Shearer actually talking sense about rules regarding concussion

Definitely. It makes complete sense. Therefore, it will never be implemented.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

6-0 now!

Kane hat-trick!

 

[Jimlaad43]

Kane takes the lead in the Golden Boot!!!

 

[jake2013guy]

There's definitely still a chance Panama could win this game. But there's more chance that a 23 clone squad of me would win the World Cup.

 

[Lizard]

Keeper didn't even try to stop that.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Let's have a corner and get two England players to score a hat trick this game

Is John Stones going to take the penalty?

Imagine if we played USA instead. It would be an NFL score!

 

[Jimlaad43]

Bottled it...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Panama comeback starts now!!

 

[jake2013guy]

Having a look at the groups, I'd rather we got 2nd in the group. I think the team that comes first in Group H will be weaker than the one that comes 2nd in Group F. Though momentum is more important.

I still can't believe playing how they are that this team got to the World Cup over the US!

 

[lancia delta hf]

Can't wait untill there's 48 teams in the World cup. Wonder if my local pub team could keep the score below 5-0!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Fantastic England performance.

COMING HOME STATUS: IT'S

From Opta Joe on Twitter:

25 - There were 25 uninterrupted passes played by England before their 6th goal today; the longest sequence for a World Cup goal since 1966 & one more pass than Esteban Cambiasso's goal for Argentina v Serbia in 2006 (24).

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Two more England stats.

Its the first time that an England player has scored a hat-trick at a World Cup since Gary Linekar in 1986.

Its only the third occasion that England have won their first two group games, they beat France and Czech Republic in 1982 and Paraguay and Trinidad and Tobago in 2006.

 

[PzR Slim]

Switzerland pair Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri face two-match bans for their goal celebrations in their side's World Cup victory over Serbia.

Good. Wonder what Swiss fans think about this.

Can't be from Opta Joe - there's no random word on the end, like "Silky.", or "Connected.", or "Potato.".

I missed it out.....'Fortunate.'

And that the opponent was "Serbia & Montenegro".

Serbia and Montenegro was a national football team until June 28th 2006. They played at the 2006 World Cup as Serbia and Montenegro, getting knocked out in the first round (on June 21st 2006).

Therefore proving my point.

Panama is a joke. That's one of reasons why the Euro is superior to the World Cup for a lot of people. How can The Netherlands, Italy or Bulgaria be out of the world cup and teams like Panama, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, South Korea, etc be in. Man that's frustrating.

No wonder Kane could score 3 goals. This guys from Panama are weaklings.

 

[Dennisch]

How can The Netherlands, Italy be out of the world cup

Watch their last friendly match, you'll know why they're not at this World Cup

 

[Famine]

Ah, you meant he didn't say it and should have, rather than did say it and shouldn't

No wonder Kane could score 3 goals. This guys from Panama are weaklings.

Lukaku couldn't though...

 

[PzR Slim]

Good game this!

Edit: Japan back in it. Exciting finish.
