[Football] *** The Official Match Day Thread: England v Panama ***

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Panama getting dirty now.

Slow posting they started 45 mins ago

 

[Dick Swiveller]

A ridiculous excuse of a game of football. Fair play to our lot for not rising to it and doing the job but this is a non league level team playing rugby. I get why they have regional qualifying and it does produce fairy stories occasionally but if this is what it produces, bring on worldwide qualifiers. Get these shenanigans out of the way in the qualifying and have the best 32/48 teams playing in the finals.

 

[Motogull]

I hope they don't drop a couple of gears for the second half.

Jesse must be on the goal of the WC for that beauty.

 

[Eeyore]

Seriously makes you wonder how Panama managed to make it to the finals. You can't get carried away by any of this excepting that England seem to have a decent set up these days.

 

[Weststander]

Gareth Southgate earning his salt!
Give other players a run out in second half.

Subs - GS will have to bide his time, as we don't yet know who's going to be stamped on or elbowed out of the game by these cowardly thugs.

 

[LamieRobertson]

The only downside to this is a player getting injured or dragged into the dirty play of Panama and being sent off

 

[Triggaaar]

Stop bloody scoring! Win this group and we get knocked out by Brazil.

If CRcheat had scored it, it would be awarded now.

I want ten

Don’t worry we will lose to Belgium.

 

[W.C.]

I'll never use that canal again. Or wear the hat.

Preferred the Suez anyway.

 

[Triggaaar]

Belgium are resting their players, and they don't want to top the group. We'll have to score a deliberate own goal, and that could lead to disqualification due to bringing the game into disrepute.

Just stop bloody scoring!

 

[Hugo Rune]

That number 6 is a nasty nasty ****. Elbow in Lingard’s face and other dubious attempted fouls and cheating. He seemed to punch Kane in the back as he wrestled him down before the penalty.

 

[LVGull]

Stop bloody scoring! Win this group and we get knocked out by Brazil.

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

 

[LamieRobertson]

Hard choice over who to watch on Thursday....Panama v Tunisia or England v Belgium ..hmmmm

 

[Weststander]

So lucky BBC had this game, to give 15 minutes of very happy analysis.

ITV would've killed it with two long sets of zzzzzzz ads.

 

[KZNSeagull]

I want ten

Was 40/1 a minute ago. now 33/1. Enrest must have GONE large.

 

[Weststander]

I want ten

With a couple of Panamanian thugs receiving red cards, would be sweet.

 

[seagulls4ever]

Wouldn’t have started Lingard.
