Lilywhite glasses off - should Stones have taken the 2nd Pen? On a hat-trick...

Can't argue with Kane Pens, but I wonder if Stones should have been given a shot at the hat-trick
No as Kane has a chance of the golden boot, and is really good at penalties. Its not a sunday leauge match

Godoy backwards spells Yodog

It's also an anagram of 'goody' but slightly off-topic :cautious:. As everyone knows the place on spurs community to discuss the vagaries of the English language is of course the 'What our opponents are saying about us' thread :whistle:.

Can they do retrospective red cards? That **** who punched Harry in the neck needs showing the door.
They actually can - they can review video and issue punishment at halftime. But, I don't know if they can review a play where the foul was called in the match

Why would anyone care about stones getting a hat-trick? Only argument I could see would be giving Sterling a chance but as others have said this ain’t Sunday league, best at pens takes

Trippier has gone from good player to great player in this tournament so far. Hope he brings it back to Spurs next season. Rio did make a fair point about international football maybe suiting him more but he’s stepped up another level the last couple of games. If he can do it against Belgium (if picked) then that’ll give him even more confidence. Involved in another 3 goals today so far. Long may his form continue.

Dare I say it, we haven’t been that good. Great goal by Jesse but otherwise 4 set pieces.

You’re right. It’s not like England have carved Panama open constantly with scintillating football, or even passed the ball that well. They haven’t, 4 goals were from set pieces and the other one a long ranger.

As much as Shearer and Ferdinand want to wax about the brilliance of England’s performance, it’s been more about the utter ineptitude of Panama. This is like watching Ziare in the seventies or something, it’s been atrocious.

England have just done the basics well, which is all they’ve needed to do.

I can see this degenerating second half. If Panama end up with 11 players I’ll be fucking astounded.

Fitness preservation in 2nd half.
We won't put as much pressure on them due to the heat

Probably not, but they'll run out of steam quicker than us as they're chasing the ball more. Plus their subs are going to be worse than their first eleven. I doubt our changes will make much difference to our team.

I've got a tenner on Harry to score a brace on Skybet. If he gets a hat trick do I lose the brace bet? Does anyone know?

No, you've won the bet.

If Dele was playing I think he’d have the record for nutmegs in a single game.

Ignore this, you don't lose.

I had money on a brace too and it's settled my bet and the cash is waiting for me to withdraw it.

You've won your bet! Go and check!

I've been deliberately picking players to score 2+ rather than odds given for a brace. It really doesn't apply to 90 mins?

If not, congratulations to the op and thanks for helping me lose money in another way!

We should do a sweepstake on how many players Panama will have left at the end of the game.
