Catching up with the highlights on BBC, and it’s incredible how much Jonathan Pearce despises Germany. When the referee eventually showed Boateng the red card he spluttered “Do your job for goodness sake!” Scary stuff, he should maybe consider seeing a therapist about that.
Panama made the early running here but England broke away to win a corner and go in front. England continued to give the ball away regularly but Panama not really good enough to take advantage. England went two up thanks to a very soft penalty despite the fact there were players inside the box when it was taken. Although Panama cut open the English defence at times they had no-one on the end of the moves and England finished them off with Stones’ second, a fine Lingard strike and another Kane penalty after some wrestling where players from both sides seemed to be at it.
Danny Murphy continually going on about “we”, “us” and “our team” during all this, obviously forgetting what the first B in BBC stands for.
Kane completed perhaps the worst hat-trick in World Cup history with a clearly offside deflection to add to his two soft penalties. Still makes him the best player in the world obviously.
Their dodgy defence though allowed one of the worst ever World Cup teams to score a goal, leaving 37-year-old Baloy totally unmarked. The Belgian game pretty much irrelevant now, but much, much harder tests to come for England.
