Who are they "big names and big reputations" for England? Bellingham maybe, in time. Kane? What's he won? Maguire? 🤣
..
undeserved
That's what they can do. 1-0 England.
Somewhat undeserved but a moment of quality in an otherwise lacking match
Well done Henderson. Completely against the run of play though. France should have nothing to fear.
Too easy in the end
Mod Edit
Warning issued.
That was a well worked goal in fairness.
Totally underserved
Great vision from Jude to pick out Henderson there
I think Bellingham is the only midfielder in their squad who plays that pass.
England on the counter against the run of play- Southgate looks like a genius all of sudden. And I was thinking they look shite then Henderson scored.
He was very very close to tipping it away.
Very well worked goal. Can feel the bitterness from Ronnie Whelan's voice
Why is Southgate playing Henderson
...
You're great Ronnie. 😐
Has Kane had a shot on target in the tournament yet?
Senegal fooled into pushing too far forward.
England have come to life. The goal gave them confidence.
His movement made the goal in fairness.
I was at United-Liverpool in August; when Klopp was taking off Henderson the Old Tratford crowd struck up a rousing chorus of "You're just a sh1t Casemiro"😝
Senegal to push forward even more now and England will score another one or two here. They look all over the shop when caught in transition.
You jinxed it
Kane makes it 2. Tough for Senegal now.
Well done ref
Minimum of two minutes taken to the letter
Bellingham is an absolute superstar. 19 years old, madness.
And unfortunately thats the game
You big ejit.
So poor from Senegal. Now they've let Kane score with his first shot on target in the World Cup. A shot straight down the middle. Amazing, truly amazing stuff.
Right, what else is on TV?
