    Only downside is I went England 3-0 in my bet! Can't see it staying that way

    Great goal. Kane is such a good all round player, the way he can drift and cross the ball

    Iran just can't handle us.

    This is a team that is effectively playing in their own backyard. This is a team that's held Argentina, Spain and Portugal all to a single goal in the last two competitions.

    We are making a statement here.

    It's like watching Charlton trying to break down a team, apart from the fact that England don't look like they are going to concede every time they do lose the ball.
    Okay scrap that its nothing like watching Charlton trying to break down a team ha ha.

    @Cafc43v3r we're smashing them
    Bellingham is bossing it
    Kalvin Phillips would have been playing 
    Ironically I said

    Jeez. Watch the game and enjoy yourself!

    They are not great, but I think we have also been very very good. It is difficult to break down well drilled teams as we see time and time again you've still got to put in the effort to win the ball back like we have anytime Iran do get a sniff.

    I'll be delighted if we can qualify before the Wales game

    Thats been my biggest fear of this Group Stage - Its basically a Premier League game

    England are beating this low block all wrong with this quick movement, 1-2 touch football. You're supposed to do it the Charlton way. Take 8-9 touches and pass it backwards.

    He hasn't played a game in months so he would never start this game. But don't let that ruin your argument.

    The extra subs really plays into England's hands now.

    Iran are 20th in the Fifa rankings - our team deserve credit.

    Sloppy defending there by England, you don't want better players in future games being left unmarked like that.

    Jude Bellingham is the first player to score a world cup goal for England without playing in the English top-flight.  I think.

    You keep coming up with reasons to criticis Southgate.  Who has got it spot on, when it matters, again.
