Things can only get better from there I guess?

Any excuse

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Mathew Norman the journalist, wrote, more than 20 yars ago, that the 4 stages of the mind of an England supporter during a tournament are Fear, Missplaced Optimism, Disappointment, Disgust.

I normally go to disgust after the first game. Oddly I haven't felt any of these, this tournament. Nervous excitement all the way, so far

I think we’ll win but it won’t be comfortable. HATS off to Panama for qualifying though...

That's one way of keeping England's goal difference down.

I'll be watching the game with Octavio, my good friend from Panama.

Well let's hope he scores at least one of the 50 chances he usually needs to score.

Savour this last mickey mouse game folks because there's only credible opposition waiting down the line after today

Tom, it's always been a great reassurance to England fans that we can count on the usual Scottish optimism and support.

 

[perseus]

I think both Panama's full backs ar looked quite good (by Albion standards) and their central defender that plays in Europe quite good as well.

I'm quite pleased Sterling is starting instead of Rashford. I'd rather have a fresher Rashford for later in the tournament, if we progress. Supposed to be very very hot there today.

Sterling to prove his nay-sayers wrong today!

Must be due one soon.

To be fair, the game isn't all THAT Mickey Mouse. Scotland didn't qualify...again

Let's hope so. I am no fan but would love him to prove me wrong.
