Most people here are into it, I gave permission for everyone to go home (or to the pub) to watch it.

All this Concussion thing... the head action etc, are we making too much of this now ? Or did we simply not make enough of it in the past ?

Clearly we'd never ever have images like this now... but that's what British pride and determination meant back in the day ?

Some great goals there. Nice to see them coming from all over, rather than just Kane.

Nice confidence builder there, I’m no expert but is it not a worry that a team like Iran got two goals by them ?

The score flatters really, the opposition were rubbish - obviously there is time for it all to come together . But I doubt Brazil are really that worried.
