June 24, 20187 yr Great to see England playing so well. We'll find out against Belgium and then in the 2nd round how good they actually are.
June 24, 20187 yr Think it's one thing to be cynical but Panama can't be that bad if they qualified. Absolutely class performance. They've massively overachieved by getting to the World Cup but their qualifying campaign sees them play teams in central & North America so the USA, Costa Rica and Mexico are their toughest challenge!
June 24, 20187 yr Great to see England playing so well. We'll find out against Belgium and then in the 2nd round how good they actually are. Agreed, and I think we are likely to outclassed by Belgium unfortunately. Good to see a positive performance and a comfortable win though!
June 24, 20187 yr Agreed, and I think we are likely to outclassed by Belgium unfortunately. Good to see a positive performance and a comfortable win though! I'm a skeptic, but I cannot see Belgium outclassing England. Like us they have a lot of gaps and chances are they will be without Lukaku and Hazard. On paper they are probably better than us, but having the best players on paper doesn't always equate to success as seen with England in 2006!
June 24, 20187 yr Had 20p on England leading 5-0 at half time at 190/1 so got £38 for that haha, if only I'd put a bit more on, like even 50p- but I'm not going there. Banking that though, pretty chuffed. Also had a bit (all tiny ones) on Kane scoring 1, 2 and getting a hat-trick so got around a fiver on that too. Lost a few but doesn't really matter because I split the bets into tiny ones and it seems to have worked out, think I only put £4.50 on this match in total. Means I've made a profit from betting so far which seems very unusual so for the most part I'm quitting while I'm this far ahead. Amazing to see England doing so well and getting through to the knockouts for certain, feels like a long time since we had a team looking this good. Not holding my breath in terms of progressing beyond quarters or even the round of 16 but this was a moment in itself, highest scoring match (for one side) of the tournament I believe, a few 5s in there but pretty sure this is the only 6.

If we keep up our current form we'll be fine against them. We just need to be careful we don't give them as much space as we gave Panama because they'll be all over us if we do that! I'm going for a 2-1 England win.
