    A draw there would have been a good result (for Belgium ) but England more than deserved that win

    Its disgraceful that there wasn't a penalty for those tackles. The guy was wrestled to the ground, even if you were supporting Tunisia you'd have to admit that was BS

    This one alone baffles me, you can't even make that tackle in rugby, should have been a clear penalty, let alone a VAR recommended one.

    The video is better, theres just no excuse for that.

    I can't find a video of the second one, but that was just as bad, he had his arm around his neck.

    Saw at least a handful fly into Ashley Young's mouth.
    They can smell the bird shit.

    They keep saying that the VAR guy is in Moscow. I think Vladimir is doing it personally. This is what we get for the Nerve Gas incident.

    Man, Kane saved England's ass.

    Lingvald or whatever the fuck his name is looked trash. So did Ashley Young. Rashford and Cheeks looked good as subs, especially Cheeks. Trippier looked okay, but I'd keep him in always if he's going to be taking corners instead of Kane.

    Don't think I need to mention those three letters again, England started really well but faded quickly. Subs were good but should have happened sooner. Need to start Rashford, he's the only player willing to run at a defence. Maguire should be sat at home watching Lascelles score for fun from corners.

    He didn't tackle him, he fell on his own.

    Spoken like someone who's hands-on experience with sports limits itself to that one time he found the neighbor kid's ball lying in the street and kicked it around for 2 minutes.

    I don't understand how FIFA could even allow matches to be played in such historically controversial cities like Stalingrad and Kaliningrad. Neither of those two cities have any fame at all in Russian football.

    Good assumption, but that is not the case.
    You can see him throwing himself to the back, especially when you see the Tunisian player not positioning his leg for a tackle.
    He faked it, or he a weak ass bitch.

    I was going for Tunisia but well played by England. I am sure they will beat Panama on Sunday and we will have to see about Belgium.

    Its lingardinho

    And most people are clueless to what he actually does on the pitch. He fills in the spaces and pockets between their mid field and defense better than anyone in the team and works hard off the ball. Something Sterling is also trying to do so its clearly a preferred strategy with southgate and having a million wing backs so they can have quick counters and getting the ball up to the 2 strikers quickly

    Grats England for keeping their cool. Only one yellow card.

    Best first 20 mins from England for decades.

    Deserved the win.

    I still fancy Belgium to go further though
