A couple of nice finishes. But Panama had enough openings that should worry Tuchel. The defence looked weak, even when the squad was announced. They've lived up to that a bit.

"Bellingham. Who else?" As the pillock says after the event, in every game. Now moved into smug victory tone.

I did laugh when 120 million Anderson was out skilled by his opponent. Good header from Kane to take the game beyond Panama.

Well, I'm not reading that, as I bought it just for that article. 🙂 Hypo's comment indicates I've wasted my pennies. Not for the first time on WSC.

England still struggling to break team's down, with very slow build ups. Moving it across the park, because they've been told to, rather than for any advantage at that speed. Despite the 'tators saying if one goes in it will be two or three, Panama have had a lot of the better movement and passing. In part, on the break, but some good understanding too. Saka and Rashford at least brought England into it towards half time.

I remember watching a Sven Goran-Eriksson Man City game that finished goalless, with neither side getting much of a shot in. What was the most boring game ever seen by some, I was rivetted by. 🙂

Just what I was remembering. Really glad they waited to get the move to a top league, and it not being all about the money. Glad we avoided this one.

I'm blaming being really young, but I think I was watching and didn't actually realise. 🙂 Bear in mind, like the entire analyst industry that followed, I was also focused on my felt tips, to record cards and subs. It was a long time before I read about it, and I remember being surprised. I remembered the opening spell, with a goal, more than anything. "Poised for a further breakthrough at anytime, by one of these cagey sides," I was probably thinking. 🙂

Can't imagine Austria ever playing out for a draw. 🙂

He's been very much in form with the press as Uruguay coach. Oh, and looking at the floor for the photoshoots.

My transaction is the bar/cafe/restaurant giving me a product and me paying for it. There's not a second transaction, where I have to prop up the below minimum wage of their staff. That's a transaction between them and their staff.

Just as well they brought in another fullback after Livramento got injured.
