Jourdan Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Professional performance from us. I thought Panama might frustrate us in the same way they did to Belgium, but scoring inside 10 minutes and with such a easy goal put an end to that. It then had the feel of a World Cup warm up. We didn’t really get out of first gear but Panama are so inexperienced and there is such a gulf in quality that we were never going to need to. Strangely enough, I actually thought we played better against Tunisia. But as most have mentioned, we still have a few gears to find and we will need to from here on out.

lukedcfc Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Belgium Will expose us If they play hazard, de bruyne and mertens, it has to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Here we go again! Fans see it as either being rubbish or world beaters - England have only played Tunisia and Panama ffs. At least Southgates' post match interview has put a lid on excessive optimism within the squad - defensively there are still concerns which need to be addressed.

We played once every 4 years in a world cup, it's usually excess doom and gloom? Why shouldn't we get carried away? I don't care who we were against, we should enjoy our biggest ever world cup victory, it's a lot better than being a pessimist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 It is not advantageous for strong teams to get easy groups, better to have stiff opposition from the start and improve as the tournament continues. i am quite happy with England going far and perhaps all the way this time, but pragmatism is needed. Some games will have to be won the physical and determined way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I’m sick of this negativity. People keep saying we will be exposed against the better teams. Who exactly are the better teams? The Spanish teams who scraped past Iran, the Brazil team who drew against Switzerland , the French team who were lucky against Australia? There’s no-one in this tournament who England should be scared of. If England continue with this intensity then we will have as great a chance as any other side in this tournament.

I'm fed up of people slagging us off ever after our biggest ever win. Who gives a poo if it's Panama? They qualified to the world cup, we can only beat who is in front of us. Only English people can choose to pick out negatives after scoring 6 goals in a world cup match. The Germans scraped a last minute winner against Sweden, do you hear them complaining? Absolutely not.

Sexydadbod Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 England v Belgium may be a dead rubber game as both teams will want to lose, Martinez has already confirmed he will rest players. The team who finishes 1st will have a harder run looking at the projected ties. This would be my team, right blend of resting players and giving players minutes for the rest of the tournament Pickford Jones Stones Cahill TAA Dier Rose Loftus Cheek Delph Vardy Rashford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Boooo we’ve won the two opening games..... Regardless of the opposition, the football we’ve been playing is the best I’ve seen from an England team. That first half was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Just for those that didn't experience it. 1990 world cup was extra special because 2 players from Derby were playing. Ohhh!!! Mark Wright and the only one Peter Shilton. After every win this always stuck in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
