Don't worry. Google was my friend.

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

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)

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

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.

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 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!

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.
