But he is a player accused of having a bad attitude and that is something I would imagine TM would stay well away from. I still believe come the end of the transfer window we will all be happy with the squad

I reckon Dodgy Big Sam probably made them more money one way or another.

I suppose other players may have had promotion wage increases incorporated into their contracts, but those figures seem a little disjointed. Have a feeling TM will watch today's game with a pint of real ale then head off to Blackburn to announce signing number 2 of the summer.

Germany and Brazil are nothing to be afraid of. My Sunday league team (well I say team it's actually 4 lads saying we should start a team) could pick gaps in that German defence and as for Brazil they have hardly set the tournament on fire yet. A good England win today, and then use the Belgium game to rest players/try others out. 4-1 today. Panama to get a dodgy penalty, Kane with a hat trick and Raheeeeeeem to score.

This has the makings of a wonderful day. Missus and younger 2 children are out in Cyprus visiting my parents, other 3 children are staying at their other grandparents up the road. Sun is shining, my fridge feels like it's chilling those beers to perfection and 3 games of football to enjoy. Come on England make this the Carlsberg of all Sundays.

I live near Norwich and a lot of their supporters are saying that the Rhodes deal is a goer. They are all genuinely excited about it. Tried pointing out that since leaving us his record is terrible, but it doesn't take much to excite a Norfolker.

News just in... ChrisPriceBaldSpot is interested in Olivia Atwood, however numbers were far from right!

Promotion sealed at Carrow Road and Title party at home to Swansea??

Spain don't look like they would cause us too many problems. In fact I would say Belgium and the Mexicans have been the best teams so far.

Ridiculous isn't it. You can add Jason Steele to that list of quality too..

Don't think that number 9 has enough toughness or bite about him for the Championship. As for the number 7 I think he is too old for Tony

It's like deadline day all over again.

Just wet shaved my head, come downstairs and seen Danny Murphy! God I hate myself.

Come on Mo and co throw this group wide open as well. 2-1 Egypt

Adelakun and Chapman on the wings would do me just fine.

Exactly. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come for the rest of the tournament. Disgrace

Hoping for a good Senegal win in this one. Really open up that group and hopefully give us an easier route.

So apparently both of Kane's penalty appeals were viewed by VAR and deemed fair challenges. I blame Theresa May for pi##ing Putin off.

I just think we have given Sterling plenty of chances. Don't get me wrong he was immense for City last season but he ends up missing another 3 or 4 chances against Panama that might cost us, and then his confidence will be shot for the tournament. Start Rashford, see how it is going after an hour then maybe Sterling could be the impact substitute. I think us and Belgium have been the best teams so far. On another night we could have had 5 or 6. Still think Dack could slot in behind Harry perfectly.

Pickford Walker Stones Dier Trippier Henderson Rose Alli Lingard Rashford Kane That would be my starting 11 for the Panama game

I fancy Nigeria as the surprise team of this tournament. Iwobi to be the star man tonight.

Poor man's Dack

Wish I'd visited Bet365 with that predicted result, instead I mowed the lawn. Right Denmark win 2-1 Nigeria win 3-1.

I sense a 1-1 draw in this game. Messi and Sigurdsson

I would take either of the Aussie centre halves next season at Ewood.
