England were great for the first 30 minutes against Tunisia. Sterling was part of that, so deserves his place in my opinion. Rashford off the bench is a great option.

Loftus Cheek deserves his place and i think it will make England more solid. And to think Chelsea bought in Barkley and Drinkwater. Crazy.

I agree with everything you said here.

I will only see the first half. We have a table reserved for our wedding anniversary. The easiest time to reserve a table is when England are playing.

Another blatant penalty, VAR won't be interested.

The ref penalised Lingard, what a joke.

Nasty elbow there.

The game has stopped, why are they not looking at that?

Because it was against us and VAR is not available in the opposition box when we playing.

Matters not, bullet Stones header.

I thought the ref was going to disallow that and give us a pen!

Would have been interesting if England did not score from that. Because McGuire was being tackled and it really would have been a test of VAR against England.

Targeting Linegard it seems....

Great start on paper but we've been rubbish sonfsr

The Belgium game could be 5-5 if we defend like this.
