God save our gracious Queen,

[Vladimir]

Good luck England! I really hope Sterling scores tonight!

[Strictly Jake]

Aaah im nervous

[Alf]

Positive start

[Shaun]

Wilshere would've buried that :inamood:

[Shaun]

And that, Sterling :inamood:

Good start though

[Vladimir]

Sterling :fist:

[Alf]

Yeeeeeeeeesssss!!

[Denver]

Get innnnn

[Shaun]

That'll be a huge load of pressure off Harry now he's got the first goal :clap1: hopefully many more to follow.

[Strictly Jake]

Well they like wasting time

[Shaun]

Might as well lend them Pope, it's the only way he'd get any gametime this tournament :(

[Shaun]

Lingard doesn't want to start against Panama/Belgium it seems :think:

[Alf]

Lingard should have had two already. We're creating good chances, but you have to take them at this level.

[Beso]

Ashley young should be off...dirty elbowing bstard.

[Denver]

How did Maguire get picked?

[Alf]

Those midges look irritating

[Denver]

Oh

[Denver]

Walker needs to be off

[Beso]

And john robertson who usually tskes them.....hes handing the ball, to me.

[Vladimir]

Walker :(

[Alf]

That's why you need to take your chances when you get them.

[Denver]

That's what happens when they think 1-0 the games won

[Beso]

Oh tuna..oh tuna..you not only swim in the sea

You got nice beards
Midgies, you aint feard


You aint just fish in the sea

[Vladimir]

Walker seems so irritated since the start of the game hmm

[Beso]

Scotsman last seen heading out of stadium with empty box....

England getting humped by the midgies....big bloody jessies.

[Beso]

How much a week...shoulda gone to specsavers with some of it.

[Brother Leon]

Rashford on and he will win it for us.

[Vladimir]

All three City players flopping so far

[Denver]

The ref is fixing it for Tunisia

[Beso]

GOALLL!!! Lovely penalty from... some lad from #TUN, and just like Harry Maguire's head, it's all-square.



Nice tweet by paddy power.

[Brother Leon]

Rashford for Sterling now please.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Gone a bit floptastic

[Wizard.]

We’re rubbish

[Strictly Jake]

Well this is uneventful.

[Strictly Jake]

Actually embarrassed to be english.

[Wizard.]

Not a fight

[Denver]

Possession based football is no good

[Denver]

Get innn

[Alf]

Never in doubt

[Wizard.]

YASSS

[GiRTh]

Lucky

[Alf]

Good lads, off and rolling

[Beso]

Phew, got my stake back as a free bet.

[Calderyon]

England is going to have a hard time in this tournament if even Tunisia is giving them trouble.

[Tony Montana]

Just popped to the Tesco for some bread and milk. Passed the local pub and they all went mental when Kane scored the Winner.

[Brother Leon]

Should have been way more comfortable with the missed chances. Will take it though.

[Beso]

England is going to have a hard time in this tournament if everything Tunisia is giving them trouble.

Africas top team with a tight defence...you did well.

[Alf]

England is going to have a hard time in this tournament if everything Tunisia is giving them trouble.They didn't give us trouble. They got a debatable penalty and apart from that, our keeper didn't have a save to make all game. We battered them, and with better finishing, could have scored five or six.

[Headie]

Phew, got my stake back as a free bet.

I won £165 on a £5 free bet :cheer2:

[AnnieK]

We do enjoy making it hard for ourselves....giod result in the end but we need to do better

[reece(:]

Was sure it was gonna be a draw by the last ten mins

[Calderyon]

They didn't give us trouble. They got a debatable penalty and apart from that, our keeper didn't have a save to make all game. We battered them, and with better finishing, could have scored five or six.

Isn´t England´s problem always... lots of shots, very bad finishing.

[Calderyon]

Anyway congrats to England for the win. Now you only need to beat Panama to get through and that shouldn´t be too hard... shouldn´t it?

[Beso]

Anyway congrats to England for the win. Now you only need to beat Panama to get through and that shouldn´t be too hard... shouldn´t it?

Oh sorry, i thought you were english...i do apologise.

[Mystic Mock]

We punched above my expectations there as Tunisia have been playing well leading into the World Cup, and this isn't exactly a fantastic England team so I'm pleased with the start.

I also felt that England was actually trying to win the game for a change rather than throwing it.

[reece(:]

Anyone else think that ref was TRASH?

[Mystic Mock]

Anyone else think that ref was TRASH?

Putin must've been paying him nicely to not “spot” the rugby tackles that was made against Harry Kane, but spot a soft foul that Kyle Walker made on the Tunisia player.

To answer your question, yes he was trash.

[James]

England performance reminded me of France against Australia - an ungreat performance, but got a win.

I'm afraid I had to turn off the BBC panel - they were all drinking the England Kool Aid.

[Beso]

Oh the panel, they looked rushed at the end.

I thought england looked really lethargic, southall looked the most nervous though during the game..im guessing he is now more happier than the players....or you would like to think that anyway.

:joker: we were making that exact same joke

[Mystic Mock]

:joker: we were making that exact same joke

It's one that we can keep plugging throughout the World Cup as I'm sure there'll be more unique England moments.:joker:

[MTVN]

Love it

That game had it all - the initial hope, the frustration of the wasted chances, the **** officiating, the feeling of deja vu and despair and then the last minute glory and justice

[rusticgal]

Anyone else think that ref was TRASH?


Yes he was...he was right there when Harry Kane got pulled to the ground. It was more blatent than the one given against England...and it happened not once but twice :nono:

[michael21]

Spurs are the best that why England won

[reece(:]

Yes he was...he was right there when Harry Kane got pulled to the ground. It was more blatent than the one given against England...and it happened not once but twice :nono:

Also the fact he blatantly ignored the 10 yard rule during that free kick :rolleyes:

[Vladimir]

Yeah referees have been pretty good so far but the one from last night was awful

[bots]

England performance reminded me of France against Australia - an ungreat performance, but got a win.

The bbc panel were just awful

and as to the refereeing being bad, it was no better nor worse than on any other game played this world cup

[Natalie.]

A good result just about, definitely need to do better.

[Vanessa]

So happy England eon. They played well, i thought :cheer2:

[Crimson Dynamo]

a win is a win so that was good

[Nicky91]

congrats with this win, i did feel sad for Tunisia tbh
