Thread to discuss the football itself.
This is not a thread to discuss the hosting of the competition in Quatar.

I was thinking that, he would destroy Maguire. Plus loves the big occasion.
Three lions on their shirts and one lion on his head - mental crowd.
Kane doesn't look sharp this tournament at all.
Senegal the better side as it stands. Still a long way to go.
It was a handball. But good effort by Senegal. Too close to Pickford though.
Such a shame Mane isn't fit
England could lose this the way they are going- offering nothing. ITV commentary sounds worried. Pickford good save.
Strong hand from Pickford.
Brilliant save
Not exactly going how England would have imagined it.
There was a few Rotund shirtless Argentina fans the last day - male I hasten to add!
England are clueless.
Spitty spitty
Are fans allowed shirtless in the stadium? Bar the Senegal lads painted in their colours.
Well he started Mount against Iran. I know Senegal are a cut above them but not to the level where England should be playing for penalties against them surely. Or maybe Southgate takes this stuff literally
I was more joking than anything, I think the lads look class - the ones each with a letter of Senegal painted on their chest.
I don’t think the incident was all that different from the Poland one last game and they got the penalty.
Surely a penalty.
Bet England would be awarded that.
Probably fair enough the hand ball wasn't given but Pickford very lucky not to give one away. Was studs up and everything.
England looking exactly like what they are. $###!
Why is my comment different from what I posted? And when I go to edit, it's as I posted.
"England looking exactly like what they are. $###!"
Put it back to the original comment and the same crap happened again. Probably something to do with censoring $###!
Slop!
Great chance for Senegal.
Nah, they won't give that as a penalty.
Should have got that and Maguire would have been at fault for the stupid pass.
Surely you are aware of how ultra conservative he is as a manager - he sets up not to lose.
The whiteface is a tribal thing.
There are no racial connotations to it. I think it looks great. Adds to the vibrancy of it.
What’s Maguire moaning about. He was pushing just as much as the Senegal player. He then moans to linesman.
Some contrast between the shirtless Senegal fans painted in white dancing all match and the typical shirtless, beer-bellied lads you'd see in grounds up and down England.
Why is Southgate playing Henderson alongside Rice against a team like Senegal? Surely a central 3 of Rice holding, Mount (or Madison) at no. 10 and Bellingham oscillating between the two is what a manager looking to win this match would play?
Can't see Senegal holding out here.
C'mon Senegal!
Routine win for Senegal coming up barring a shock result.
