What's Not To Dislike? England v Panama

[Satchmo Distel]

England against arguably the second worst team in the tournament. Drama unlikely apart from issuing of yellow and cards?

[Ray de Galles]

Ooh, can we edit thread titles now?

[Sean of the Shed]

Yes, thankfully.

[Satchmo Distel]

Yes, hit "go advanced"

[Ray de Galles]

Ah good, thanks.

[Satchmo Distel]

Yes, thankfully.

My first choice was even worse: canal hammering. Sanity prevailed in the end.

That's a great title.

[Bored Of Education]

It is.

Perhaps "Potential hat-trick?"

[Sean of the Shed]

Torres Canal Hammering.

[Nefertiti2]

A man. A plan. A canal. Panama. (and Gareth Southgate.)

[Jah Womble]

That's a great title.

'Great' is a slight overstatement, perhaps.

I'm going to the cricket at Old Trafford. Double England. My chest is swelling with weird pride already.

[Ray de Galles]

Watching England whitewash Australia in cricket live while they hammer Panama on TV (in Manchester!) would be pretty high up any list of potential sporting hells for me.

[EIM]

Thankfully we're not in the Foster's Party Stand, so it's not all bad.

It’s still cricket.

[Duncan Gardner]

Rarely troubled a NI u-21/ u-41 seleccion in recent friendly. They are much weaker than Korea and C/ Rica

[Patrick Thistle]

Actually watching the build up to this. I like the training tops that are reminiscent of the early 80s shirts I don't remember because we were living abroad and didn't have a TV

[SouthdownRebel]

Glad they've stayed with Sterling for this one. Some of the media clearly want him dropped, and not all for footballing reasons.

If the cricket team get a wriggle on, that match could be done by half-time of the Football. Australia seem like they would rather be in front telly...

@kitcrimes reckons this is the first time England have worn white shirts, blue shorts and white socks at the WC since the Portugal game in 2006.

I'm in a bar in Beijing filled with Aussies (the state of the origin n just this minute finished) and English people. They (the English ones) just sang the national anthem. I suddenly became less enthusiastic about England

[Patrick Thistle]

Lingard got an elbow in the face there

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

why was that a free kick to panama? How is that not a penalty and a red card?

Of course other nations supporters never sing their national anthem, only England fans.
