This is incredible. Really sad I can’t watch it but following on BBC website and Twitter.
Have consoled myself with this fabulous 5-1 win over Germany in 2001. Enjoy!

Doesn’t matter, it’s the WORLD CUP. Apparently 5 goals scored in the first half only ever once before - 2014 Germany against a very poor Brazilian side.

Belguim could only manage 3 against them and they are ranked 3rd in the world MAT DAVIES.

Awwww Mandy…My son has spent the last 3 days as a uk tv licence payer trying to connect to his account in uk to watch here…no joy…he bought a vpn…no joy…(all of this is way beyond my tech capabilities…) He spent a really frustrating day yesterday trying to fathom it out…not finding the French tv channels it was supposed to be on (I probably don’t have them…???) …navigating a maze of click bait websites and today he cracked it just in time…! Perfect day…x 
How did he manage that? Me and hubby tried for ages to find a way to watch it and had to give up. I am so disappointed not to have seen it live. The highlights will be on Youtube but it’s not the same. The match was on a subscription channel sadly.

Just don’t get too carried away - it was a good win. Playing Belgium would be quite a challenge if it were a knock out game - I am unsure which way the result would go, considering the results so far. England v Tunisia & Belgium v Tunisia etc.
I am still puzzled by the inclusion of Sterling over Rashford - again today Sterling had relatively little influence on the game.

I think Sterling is extremely overrated
Yes, I think I’ve run around more than him today. He doesn’t deserve his place in the team at the moment.

Problem is that Southgate seems to like him.
I don’t rate Ashley Young either, he’s too slow for for me but fits into Mourinho’s Man U side perfectly with his slow tactics.

That’s a bit OTT but they are doin ok against teams they should be beating quite easily. Belgium are a different class and will be a good test. Looks ike England will meet someone from the Colombia group but not Poland who are eliminated.

Me neither. Interesting read.
Glad I’m not a Germany supporter 
Yep! Got to laugh. About time they learnt how the English feel at major football tournaments. 
I’ve been in Jarnac and managed to catch nearly all the first half of France v Denmark.
As I have Danish as well as French links… I was prepared to cheer for whichever side did some great stuff…
Sadly the internet connection failed… and I was left muttering dark thoughts … as neither side had shown much talent up until then…
