Here we go again. Tunisia lose a group game and some of them break down in tears, and they weren’t the only ones. Pathetic.
Nice to see Wngland creating so many chances, Jesse had an off day on front of goal and I thought Sterling was his usual frustrating self. Rashford looked bouncy when he came on as did Loftus Cheek, nice start from a young team.
However, how does Maguire get to play for England? Astounding.

Sorry but I've always rated Maguire - is better than our English centre backs and is not scared of bringing the ball out of defence. Dare I say like a young Alan Hansen😆😆.

I thought Jesse was the standout player in the first half and it is only because he didn't score that others will overlook how well he played. With regard to Maguire I think he had a solid match. He was obviously very nervous and don't forget he doesn't play olfor a big club like Utd so he will not have encountered the expectation that brings on a regular basis. I thought he was generally quite composed and I liked the way he tried to come out of defence with the ball thus making a Tunisian player have to approach him freeing up one of our midfielders.

Maguire is a mistake waiting to happen, slow and poor positionally a decent side will single him out just like the Germans did with Jagielka.

I like his heart and he can bring the ball forward but call me old fashioned, I like my defenders to know how to defend. I think he’s careless with the ball.

How did the Kane being wrestled thing go to var and then the var ref says no foul I'd love to see the var ref try to justify it . Henderson had a good game and Jesse's runs were great but his finishing wasn't so good.

That 3 at the back are all good ball players agreed they are a little nervous at times but far from accidents waiting to happen. They open teams up with those forward charges it really is refreshing to see i only wish United did the same 😆😆.

Totally agree, Tony. Maguire looks great striding out of defence, but some of his slack passing at the back would have been punished by better teams. I think England did ok. Should have wrapped it up by half-time, and Tunisia got what they deserved for playing for a draw after they scored, and trying to frustrate England with a lot of calculated, niggly fouls. Deserved win.
