6-0? Hattrick?

Lot of ridiculous betting promos coming in

Golden boot time

But it isn’t like this across the groups though. I think Panama are the second lowest ranked team at the tournament, and it just so happens that unfortunately (or fortunately if you look at it another way) they are in England’s group. And if you do away with supposedly lesser nations that will obviously affect England’s chances. Would you really want to replace Panama with a much higher ranking team?

I couldn't give a stuff what it would do to England's chances. I would like to see the best 32 teams at the finals. If you want to be the best, you must beat the best.

Tunisia v Panama will be a tasty event - 22 cheats/thugs. A mass fight, please.

Hopefully no more goals so we stay second and a draw on Thursday allows us to stay behind Belgium.

We're not behind Belgium at present And I don't get finishing second, why?

To think soon a further 24 teams worse than Panama will be taking part in the finals.

My friend bought Milk Tray and I'm having a chocolate each time we score and I've now had six chocolates and now I'm feeling fat.

Still... we want seven, we want seven, we want seven.

England cricketers doing there best to get wrapped up and catch the end of the footy

England are just SO DULL (when we go 5 up before half time)

Southgate OUT!

It does seem like they're trying to keep the number of wickets down with goals England score.

Was that our very own Hope Powell in the crowd?

No there won't be. Teams like Italy, Netherlands, etc aren't worse.

Never thought I'd say this, but I really like J. Rodriguez.

I wrote that when it was 5-0 and we were behind Belgium on GD.

The way it’s shaping up the winner of our group will potentially play Brazil or Germany in the QF while the runner up could be looking at Mexico or Switzerland. It’s all ifs and buts I know. The other way of looking at it is that maybe we should just look at playing Brazil or Germany as a great chance to knock them out. On the evidence of this tournament so far we’d have a good chance.

OK thanks

Panama comeback is on

 

[TomandJerry]

Come back is ON

6-1. Very poor defending
