First news of England fans arrests, with one apparently trying to snatch a gun from a Russian policeman. Great idea mate.
Rio Ferdinand parroting the familiar line about how well the players are getting on with press, along with yet more footage of them bowling and playing darts, conveniently forgetting about the treatment Raheem Sterling has been getting. And just wait until they have a poor result and see what happens. BBC getting the excuses in early with midges attacking the English players. But not the Tunisians presumably.
I’m sure I wasn’t the only to mute the anthem for this one - why can’t England get their own one?
England with an early chance thanks to the worst piece of defending in the tournament so far but they couldn’t take advantage. More poor marking allowed Stones to head and Kane to net the rebound despite a great save. The ‘keeper then had to go off as everything seemed to be going England’s way.
Equally bad English defending gave Tunisia a chance as the sides began to look more evenly matched and the limited Kyle Walker conceded a penalty under no real pressure. England then resorted to the familiar tactic of diving to win free-kicks but more dreadful play meant they couldn’t capitalise, Lingard’s prod off the post the closest they came.
Shearer had the audacity to describe the penalty as soft on the basis the Tunisian attacker wasn’t getting the ball, which is completely irrelevant, as is the fact Kane should have had one as well.
The second half was quite frankly dreadful, two very limited sides huffing and puffing to no effect. One of them grabbed a scrappy late winner, but neither are going far in this tournament.
