Forgot the Kane one hungover and at a Funeral today . Despite the good stuff we're playing it's still worrying.

Has always been the way, very British. Has applied to many sports persons - Kane, Gazza, Hamilton, Botham, Froome, Joshua, Hamed, Radcliffe, Andy Murray. A very noisy and spiteful minority who want these sporting/personal world's to collapse.
In countries such as Sweden, every successful sports person on the global stage, is idolised across the nation.

Well 'the hand of god' will know a lot about theft and stealing a game by cheating as regards Falcao , what's to be said well he couldn't make it in the PL as he was not good enough.

Lingard's goal should be a contender for goal of the tournament.

Still buzzing 
The Goal of the Tournament showreel for this year's WC will be stunning. So many bangers. Nacho, Quaresma and Pavard were the most satisfying for me, But Lingard's was joyous, as was Stones' 2nd v Panama.

Musa’s against, I can’t remember, marvellous goal though.
Nacho and Pavard, both brilliant (though in truth I'm not convinced Pavard REALLY meant to cut it that much!)
Quaresma I'm ruling out, as he only did it because he has LITERALLY ( (c) J.Redknapp) no left foot.
Lingard's was as great as it was unexpected.
I'd add:
Messi - the first two touches were absolutely incredible. Nobody else could have scored that.
Ronaldo - insanely good free kick, without even factoring in the match situation.
Son's tap in, when Neuer was 30 yards from the OTHER goal. Brilliant.
Toivanen v Germany - the technique to dink the keeper at the pace he was moving, was absolute class.
Mbappe v Argentina (his second) - again the quality of the finish, given the pace he was running = world class.
Di Maria's belter v France, Mertens' dipping volley v Panama, Coutinho's curler v Switzerland all quality strikes too.
Both of Musa's goals against Iceland were quality. The first, he controlled it in his stride and BELTED it in. The second, sat the keeper on his arse, cut inside, took a breath to compose himself, then knocked it past the defender on the line. Both great.

England players have revealed quite a lot about their preparation for penalties since the game - not sure how wise that is given the possibility that we will be involved in at least one more.
