    'England are playing the best football at the World Cup so far' - Keown.

    That wasnt a penalty imo. Ref seems like theres at least 2 more penalties in him.

    Typical though - well on top and then give away a cheap penalty .

    A 50-50 one but what was Walker doing.

    The amount of chances we're missing is embarrassing.

    Lingard should have had 3 by now.

    So many fluffed chances. Should be 3 or 4 to the good.

    Brazil all over, finish the group bottom without a win.

    Yet down the other end Kane gets rubgy tackled and nothing.

    For a little while there it didn't feel like watching England in a World Cup finals.

    Normal service has resumed now.

    Actually, still think we will win this. It's the hope that kills you though.

    Aren't the fans meant to have low expectations this time. ;)

    What are the VAR people looking at if they can’t see that as a penalty?!?

    Anyone notice Martin Keown is making a weird breathing sound after every sentence?

    If you hadn't, sorry.

    Clearly an inspirational team talk at half time. We've come out as flat as a pancake.

    Well he does look like an alien...
     
  20. Didn't see the first half, 2nd half the usual flat, slow, laboured, sideways unimaginative carp

    Brilliant stuff from England. Can't see anyone getting close to us.

    Yep. Perfect performance. Never in doubt. Time to book the team hotel for the final.

    Any team relying on Harry Maguire to be their main ball carrier when chasing the game is sure to go on and win the whole thing. Genius tactics.

    Great game, even if the result was nearly disappointing. You don't often see as exciting a game as that.

    Must have been the twigs and csrrots

    I still think we need Dele Alli limping about for 55 minutes to be sure.

    I've got quite a revolutionary theory why it took 4 years for Ashley Young to get back into the England squad...

    Simply lumping the ball over the top with Vardy on the pitch and we’d have won 17-1. Tunisia were dreadful.

    Tunisia got what they deserved, instead of going for it a bit and keeping their most creative player on the pitch, they went all defensive hoping to get a point.

    A win is a win. Tunisia are no mugs. That said there were some really poor performances in there. I liked rashford and loftus cheek though.

    Phew that was a close run thing in the end. We deserved to win but made bloody hard work of it in that second half. That’s just how football goes though, and I don’t expect the conditions were easy. Loftus-cheek and rashford both should be in contention for the next game. Less of Sterling and more tempo please.

    Pretty much echoed my thoughts entirely.

    Agreed. Made that Spain Portugal game look rubbish in comparison.

    I found it hard work watching the game, and in the studio they are talking as we have done really well, thank goodness we came through in the end, but we should have made it much easier for ourselves if we are to be thought of a real threat!

    Hope I'm wrong!

    Cancel the rest of the tournament, just give England the trophy now.
