Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
What's the world cup record? Sure I remember there's been 9-0. The way Panama are reacting, this could top it.

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
Oh **** they'll be creaming all over this. Once they come up against a good midfield I think they'll struggle and I'm confident Belgium will beat them

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
Belgium will rest a few players and England will beat them, they could go a long long way in this tournament.
On another note, some of the penalty area wrestling is absolutely ridiculous

:hehe:
To be fair it is a good performance and I think England fans have every right to think as much. But the one thing that they've got right this time is that expectations are sensible. Everyone knows that Panama are shit and on the BBC coverage anyway, nobody is pretending that this means anything more than qualification from the group stage.

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
You can only play what’s in front of you and a great finish by Lingard !
I hope they don’t get too carried away as Panama are shocking! No reason with possible opposition in next round why they can’t get to last 8 or maybe 4

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
They’re doing well. That 4th goal was beautifully worked and obviously well planned
-
Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
Spot on.
I don't think the coverage or media in general have gone over the top at all and nor will they do after this.
They look a good strong unit and have a nice blend to the squad.
Panama though :) friendly or not I'm baffled how we drew with them, they look well out of their depth. The grappling at penalties is just stupidity.

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
What’s cheesing me off is that if Panama just tried to play football and not MMA this could well be just 1-0 or 2-0. They are embarrassing. Not the only team either. It’s spoiling the World Cup for me. And with 48 teams in the next one we’ll have more of this I fear.

Agree. I think England have only one goal from open play in this world cup.

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
6-0 Kane hat trick and he never knew, ball deflected off his heel

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
Is Kane getting the credit for that?! In any case - 6-0.

He touched it last.
Even though it was on target from Loftus-Cheek, Kane will be given it.
If it had hit a defender then it would have been L-C's goal
They reward the attacking player with the last touch but don't penalise the defender if they divert an on target effort

Messi you watching?

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
It’s coming home, apparently.

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread

Terrible defending, great finish.

6-7 on the cards

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
Could that goal be important? England don't seem interested in scoring more, but would they now finish second if they draw with Belgium?
-
Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
Panama drawing the second half. Puts it all into perspective now, eh?
-
Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
What do you mean? There isn't a second half, this game finished 40 mins ago.

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
Panama attempt to score first World Cup goal.

Apparently England top of the group in the event if a draw due to some fair play rule.... have less bookings than Belgium.
I assume if England have more bookings in the Belgium game that could be reversed.

Yep. If they draw and England pick up one booking more than Belgium, then they draw lots.
I don't know what happens if Belgium get a yellow and England get a straight red.
Either way, it was a bit careless of them not to get another goal in the second half.

Re: ENGLAND v PANAMA. Match thread
Good performance from England although Panama very poor.
Real test will come in the next round as neither side will want injuries in Belgium game.
