The Official England Thread-The Team We All Support [Vol 2]

[TCEvo]

Excellent. That was one out of Shearer's cannon.

Cheating tossers getting what they deserve.

[Captain Smerc]

Goal Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !

[MiniMan64]

These need to lose and lose badly.

I'm feeling a bit odd now, we can even take penalties.

This doesn't feel right.

One man does not a penalty taking team make

Perfect pen, on target with loads of power, you can't really go wrong.

I fancied 3-0 with two from Kane (again) too.

Genuine question for a don't-want-much-footie person:

Why, especially now that they have VAR, is it not an instant yellow, or even a red, for diving? All this theatrical writhing on the ground, when the camera often shows that there wasn't even any contact at all, needs to be stopped, it's pathetic. Why won't the authorities do anything about it? I'm genuinely puzzled?

VAR is new so the protocols as to how and when it is called for and who calls for it is still in its formative stages.

Of course - but my point is, this should have been put in place years ago, and now has the further backing of VAR, so why not?

This Kane bloke isn’t half bad,
One of the big teams in the premiership should sign him 😁

[cuprabob]

No more goals please, I've got 2-0 but I fear there may be another couple.

[Cobnapint]

Panama should have had a full deck of yellow cards by rights

[mickk]

When's Gareth going to unleash the master plan that involves Stirling?

[Gandahar]

That was a great penalty after all that malarky

[Mothersruin]

Sterling has been offside every time he's been picked out.

If his one job is to run around a bit, he's cant even do that without getting it wrong.

[vonuber]

I'm only going to feel comfortable if it is 4:0.

He is, without doubt, a complete waste of space.

Luckily the Panamanians are awful in front of goal.

I was nervous for him just watching and God knows how he must have been feeling.

There has always been a strong case against bringing technology into football on the grounds that the whole appeal of soccer is that the game is simple and the same - no matter what level it is played at.
If top level football ends up with technology dictated interruptions but lower levels doesn't - how would that effect the game overall? Would it put youngsters off, for instance, because their local club match down the park does not have access to state of the art TV and frame by frame review?

Calling for technology too often in the game can also slow down the flow and make games seem stuttering and stop start.

[Alpinestars]

Their number 6 is a .

What does Ashley Young bring to this team?

Awful footballer.
