Six set piece goals out of seven apparently.

against teams we should be beating all day, of course, but it is very encouraging. That free kick for the second Stones goal was excellent

[budgetmeansbudget]

Remember Belgium struggled against this lot in the first half of their game.

[Durhamfootman]

Indeed!

tempting to wonder just how many goals England can score in this game, but second half's in these games are often a bit disappointing after the excitement of the first

[Durhamfootman]

what do we think?

Vardy for Sterling? they are wide open for someone with more pace, and it would be nice to get him on for some game time. Rashford for Kane later?

[Durhamfootman]

It is going to be Vardy

[Gingerfinch]

will Kane claim that one!

[Durhamfootman]

does that stand? bizarre way to get a hat trick if it does

[Durhamfootman]

does stand

just

and now off for a cuppa and a lie down

[yuppie]

I have to leave the house for a while, and come back to 6-0

So i guess its Lingard vs Ali as Loftus cheek will keep his place.

[Gingerfinch]

A Hat-trick for Harry. Not the best but one of note.

[Durhamfootman]

Delph for Lingard

well done sir!

[budgetmeansbudget]

will Kane claim that one!

Think Loftus-Cheek's shot was off target, so Kane should get it.

Two pens and a cannon makes him golden boot leader.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Actually looking at the replay the shot was on target, but I guess it had little chance of going in without the deflection.

Yeah wasn't the best of shots. Cheek'd done ok but I'd rather have Ali in,if and when fit.

[yuppie]

Ali and Lingard in the team would leave the midfield a little exposed against the better teams for me.

Think i would have Cheek in over one of them. I like his composure on the ball. Calming influence.
