VAR is canny drama tbf It's fucking brilliant, World Cup's live and die by the comicalness of the refereeing on show.

100% the ref bottles this and blows up early. Should still be 5 minutes here.

This is the most invested I've been in any game so far.

Fuuuuuuuuck, was on my feet.

Pel and a half.

This is outstanding.

People turning their noses up at the wonderful combination of VAR and Lawro don't deserve the game.

Pitch for a new 6 part Netflix series: Lawro and Pepe travel the world together.

That's a blatant red on that last angle btw.

Bewwww

Dooooooooo it!

*THAT* is the issue you have with that shit? Tbf, it was only because they couldn't get Richard Blackwood to sign on to do another.

Thought 'CGI Phil Jones' was inspired.

Be interested to see what he changes for Belgium. Suspect Dier might come in alongside Henderson, and Rashford coming in for Sterling. I'd bring Rose in too. Good opportunity to test ourselves against better quality opposition knowing a loss isn't the end of the world.

Fake news, just checked, was Lingard FGS.

Of course! Had him for a hat trick, literally perfect timing for me Perfect!

That goal puts us top btw.

Defender's heel playing him on.

Of course!

Last touch n'all

Get in

What a way to get your hat-trick.

Their constant cheating makes it very satisfying. They're soooo bad though We've done worse against worse teams, I'm just enjoying having an England team that don't make everything a total chore. Trinidad and Tobago in 06, Algeria 2010, Costa Rica in 14. We generally make a right meal of these games. Costa Rica were miles better than these tbf Aye I know, but we've routinely struggled with the 'easiest' game of our group for the past 3 tournaments. Refreshing to see us come out and stroll through for once.
