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

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.

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.

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.

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.

[parmnion]

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.

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

[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

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

[michael21]

Spurs are the best that why England won

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

[Vladimir]

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

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]

[LeatherTrumpet]
