No idea why you'd be even slightly concerned about this second half which has basically been a 45 minute light jog with the odd kick of a ball. Yeah it's been so relaxed that Kane managed to get a goal without even trying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 The Rodriguez kid does look half decent tbf. Plays for Gent's reserve team at the moment. Plus he's the only player under the age of 20 in the side (the other youngsters, both 21, play for the reserve teams of Gent and Deportivo La Coruna respectively) so he has room to improve unlike the rest of the Panama team.

Well, I'm clearly talking about recent performances and not just this one. Lost concentration late on against Italy too. Just seems like we need to make our early advantage count because we're not that good once teams settle down and figure us out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djstu23 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Well done England, into next round which is most important. Only Panama but still need to go out and perform and England have hardly been great in tournaments lately! Panama did qualify on merit. Going forward was great, defensively look vulnerable.

Heartwork Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Can't really argue against the result. 6-1, new record for England at a major tournament, game was finished before half time so we could relax and not worry about unnecessary bookings/injuries. Hopefully that just means the defenders switched off a bit for it and they'll be ready for Belgium in the final game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 The Panama-Tunisia game will be a fun watch. Not for quality football but because it should just be a garbage fire. Jose Luis Rodriguez looks like the only Panama player that could potentially play in a top European League, so will keep an eye on him. If Tunisia can get any more players fit again then they should win but with their current injury record it's up in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of teams playing like Panama, bad referees that enable it, and brutal conditions (elevation, gravel pit pitches, heat). None of those things excuses missing the Cup, of course. Meanwhile, well played England. That was highly satisfying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMLF Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I wonder if there will be any suspicions of doping as England winning two games in a row + winning one of them by 6-1 is not normal.

Bliss Seeker Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Kane has me all confused :d Think he's been one our worst players in both games, yet here he is with 5 goals and a match ball. Trippier is bloody amazing though. His delivery and decision making is as good as anything we've seen in the cup. Young on the otherside not so much. Henderson's impressed too. Defence is dodgy as **** though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go for the win "We want to keep momentum, we will have to think exactly about the team we want to put out against Belgium because there is an opportunity for players that need a match, but we also want to keep winning football matches. It is a nice decision to have." So basically he wants to make changes but wants to keep winning. Fine by me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshift Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 No-one will want to lose but if neither team needs to bust a gut to get a favourable draw then it's no surprise that both teams will rest players if needed.

noikeee Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Harry Kane to be the only player on the pitch to care, chasing the Golden Boot, score the only goal, and then England to lose to Brazil on the quarters whilst Belgium go on to the final.

He has done nothing, for two games. Nothing. Compare that to Trippier on the other side, arguably motm for both games and leads the chances created charts for the WC. We need a left footed player on the left, not Young cutting back on his right. He offers absolutely nothing. He's just there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
