Smallings played in games with var and didnt concede a penalty.
Also we already know he isnt in the squad because southgate wants ball playing defenders. We know that because...well because southgate told us.
Day 11: England vs Panama, Japan vs Senegal and Poland vs Colombia

Hard to gauge. Tunisia and Panama are so inferior. Croatia are just one team that would absolutely maul England.
Well said Shearer. Concussions are no joke
why ? and why is he a prick ?
Not sure. England look like a really good team. They have pace and plenty of goals in them, and they look confident.
Harold Cummings.
True but you can only beat what's in front of you.
I said before the tournament i can see them in the semis
As long as they aren't this dirty, what exactly is the problem?
That's class, to be fair. Quite enjoying watching this team of dirty, cheating twats (with awesome names) getting absolutely anihilated though. I hope we don't let them off with 5.
Gave the benefit of the doubt to Gomez for that first elbow on Lingard at the time but seeing how the dirty cnuts play it had to be intentional and could have had serious consequences too!
I mean the number. Max, should be one or two.
No one was saying this stuff about Panama being a pub team when they were giving Belgium a game.
This is our world cup to win. Face the facts guys it's clearly coming home.
too early for this.
They're a pointless waste of space
Doesn't this assume that both Brazil and Germany will win their group? It's not impossible that they might not and then the whole outlook changes. Though we'll know that before the England v Belgium game anyway.If England finish first they'll probably play Brazil/Germany in the quarters. If England finish second in the group they'll probably play Mexico/Switzerland and have an easier run to the semis on paper.
Obviously it's England and they might feck it up against anyone but the team is looking good and as of now finishing second place in the group would be better. They're fecking up by scoring too many goals today

I don't expect us to win it anyway, but I'd love to see a big knockout game against Brazil or Germany. It's what the world cup is all about.
I just worry that we'll struggle to retain our crown in Qatar. Think of the heat.
Totally agreed with what he said, he did a programme on it a while back so he's clearly well up on it.
Teams that start the tournament sharply tend to fizzle out, it's the ones that scrape through playing pretty badly and find form in the knockouts that tend to win it. Having said that, I think we'll do alright in this Tournament.
Panama's half time talk huddle:- "Second half lads, 0-0"
Happy for England, but Panama really, really angers me. Not that they're crap, but their whole approach seem to be based around unfair play. Wouldn't surprise me if their sole objective for the second half is to create situations where England players might get sent off.
We’ve played the likes of Trinidad/Algeria and looked awful. This is pretty nice to watch considering England normally flop against rubbish opponents in tournaments.Mate it’s panama
They said he same thing when they drew Iceland in 2016.If England finish first they'll probably play Brazil/Germany in the quarters. If England finish second in the group they'll probably play Mexico/Switzerland and have an easier run to the semis on paper.

Germany and Brazil aren't playing well, I think Mexico's cutting counters could really trouble England
In December?
Or seriously injured
History taught us that England feks it up somehow however they're good.
Well played England so far. My favorites for the cup this year
In terms of team cohesion, England have been the best side in the tournament alongside Mexico.
The formula looks very promising right now. Obviously, other teams have better individuals, but Kane is as clinical as any of them. It's a nice balance.
Mad England's biggest world cup win was only 3-0 before today. Shows how underwhelming things have been even in good tournament years.
I hope you guys are taking part in that Auto Trader competition, since you get a chance to win every time England score.
Defence is poor. It will get punished against better teams
Underwater?
So are there any England fans wanting to win by more here?
Biggest positive here is that it's an advertisement for why a 48 team world cup is a terrible, terrible idea.
Get Vardy on. We've out-played and out-scored this lot, I want us to out-cnut them as well.
Oh dear, English fans don't do it to yourselves!
Mexico have been playing much better opposition.
Agree. Quite frankly they are an embarrassment to their country, you would have to be ashamed if you were from Panama.
Pathetic, unpleasant, cheating team - so pleased we are smashing them.
And no icy beer to fight it, if I'm not mistaken.
I know it’s Panama so it’s hard to judge but our movement, passing, and understanding between players has been great. For the first time since a long long while we look like a team instead of a randomly assemelated group of players.
