

Not an easy task.

If they draw and both sides beat Panama then again they could be looking at needing a result against Belgium.

But maybe I’m building Belgium up to be a better side than they really are?

What a numpty Walker is. Didn't even try to defend that properly and in plain view of the ref as well.

Lingard look aweful, not sure how many blatant misses he could have made. Loftus-cheek should had been on to start or at least on from half. No clue why maguire started over Cahill. Sterling and young looked absolutely aweful. They are lucky to have pulled that off.

I think England will get out of he group barely and then get smashed.

Lot of stand out games. Brazil draws to Switzerland, Argentina draws to Iceland, Germany lost to Mexico( probably biggest stand out to me). England looked like crap. Would not have seen any of those coming.

Harry Kane doing what Harry Kane does...(when he isn’t being wrestled to the ground by Tunisian defenders)

Pleased we didn’t draw that one, because Tunisia just came to defend and frustrate England.

But why did it take so long to take Dele Alli off? He clearly wasn’t fit.

Now on to Panama... and then the real test, Belgium...

I'm pretty sure alli got knocked in the first half and was a little banged up after. My question would be why the hell didn't south gate see this. 

Also, he is the best you have but lord that penalty from walker was soo stupid, idiot should never have lifted his arms when you are wide open in the box like that. After that goal they did little to nothing for the next 70 min.? They sort of looked like chelsea lmbo. Decent first half followed by and inept second. You

You did not see England being crap coming? Have you not seen any of the last six World Cups?

Lol not like that and yes I have. I didn't expect Tunisia to really do anything. Not saying they were great. But it really shouldn't have been a game. I mean between sterling and lingards misses, they could have easily had 3-4 More goals. I don't mean small ones. They had open nets on a few had some very open looks.

Even one of the crosses RLC had rashford had a clear shot but lingard called for rashford let it go and Jesse didn't even get a [BLEEP] on it. Just stupid play.

This is probably the least-experienced England side I can remember at a World Cup, but while they ran out of ideas in the second half, I think they stayed pretty positive against a very negative Tunisia.

Plus, Kane has finally shown what he is capable of at a major tournament and I was pleased with some of the newer players like Maguire, Trippier and Loftus-Cheek.

IF we can build on this with a confidence-boosting win against Panama, then they stand every chance of surprising a superior Belgium side.

And IF we make it out the group then it’s on of Poland, Senegal, Japan or Colombia. There are no easy games (yes that’s a cliche) but that’s about as winnable as you get at that stage.

Tunisia was the big game for me. And they got the result, so I’m a lot more confident now!

I agree with most of this. But my concern wasn't the younger guys or even the dumb mistakes as much as southgate. I just think the stage is too big for him or something. Take sterling. He is a decent RM/RW. But I am pretty sure the manager had him @ ST RIGHT. He was trash but the left him in for 80 min?!?

Also having young playing essentially a wing back when he couldn't string together passes for [BLEEP] today I felt like was a mistake. And why the hell was he taking free kicks? They are garbage, has he ever scored a free kick?

I don’t understand Sterling either. Just seems to be one of those players who is amazing in the Premier League, but can’t quite do it for England. He’s had enough chances.

England certainly miss a free kick specialist (Dier might be a solution) but I’m not concerned about Young at wing back. He’s been solid for Man United at full back and was good enough as a winger to suggest he can bring it forward effectively. I’d give him more time.

What disappointed me most was the finishing I think. Some of the chances that fell to Lingard and Sterling should have been buried and only Harry Kane seems capable of getting quality shots on target. Maybe we’ll see more Rashford in the next game.

Holy cow. i don't know if anyone else is watching this Poland Senegal game but this complete crap on the referees part. I have never seen anything like that. They let a guy roll on on injury and then waived him off of the field. Then the side ref waived him back on in the middle of play and allowed him to go back in behind the Poland line and get the ball and run for a goal. that was insanely poor management on the refs end. Senegal are a [BLEEP] team anyway. They simulate as much if not more than any team i have ever watch but that was just bull [BLEEP].

They are both sorry [BLEEP] teams but at least make it a decent game and don't cheat. That was stupid.
