It’s been a superb opening few days, some great games, I’ve a feeling this England team is far more tournament ready than most in recent history despite their young age. No press pantomime (yet). No stupid “golden generation” label for a squad where Ashley Cole and beckham were the only world class players  No vacuous tarts wandering around stealing the limelight and the focus of the players. A manager that can speak English and has gone through this whole process with England in the modern era as a player. We won’t we win it, but with this early batch of results it might be our best chance for a while

Have to defend better than that 1st half and I'll be surprised if Jesse Lindgard finished his tea!

What is the point in VAR if they didn't look at any of the three times Kane was assaulted in the box?!

Seems like a very familiar tale so far.

what is the point in having VAR if they let the swiss goal stand and don't give clear and obvious penalties like last night when Kane was rugby wrestled to the floor??

I was really impressed with England apart from our panicked snatched at finishing....and that's the difference when you've got an in form world class striker like Kane who didn't panic just made sure stayed calm and directed the ball calmly into the net....

Hopefully the draw will open up for us and we can get to the semi at which point anything can happen.

I stick by what I said...that was quite like watching Phil Parky's alty with some lovely football, bit of a lack of quality sometimes but lots of quality in the two goals and a keep going attitude against a Tunisian side who make shaw lane look like fair play award winners...

Kane is our Jordan Hulme!!....but JJ is a class above Sterling who for me very disappointingly reverted to the country sterling last night.....as opposed to the club player who we heard now delivers when in position....

Well everyone's played one game now, star of the tournament so far is Cristiano Ronaldo but as for the team so far the honour goes to Mexico for beating the Germans closely followed by Russia for not sitting on a one goal lead other than that everyone else has flattered to deceive. in the words of the song "things can only get better"

By the time we play Belgium we will know who our opponents will be in the last 16

Do we want japan or Columbia?

If we have a preference we may be better off finishing 2nd....

I think we just keep momentum and go for it Vs Belgium...lets face it we could save harry kane and he could get injured in training anyway.

Still liking the PP look about the way England are set up as a squad...

I think we need to get Rashford going and would drop sterling ...

Definitely Japan. Colombia looked very useful tonight, and could cause us a lot of problems. Assuming they beat Senegal of course (and they'd give us a good game too !)

It doesn't sit well with me wanting England to finish 2nd in the group, so running through the permutations...

Firstly, we should fancy it against ANY of the Group H teams in the last 16. So running past that one...

If the Swiss pip Brazil to the top of their group and Germany top theirs (Sweden would have to beat Mexico), Brazil and Germany would meet each other in the last 16 and go into a separate quarter.

If we top the group, we'd get the Swiss or the runners-up of Germany's group (Sweden or Mexico) in the quarters.

Come on Football Gods  :D

Maybe it's time to stop the Rashford wankfest and get off Sterlings back? Both are young players with plenty of potential but Rashford hardly set the world on fire tonight and showed that he isn't the wonder boy that some think he is.
