Don't worry. Google was my friend.

1, 2, 3, 4

Woaah, England are in Russia

Woaah, drinking all the vodka

Woaah, England’s going all the waaaay

In fairness, you’ve got that wrong.

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

Agree with what others have said about Panama. I can’t remember ever seen such a cynical team of dirty, cheating thugs. This is absolutely unbelievable at any level, let alone at a World Cup. It’s always good to see a team that has no interest in playing football get humiliated.

2026 will be hilarious.

On paper the two strongest teams are automatically through - that leaves Costa Rica as the standout team.

Then Panama etc

Oh I didn't realize all the extra places were coming from Europe, sorry my mistake.

Sorry I didn't list all the countries....

Your mistake was your first comment.

I guess so, powerhouses like Scotchland might even make it.

Belgium must be laughing their heads off right now. It'll be men v boys (plus Captain Kane)

I can’t comprehend the idea of spending a beautiful Sunday afternoon sitting at home watching a game of football just because I dislike a team much better than my own.

When else do I get the chance to wear that Panama hat. And scarf

Very sloppy in the second half, but somewhat understandable given the situation.

Er, Uruguay 1986? They were dirtier than a babbys nappy from Leeds in the seventies

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

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.

That’s easy, just tune in at the knock-out stage.

 

[darkwolf666]

Yep, 10 would do me as long as they get one as I have a sizeable bet on both teams to score...

Just to make this even better, I cashed this bet out, then changed my mind for better odds and won £1000 for a £200 bet... result!

 

[portlock seagull]

Fair enough. The first World Cup I can remember was 1994. Uruguay were filthy back in the day (and still are to a much lesser extent). I can’t recall anything as cynical as Panama in the first half today.

I can. Tunisia last Monday.

I'll raise your Uruguay with Italy/Chile 1962.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I remember a 1970's match. yes, involving a south american team. There was kicking and scratching and play acting and some really nasty shenanigans.......that was just in the warm up!

So what is it??

I think it is The English are in Russia.

Play like this and we will beat them. They are like the Argies individuals.

Really? I didn't think we started that well. It was an excellent finish by Stones, and being gifted the penalty helped, and then we had a golden spell. But it was Panama. We wouldn't be allowed to play like that against Brazil.

No complacency, we'll have a tough game in the round on 16, but you have to be prepared, and avoiding the top sides should we get to the quarter final is just basic planning.
