Group G Matchday 1 - 18th June - Belgium 3-0 Panama, Tunisia 1-2 England

[Beelzebub]

Tunisia aren't looking to park the bus 

[Stan]

How the fuck are these offences not being spotted in the box?! Fucking strangling Kane. 

[Bluewolf]

They are seriously taking the piss now... Kane again being bundled to the ground

VAR only seems to be wank when we are playing.. 

[Rick]

Wow, absoluteky ridiculous that none of these have been sorted by VAR 

[6666]

We should get a penalty but Kane getting slapped around is pretty funny.

[Guest]

Kane pinned down to the ground twice in this game, no penalty

Walker carelessly swings his arm and hits the face, penalty

I get that Tunisia's penalty was the correct call, but you seriously shouldn't miss the other 2 blatant calls. The ref has been shit, and Tunisia are just shithousing it now with provocative actions. They are taking advantage.

Yes, they have a decent team.

A curious note, 7 players in their starting XI are french-born. France develop so much talent in their academies.

Possession based football is rare in an "underdog" and requires technical ability. Definitely know their football and are well organized. Notice how they pass the ball even in their own box under pressure, like a Guardiola side. Not as good of course but the ideas are there.

Signals gone down ahhhh

OH WHAT A GOAL FROM KANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stan]

100% these refs are being paid to fuck us over. Those penalty calls are stonewall. 

[Cicero]

Credit to Tunisia. They are very comfortable moving the ball in the back

He's been crap, this is what is so irritating about watching England is fans bringing their club allegiances into it. I love Maguire, came to the fore at Hull but he's been awful so far, hopefully he improves but I doubt he'll start the next one.

Okay fair enough but saying his World Cup is over is a bit OTT. 

[Stan]

We look knackered all of a sudden. Fresh legs Gareth? 

[Batard]

This referee is not good. Not good at all. 

[SirBalon]

Stones gets a lot of stick but he's a very very good footballer.  Love that type of centre back.

[Stan]

Great ball by Henderson that.

Lack of winter break you see.

[6666]

English clubs voted against VAR so they're not using it in England matches and laughing. Or that's what it looks like.

Could have a nine month break in Wales and you still wouldn't qualify you melt.

Haha. Someone's having a meltdown. 

[The Artful Dodger]

Got to be time for Rashford, then maybe Vardy?

Pretty much and there's some real bad cases like Michael Owen and Steve McMannaman.

[Batard]

England haven’t been half bad, but it’s just missing a bit of class in the final 3rd to knit it together 

[Danny]

Bring Delph on for Young, need a left footed left back on

[Panna King]

Alli is the English Ozil,  has gone missing.
