No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

xpost oi don't remind me

replays shows kane onside for the first time backheel chip

you salah fanboys just cant admit a beating

GG used to hate each other though didn't they?

This team does genuinely seem like a team

world class onside

I'm sure Harry will give that to Loftus-Cheek

xp thats def one of the differences

something about the path to the top involving a bit more thought/frustration for a lot of these guys is def part of it too

xp why would he do that, his goal

This squad is like twice as fast as the largely pace-free Golden Generation.

Need Stones hat trick.

smdh ppl still claiming harry kane is a clumsy player the ball is just bouncing off

what, forty times a season?

five times in the first two games of the toughest comp in the sport?

smdh jog on lads end of

looked a handball there

just after george hamilton called drose sterling

Oh my god.

Sam Allardyce watching England vs Panama in a pub, on his own, with a Big Mac he’s brought in with him, is just outstanding 🍔👏 #ENGPAN pic.twitter.com/D1GwwqLFxk

That can't be real, can it?

worth noting that panama should have two or three

sterling cooper drama there

easy game this

Get in there!

comeback still possible!

should be about 7-4 now

england with vardy up front 0:1

have that smartarse guardian tacticians

those Panama fans are something! Much better than Brazil fans and singing loudly when they are losing.

I've never seen a set of fans so happy to be 6-1 down. Even the Ireland fans wouldn't do that.

Pretty amazing England's previous best victory in a WC Finals is only 3-0.

Panama fans <3

Equal on GD, so if england v Belgium is a draw how do they decide who goes top of the table

Yellow cards

Still time for Stones to get that hat trick.

the fuck would england want to be top

Why not? Too scared to play Japan or Senegal?

and im still lolling at stones walker

xp soz thought the way things were shaping up first had them possibly up against idk germany

presumptuous but winning the group probably leads to Brazil or Germany QF

people will overhype the fuck out of this but in a very measured way it's been nice to see England convincingly put a team away like that

when the rte biyiz wish and england team well you know its a decent group tbf

no brady mind

I'm totally rooting Senegal

Panama had nothing but England have laboured or failed to beat some right dross in the last few World Cup group stages so this situation is still hugely encouraging.

Most of the players are technically sound and have come up under serious tactically astute managers and Southgate seems to know what he's doing. He's also created a visibly relaxed atmosphere in the camp leading to none of the usual crippling stage fright.

Once you got past the United, Chelsea, Arsenal and some of the Liverpool players, previous generations would look very threadbare and tactically rigid.

They are still short of a proper playmaker in midfield and a couple of really good CBs but they'll do respectably enough. QFs seems likely.

Most of that yes but can't bring myself to rule out a fall at the first real hurdle

Niang seems to have been around forever and he’s a year younger than Pickford.

Waaaay!

✅

bah

Beautiful goal, really.

Great goal. Draw here puts even more pressure on Poland v Colombia.

all referees should be called Rocky

Have to credit Japan on how well they’ve bounced back. They looked in absolute disarray before the tournament started.

A Panama legend scored their first ever world cup goal, of course they'd be happy even if going down. Euro dominance in dour, detached spectating continues unabashed.

Panama fans are uber kind and enthusiastic. they were so complimentary after the penultimate World Cup qualifier even though we weren't the most kind hosts.

oof

oh man how do you miss that

oh man how do you miss that
