Have to love the difference between BBC and Rte coverage.

BBC : Harry Kane wankfest

Rte: actually previewing the game

Shock horror the national team of the national broadcaster getting added coverage and speaking about their captain Confused

Some of the sh*t you write about England is embarrassing.

Do we go on about how great our team is on every broadcast? (I know we're sh*te but you know what I mean) I don't actually know because I've never watched Rte coverage for our tournaments as I am actually there.

My main point is BBC paper over the cracks only showing the good parts. I know they deserved to win the other night but they got lucky. BBC went on like they were Brazil while Rte actually showed how bad they were and how if Tunisia were a better side they would most likely have punished England

“They deserved to win the other night, but got lucky”

The same Tunisia side who had one shot on target all game?

England were robbed blind and missed 3/4 sitters on top of that.

You’ve talked complete bullsh*t, sorry but it’s the truth.

The Hungary 10 - El Salvador 1 record win from 1982 could be under threat here.

These clowns might just be the worst team to ever appear in the world cup finals and that includes those lads in the 70's who didn't seem to understand the rules.

Of course they are. But perspective is important. This Panama team is probably the worst team at the tournament.

They're really only there because the USA f***ed up their last qualifier and the goal that got Panama there didn't even cross the line. Presuming (for now) USA had qualified and were in the same seeding pot, they would surely have given a half-decent game.

The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!!

Panama are just a bunch of sh*thouses who are too sh*t to play football so they purposely hurt the opposition instead.

The CONCACAF quality must be really poor.

England could really go for a big win but I suspect they will take the foot off the gas now.

I don't know if it was mentioned on other stations. At the HT whistle, Panama outfield players meeting in centre circle and joined by subs. Panama coach Hernan Gomez stood near his dug-out and waited for the team to come in after about 90 secs.

I was very impressed by that young USA team that played us last month. I think the USA not qualifying has been a catalyst for them bringing in more young players the last year. Can't see them messing up qualification again and they would certainly have given England more of a game than this shower of sh*te.

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Extra goals for England would go a long way, given the goal difference issue. One more goal drags level with Belgium on goals scored, and an extra one puts them ahead. A 0-0 against Belgium will have them top a group, which will have them play somebody in the erratic Group H.

I actually think England deserve credit for this result. Given what they needed to do from a goal difference perspective, they could hardly have done more. Kane has also put himself very much in the frame for the golden boot. If you dont win a game like that well, you come under fire. If you win a game like that well it can be discounted. England should be proud of this, notwithstanding the opposition, who I actually think have slightly redeemed themselves in the second half.
