Tunisia are absolute bastards. Can see why they gave Spain and Portugal tough game.

Not a bad game from England, just very immature in front of goal.

United = England.

Such a fragile mentality. Plays well till conceding then goes to meltdown on pitch.
Opposite of United, Not playing well and shit football till conceding first goals, United completely look different when down 1-0 and play attacking the football.

"Brazil, Spain, Portugal & Argentina didn't... England did" cringe.

Was going to mention just before the Kane goal but did anyone else see Henderson going mad at the ref for elbowing him in the back?!:lol:

They rolled about every time England actually did something.
That's Tunisia for you. We have played against them loads and loads of time, National team and clubs. They're masters at rolling over the pitch, faking injuries and time wasting.

We are in serious trouble against anyone decent, so tactically inflexible.

Just not a coincidence, that’s why Kane is top 3 strikers in the world. Remember him sneaking in a corner or two for Tottenham this season as well, purely because of instinct
It's only Tunisia, James. Or are you only keen to point out the quality of opposition when Lukaku scores?

Kane equals Owen and Shearer of 98, aiming for Lineker now

Hahaha that was awesome. Shows you how much of a pussy that ref is that Hendo could react that way.

Shite in the second half and we never reacted adequately to the adversity of the penalty. But at least we got the win, that's a huge relief.

Deserved by England, a bit worse 2nd half but deserved. When you have Kane in the team you can do good things. Not win the WC but.. :D

It must worry Southgate that his formation has been sussed 30 minutes into the first game of the world cup
I don't think so, this was the type of game we're expected to struggle with I feel.

We deserved the win and Tunisia, penalty aside, offered absolutely nothing.

Wait the ref is Tunisian? How's that happened? And what were the controversial decisions he made?

I know what you mean but that second half was real poor.
Who cares. All we need to worry about for now is getting out the group. Anyway we looked really good in the first half, they just got tired in the second.
