That could have been a goal for Panama there.

So how did Belgium ONLY score 3 against these guys? :lol:

 

We've doubled our biggest ever victory in a WC as it stands.

I thought Nizhny Novgorod where they are playing was the same Novgorod which is one of the oldest towns in Russia but apparently that is Veliky Novgorod and is nowhere near it.

 

Anyway 6-0 now :o

WORST. HATRICK. EVER.

Same as Tunisia, different game. Panama needed to be more open and get something from the game.

England caught sleeping there.

its going to end 7-6 to Panama isn't it :lol:

Glad they got a goal to remember tbf!

And still Sterling hasn't scored. Drop him for the Belgium game.

Hardly losing sleep over it ;) when they are still leading

Well they relaxed a bit much there for that Panama goal.

I still wouldn't play Rashford and drop Sterling. I really like Rashford but he is not as good as Sterling. Loftus-Cheek look great the other evening, but has struggled to majorly influence the game today. I think Rashford would be very similar. I suspect Southgate will make some changes regardless, but Sterling has got to start any game that has meaning for me.

 

Again as I've said before our weakness is our backline. We've conceded some sloppy chances against some poor teams, could easily do the same if not worse against better opposition. Stones is magnificent, but I think is Maguire overrated.

Job done, easiest route go for runner up place, let Belgium win. :lol:

Panama are a pub side at best tbh. You cant get too excited based off that but what can be said is that England look like more of threat on the attack than most of England's previous tournament teams. Belgium will be a much tougher opponent for England and that would give a better indication of how England are shaping up. I was happy to see Man United's Jesse Lingard play well and score an excellent goal.

Think it's one thing to be cynical but Panama can't be that bad if they qualified. Absolutely class performance.

Panama got their goal in the end which their fans were clearly happy about, and we even managed to get another one even if it was a bit weak. That ended great. I can't remember the last time I felt that relaxed watching England! :lol:

 

Ofc. it's no indication for Belgium, although it's worth noting that we defeated Panama by a much bigger landslide than they did, but then we didn't do as well as we should've against Tunisia either so it works both ways. Should be an interesting match even if I'm not convinced we'll beat them.

Job well done England. Now technically top of the group due to Belgium having one more yellow card :lol:

we didn't do as well as we should've against Tunisia either so it works both ways

 

Tunisia are a better team though than Panama I think! :unsure:

Who wouldn't thought? I honestly England would score at the last minute. :lol:

 

Belgium would be a real challenge.

 

I know how England has always relied on set goal, free kick and corners to score so if any teams don't commit any fouls, it would deny at least 50% of England offense power.
