Amazed that anyone is moaning about England. We deservedly won a game that should have been out of sight. Tunisia only had one shot on goal courtesy of the softest penalty you’ll ever see. We created countless chances - more than I remember seeing us create at any tournament game. Supposedly people had no expectations going into the tournament, yet still there’s all this complaining that we only won 2-1. Unbelievable. Just enjoy the tournament or turn over and watch love island.
England just aren't clinical.
Henderson has made some excellent runs back towards his own goal.Young fouls the opposition player every time he loses the ball. Which is every time he has the ball.

I thought the referee was as poor as anything we saw in League One last season. He should be on the next flight home.
Alan and Steve, Lingard reminded me of Alfie May in front of goal, not very good. What do you think of Welbeck playing instead of him, he averages about a goal every two games for England, a terrific scoring rate, but I suppose you don't like him either. Tunisia did not even try to win that game, were helped by poor finishing, and the poorest referee up to press in the competition. They were the most negative side in the competition, and we will now see if they are any good, and deserve their rating in the top twenty when they play Belgium and have to change their game. It was a good result as Panama have to attack and be more open in play which should give us opportunities up front, and any of Vardy,Rashford, and Welbeck could come into it. As the competition evolves, and if we progress, the makeup of the team will change, playing brilliant football is not the requirement, winning games is.
Just like Rovers only the centre forward can score all the other attacking players fluff their lines.

I thought a lot of that game was like watching Rovers.... Missing clear cut chances, passing to the opposition, free kicks in attacking positions then three passes and it's back with our keeper, clear cut penalty decisions going against us; oh, and shit refs. Great result though.
Actually Alan, both points were the views of three professional footballers I listened to on Talksport while walking the dog after the game last night. A bit naughty of me I know, but I wondered which touch line international ( I had an idea though) would take the bait. I think I will go along with the two Chelsea players and the West Ham players knowing just a little bit more about the game than yourself mate and your two million mates. If you want to take it up with them phone in after 10pm tonight, they might give you a couple of minutes.
Dickos, don't jump in, in my original post I said they suggested that Rashford should be in for Lingard. and rose for young. And that shite you are talking about has scored 17 goals at very nearly one every two games at international level. I would suggest you don't give your day job up and go scouting for players.
