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

Just need Kane and Maguire to score now to make this a perfect start

Feels weird watching a team pass it forward.

I dunno... team in white, battering a team in red

Feels like I'm watching a replay of Saturdays game all over again

Glad to see England with the gloves off…credit to Southgate and the players of course

Not convinced by our defence but going forward we look very sharp.

I wonder if we're only playing a back four because Walker isn't fit

It's been very nice. So much easier when your two CB's are very comfortable on the ball and they are not getting pressed.

Brilliant half, that’s why you play left footers on the left and right footers on the right Garner quick early crosses.

I think Micah could get on your tits after two weeks in the jungle……..

Nah it's much better having players on the wrong side, cutting back onto their stronger foot, being closed down, then having to pass backwards...

Personally I'd be bringing on nick Pope and conor coady for kane and saka

Iran all over the place. Only time I've seen more panic was today when I was trying to plug my laptop into the big screen at work at it wasn't working.

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

I don't think we'll be able to fit in another Group game before Wales kick off at 7pm ...

Three great goals! Especially love Saka's and Sterling's. Such an enjoyable half of game! 😀

Nice one - tempted to cash out the correct score and let the other one run?

82% possession 😂

Maybe but there are very few footballers I would want to go for a night out with. He seems a top fella and has a real fan's perspective.

This has got England 3-0 win written all over it.
