To be excited about the World Cup starting!

[user1471517900]

I know FIFA and Russia and whoever is involved is horrible in some way... But it's the actual World Cup. Mexico v South Korea suddenly becomes hugely important to my life! England have a likeable squad and manager. Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar. Spain sacking their manager yesterday.

It's so exciting isn't it!

I'm surprised at the school. We knew England would win it, but jeez, I didnt think Panama would be so lacklustre.

*score. Should proof read.

We knew England would win

How often we’ve been hoist by that

Why are these cheats not being sent off? Twice our players have been thrown to the ground and one deliberately thumped? They have a video ref? Why are they letting them get away with it?

Jacques. This is first game I knew England would win. Tunisia there was always a chance to lose. Belgium, we'll be lucky to get a draw.

Let's hope this can carry on when the games get tougher and all..

Wouldn't have been surprised if England made this one harder then it needed to be so nice for it to be straightforward.

@TornFromTheInside - surprise enough for you?

Panama are thoroughly unlikeable though - gobby, cheating and dirty. I also thought that only 2 minutes added on was a joke (not that it matters really) - 2 minutes were wasted on the second penalty alone!

Let’s hope Belguim are not on their A game on Thursday!

Yellow cards being given.

The VAR can only be used for certain things.

@Tali - do the lottery then! There’s never a “definite win” in sport.

Dont forget that player who spent about 3 minutes on the floor after a barely there touch to the ankle, Ali I think it was Torres.

Jacques, I do the postcode lottery. Still waiting for the knock on the door.

For once we are actually taking advantage of a poor team. Been quite a while since an England team did that.

It was Torres.
I am really disappointed in Panama playing dirty like that.

Yeah you're right tali - it was Torres - the least likeable of a bad bunch - can't believe he hasn't been booked yet.

I would like John Stones to get a hat trick here.

Nearly had 6 there.

Fuck it stands. I though that was offside.

Kane hatrick and Stones 2 has done wonders for my dream team score!!

But Harry's gone off now, so No more goals from him today!

So who are your team then tali?

I was a major Man United fan, but I've lost football over the years. Still have a soft spot for United, but normally I just watch the International games now.

Fucking hell England. Couldnt even keep them out.

But you're not supporting England? Or did I misunderstand your post after Kane's third?

I am supporting England. Watching on the iPlayer and I have a delay. So the score changes before I see the action.

Fucking hell England. Couldnt even keep them out

Hardly any shame in letting one in when you’ve scored 6 I’m glad for Panama and their fans, being trounced is miserable.

I know Jacques, but no goals is nice. Well, not if your Panama anyway.
