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

Well the penalty against although soft was given, then 2 blatant fouls on Kane don't even get so much as a flag but we can't blame anyone but ourselves for not being further in front than this with the early chances we created.. If we can put that right then a bit of justice might be done..

At least Sam Allardyce will be happy with how things are going.

Allardyce would be fuming about all the chances England have created, far too many.

[Batard]

Same old England. A draw here is not a good result 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Thank fuck Sterling's off, he's been a huge disappointment so far.

[SirBalon]

England have slowed down quite a bit but the passing remains quality.  The question is how fit are the Tunisians!  They don't look as unfit as the Mexicans.

Looking at the way VAR has gone against us tonight we can consider ourselves lucky if we can hold on for the draw...

Trippier and Young are England's free kick takers.

Might be a bit controversial but Vardy for Kane? 

Kane looks knackered.

In my opinion Tunisia are playing too deep for Vardy's attributes.

[Danny]

Why have we abandoned our passing game?

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

Here, sports journalists also comment matches.

The impression I have is that in England, TV networks form an all-star of great names without caring if they offer real insight and break down well the game to viewers. Some of the best analysts are guys who were non-stars.

Commentators suggested the weather is an issue. What temperature are England playing in compared with Tunisia..?

[Batard]

This match got really shit. If England can’t deal with teams like Tunisia, best go home now 

[The Artful Dodger]

Great position this...

Embarrassing shout that. 

Also, regarding the game I wouldn't mind taking off a defender for Vardy. We don't need three at the back when Tunisia are wasting time.

I just hope the players or manager doesn't use that excuse. 

[Eco]

Wasteful

[Cicero]

Does it make sense having both Lingard and Alli? Like having both Henderson and DIer 

[SirBalon]

Even if that was on target, it lacked so much pace that I'm surprised it made it over the crossbar.  Why is Young taking free Kicks?

From Beckham, To Lampard/Gerrard, to Ashley Young

Reuben Loftus-Cheek with the winner 

[SirBalon]

John Stones apparently fouled the keeper WITH HIS HEAD! 

[6666]

We've been a lot worse this half. Like properly average.

[Tommy]

Tunisia needs more goalkeepers. 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Ha their keeper has braces.
