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

That aged well
Game over now, a few mystic macs on here.
Bellinghams composure and decision making has been elite
Job done from England, can’t see Senegal getting back into this
Where were the defenders? Very poor. England rocking and going to batter them.
..
Whats wrong with Henderson?? Wears the wrong shirt
Both goals made by Bellingham. They were pretty poor apart from him. But that's it done and dusted.
It still amazes me how critical the RTE commentators are of Southgate and England but give S.Kenny and Ireland a lot of credit
They go up and down so quickly confidence wise. One little thing and Pickford and the lads will be screaming again.
Bellingham with have another nought added to his price tag, at this rate.
Absolutely bizarre, now I’m English so maybe I’m biased but the criticism England get you would think the rte panel would want kenny gone and never to be seen again.
England were pretty poor that half to be honest, don’t deserve to be two up but those are the breaks I guess. England if they finish it off will need to improve significantly but we’re not without a chance against France.
They are managing vastly different sides so the 2 things are in no way related whatsoever.
But they’re surely the same thing, if something is poor it’s poor, look at it in context but it’s still the same thing.
England struggling against Senegal can be seen as poor (I don’t think it is), but it’s no worse than Ireland struggling against Malta. … actually Ireland struggling against Malta is much worse.
It’s only cos we all want the best for England and it stings when they underperform
Dortmund want to sell him, so it's an absolute that he'll move in the summer.
We’ll see. All it takes is one from Senegal and it’s game on again. Not saying it will happen, but USA and Australia both managed to get a goal back when 2 down, so you never know.
Bellingham is the first midfielder England have had that is able to carry the ball through the lines since Gazza.
He is excellent.
Bit of magic from Sarr is only hope I think.
That's definitely it. Nice England move.
And some thought this would be close.
So easy for England, they’re in 3rd gear here and tearing Senegal apart
Practically the same goal again.
Interestingly France were happy to let Poland have the ball today so I can see them being wise to getting stretched.
Nice goal could see a few more now. Senegal seem out on there feet now which is a shame
Time to switch over to Glenroe @@
Ah yeah, done and dusted now. So, anyway, what’s happening on Fair City ? 😄😄
Cameraman showing same few Senegal fans the whole time.
"I don't know how much Marcus Rashford is worth."
Not much.
Harsh, he has been on great form
30 minutes of boredom, then they mixed it up a bit and started go long and got 2 goals to finish the game as a contest.
An early second half goal has seen the subs come on and England will get their 'handy' ish game but I expect England will find it a completely different game the next time out. The defence did not look too hot in the first 30 and they will look a fair bit worse when under more pressure the next day.
Morocco at 110-1 to win WC is interesting, good side, haven't lost a game, only conceded 1. England now as short as 5-1, Holland at 14-1 good EW, so solid, Argentina so soft at back, I think Holland will send them packing .
