England make one change
Loftus-Cheek replaces injured Dele Alli
England: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire; Trippier, Loftus-Cheek, Henderson, Young; Sterling, Lingard; Kane
Substitutes: Butland (GK), Pope (GK); Rose, Dier, Vardy, Welbeck, Cahill, Jones, Delph, Rashford, Alli, Alexander-Arnold
Panama...who cares!!
Morning, UWS - thanks for getting us started this morning. Great image! I'm up early and feeling great before this match.
Pointless to post the subs... it is just the rest of the squad
Morning Bob
COME ON ENGLAND!!!!
Did you guys watch the two vid links
I just hate Lexi!!
I think Wrighty is getting fed up him!
He is showing his dislike for England already
He is acting stupid pronouncing words the English way
GROW UP
Apparently, there is going to be a water break during the England match
More England fans in the stadium then there was in their first game
BBC link going strong
Usual anti-England nonsense from Alexi Lalas. Where are the US, Lexi?
I did watch the James Corden video clips - great stuff. I've always liked him, since the days of his "Smithy" routine. I'm really happy that he's done so well in the States. Well deserved.
I want England to start like they did against Tunisia....just put the ball in the back of then net... Jessie, Raheem and co
Fox's dislike of England is shown by their match is the only one of six played this weekend on FS1
Of course, they don't have a choice for the last match
Both group games are played at the same time so Fox couldn't justify putting Tun Pan as their main match
Gareth Southgate has encouraged his team to make their own history, and if they start well today they could break the record for England’s biggest win at a World Cup. The current record is 3-0, against Poland and Paraguay in 1986 and Denmark in 2002.
Ridiculous that they aren't showing this one on Fox.
No water breaks... Gabby just said
It is around 86... that's not bad
Downright cool for MUR
I so hope they can beat the record
Still, no one is talking about not finishing first
If Mexico get a point... Germany would finish second
Crucial!!
Looks like we're going to get some hot weather for your trip out here next week - most days are in the 80s.
Lineker is saying that he preferred playing in a team creating chances than not and England created so many against Tunisia
Belgium scored 5 against Tunisia but England had 7 GREAT not half chances inside the first half!!
Teams in the tunnel now - come on, the boys!
Speaking of Lineker...he scored five of those six goals vs Poland and Paraguay
Come on England
Come on England
Come on England
Good morning, Bob and Dave. Up to cheer for England!
Two more for Harry today and he'd be level with Ronaldo and Lukaku. I'd take that.
Lots of England fans in attendance.
A very good morning to you, MUR. Are you feeling good?
The monitors in the stadium are breaking up inside the stadium for the reporters
God Save Our Gracious Our Queen
COME ON BOYS!!!
Morning MUR
I'll take your two and double it to four...come on 'Arry!!
First ever meeting between these two sides
Most thought that Young would be replaced by Rose having a natural left footed player
We got the woman again with Derek Rea
Here we go... We are off
They're off from Novgorod.
Traditional colors for both sides today. We're set to go. Jesse Lingard gets us going.
At least my picture is in HD...unlike the German game yesterday
4 years to the day that England went out of the WC
Panama dropping deep already. Great to see Loftus-Cheek get to the by-line already.
Nice play down the right... awful control by Lingard!!
Lingard then got an elbow in the face!
Nasty clash there between Gomez and Lingard, who got an elbow to the face.
Feeling pretty confident. Just hope the ref doesn't let Panama pull any antics. Then Gomez elbows Lindy in the face. Why are the Three lILions called for a foul. Surely a penalty?
Southgate is pointing out that elbow to the fourth official.
I thought the one guy said he's going to have to come off...but seems like he will stay
Trippier concedes a foul. And the ref gives Hendo a bollocking Don't like this ref already.
Free kick cleared out.
AT least the humidity is low. Wish that was true here
Oh - big chance for Gudoy. Don't like that at all. Come on!
Struth...thank goodness they suck!!!
That should have been one nil Panama
Come on England... get your fingers out
Then Yash concedes possession to Barcenas and a player put through , who shoots high and wide
Oh no - Panama are already getting floppy and the ref is falling for it. This could be a problem.
I know this is only five minutes but I don't like what I am seeing
The players seem to be riled
The Rodriguez rolls around from minimal contact. Guess he didn't thin it was Tongue N' Cheek.
England going the wrong way!
Corner...all of our goals came from corners so far
Walker with a long ball to Trippier who overruns it, but wins a corner.
This is getting ridiculous in the box
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!
Stones scores after a serious load of mugging in the area!
1-0 England!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! STONES HEADS IN THE CORNER FROM TRIPPIER
Kane was being hugged
Panama was too worried about fouling the other guys
All the goals still from corners. Gareth celebrating with the working arm
Three goals three corners
Panama will have to attack and not pull antics or else they're out. It would be good riddance.
Tom said he heard that Lukaku, Hazard and Mertens all out of the next game
They've figured out what I have!!
Armando Cooper booked for a foul from behind on Lindy. Suspended for the next match
Now we need a couple more!!
Good to see an early booking for a Panama player. Hopefully that will settle things.
phew... that was a dangerous ball!!
Gave the ball away again... not liking some of the chances given away here
They have a sore throat?
Stay onside, Raheem!
Agreed. Another couple of goals will be great
Hendo tries to find Loftus-Cheek out wide but he can't control the pass.
I read something about MUR being cool!
Our shape looks good.
Oh - Kane nearly in there.
Kane almost put thru
OH!!! Just too long for Harry Kane and Jaime Pinedea, the former Galaxy keeper, rushes out to gather.
You're too cool for school, mate.
Oh - Barcenas was allowed to shoot there. Don't like it at all.
Come on England... don't keep it at 1 nil
Shot just wide by Panama...knock it off
Better from Panama and Bacenas not too far woff with a long range curling effort.
Panama are creating some chances...more than Tunisia did
Were they like this against Belgium
Come on, England. Settle down. This ref has been calling a lot of fouls against us. We'll need to be very careful in the box.
86 would feel cool to you
No - they really didn't get a sniff against Belgium. Don't like this at all. It's all going down Ashley Young's side.
Ramon Torres down, but doesn't seem injured. Why is this taking so long? Hate coaches asking for cards. Poor sportsmanship. He doesn't do that when hi players do the same.
Lingard is really getting knocked around.
I don't think this has been a good start for England
I was more pleased against Tunisia
That's true, UWS and it's far more humid. Highs in the mid 90s yesterday , but the heat index topped out at 111 yesterday.
YESSSS!!!!!
Penalty to England. Lingard brought down!
Lingard in... PENALTY ENGLAND!!
No VAR please!!
Def... just pushed him over!!
COME ON HARRY
Can he continue to be an answer to that quiz...please yes
Nice and easy now, Harry. You can do it.
WAY HAY !!penalty England as lindy brought down by Escobar. Ramon Torres looked clueless
He was onside
Come on Harry!!!
Not even a card? Why is the ref allowing Panama to pull antics? He's lost control.
England are letting Panama get in their heads here
Up comes Harry....YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! What a penalty! And after all of those shenanigans.
2-0 England!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! SUPERB PENALTY FROM HARRY KANE AND ABLE TO PUT ENGLAND TWO UP.
What are Panama complaining about
Three Lions blasting in the stadium
Tongue N' Cheek booked for England
I fear that the mind games are going to hurt England today
Panama are going to get into England's head
They might be complaining about encroachment on the spot kick
That was a great penalty!!
It didn't affect Harry Kane on the spot kick. Gareth will need to address that at the half.
No one is saying that coming first isn't the best thing to do
Now then - England have a +3 GD, Belgium have a +6 GD. We don't want to go crazy here, for the reasons that UWS outlined yesterday.
This Egyptian ref is having an atrocious match. They need to send refs home after performances like that
They won't know their first game but they will know who's up next!!
I fear it will hurt a player or two with yellows
England need to score four more goals to be top.
Teams like Panama are an embarrassment to the region.
These guys kept out the US
I don't want that... just score three more
Panama with aimless passing. That's fine for England
Who is this American girl? Don't like her at all.
Does that show how poor the U.S. are. And only because we couldn't get a draw with T&T
It's Ally Wagner
Germany could still win the group but it will sorted before the last match
Second 11 vs second 11
England are giving away some chances.... other teams would punish us
Oh - Sterling nearly got around the back there.
Sterling earns another free kick chance. Let's use it!
Maguire heads just over off the free kick from Trippier.
Oh - Maguire ghosted in at the back and nearly got the nod back across the box.
Mag with a free header at the back post...lands on the roof
If England wear red and Belgium wear yellow on Thursday I will throw something at the TV!!
Rule Britannia!
If England wear red and Belgium wear yellow on Thursday I will throw something at the TV!!
Britannia rules the waves
An interesting scenario in Group F. If Sweden defeat Mexico by a goal and Germany defeat Korea 1-0 then all three teams will be level on points , GD , and goals scored. It will come down to the three teams headed to head record.
Young nearly in there. Couldn't quite reach it.
Those kits would be the colors of the refs cards.
Wow - so then who would go through?
Blas Perez dropped for Panama?
YESSSS!!!!!!
What a strike from Jesse Lingard! Marvelous!
3-0!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LINGARD WITH A GREAT GOAL!!
35 minutes... ALREADY THREE NIL!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! LINDY SCORES A SUPERB GOAL TO PUT ENGLAND THREE UP.
Lovely interchange between Sterling and Lingard and wallop!
They need to stop scoring soon
They are going to blow it!!
Oh - Stones completely missed that shot from Perez. Phew!
Panam sat back and allowed England time to pass . It culminated in Yash passing to Lindy . He played a one two with Sterling then scored with a curler in the upper 90 from just outside the box.
Harry Kane wins a free kick
Now we've got a free kick. I am loving this!
It's 4-0! Wow! Unbelievable! Where is this coming from!
GREAT FREE KICK!!!
Stones with his brace!!!
Of course Sterling missed!!!
GOAL !! JOHN STONES WITH HIS SECOND AS HE SCORES WITH A HEADER FROM A YARD OUT
Not offside in the first, second and third wave
One from the training pitch that actually worked. Lovely little chip to the back stick. Nod back and Sterling should have scored. Stones did!
Four Nil.....stop scoring
VAR are checking...Goal!!
Oh - England are rampant now, looking for more goals. What do you think, UWS?
Trippier took it short to Hendo, who who cross ed into the box. Kane headed on. It bounced off the ground and Stones headed in from two yards out
That was going in too
Lindy has a shot deflect for a corner.
PENALTY ENGLAND OFF THE CORNER.
That was another penalty
He called it
England are going to blow this!!!
Stones grabbed by Murillo, of the Red Bulls. Panama just falling apart.
Kane to score again...I don't want these goals
Can you believe this....England are rolling!
Rscobar booked and Torres says he's not the only one. Get over it!
Fine if he misses?
FIVE NIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOAL !!! ENGLAND FIVE UP AS WE ENTER STOPPAGE TIME! HIS SECOND BOTH FROM THE SPOT.
I think England's most WC goals was the final in 66?
Beat that record before half
I do not believe it! 5-0 - we're breaking records this morning.
Harry Kane tied with Ronny and the Chunk for GBB
Another elbow in the face
So we're now level on GD with Belgium. Wow!
Correct. I think that's a record for England.
The BBC bloke just said about talking about not winning group but Murphy says you want momentum
Half time
WOW!!
England need too keep their heads
A record setting half for England as they're five up vs a really pathetic Panama side.
1, 2 3, 4, 5
What a time to be alive!
Just like the first match... five goals in the first half... well should have been
My Facebook feed is blowing up with joyous England fans celebrating. We've never seen a match like this at the World Cup.
Kane tied for GB
Great move for England 4th from the training ground...problem...why have Sterling on the end of it
The boys are telling me that Messi is picking the team for the Argies.... the manager has been stripped of decision making
This, gents, is a dilemma that we've rarely seen before. England 5-0 up at half-time. So, we don't need more goals. But we need to avoid injuries to players like Kane. So, he should come off now and bring Vardy on.
I'm with you Bob
Agreed. Gareth will need to mention that to the players. Panama out , so other than pulling nonsense, what other motivation do they have?
I agree with Bob as well.
England and Belgium are dead level right now
6 points
8 goals
2 concede
GD +6
Wow - will Cesar Sampaoili win the sack race before the group stage ends?
Hard to believe the U.S. would have been this poor.
Wimbledon starts Monday July 2
Or as Americans say
Wimpleton
I read that there is a 20 million dollar buyout clause if he's sacked. That's probably why he's still in charge,
Back on at Novgorod for the second half now. Fox nearly missed the kickoff.
Off we go
Second half underway after a record setting half for England.
Why hasn't Gareth made some changes.
Panama merely playing for pride. never seen them do that
England are going to win the group and blow it all
Of course, everyone in England will start wanting them to win the WC
Panama out scored 8-0 in the last 90 minutes. Would the U.S. have been this bad?
Who's for a hat-trick....for Stones!!
England creating more
Wow - England passing it about for fun.
Who's for a hat-trick....for Stones!!
England creating more
You know it's going well when you're center back is on a hat-trick!
The Panama coach had talk to Southgate
Hope he said....we are just going to take it easy
Actually, England has seven goals and Belgium eight. England should just pass the ball around
Oh - Sterling nearly in there!
Great sweeper keeping by Pinedo as Sterling was through
