Who would've thought 5-0! I guess Saudi's goal difference will be minus 16 at the end of the group stage.

No it isn't
Great win for England tonight. Denied a blatant penalty, very cynical defending, but our talisman struck twice .
Win the next and we are in the last 16.
We certainly deserved the win, with penalty decisions going against us at each turn, and the first 20 minutes could have had us 4 or 5 nil up.
But there's the issue, our last touches were poor, and we've no one in the centre of the park to dominate. No Beckham, or Gerrard, for the modern era.
Kane did a passable impression of Linekar from yesteryear, with his killer 5 yard finishes.
Let's hope for a riotous smashing in the next game, before a huge match against the 3rd best team in the world.

4-1 looks very nice
Plus a little more clinical finishing would have boosted that
Needed a stronger referee against their cynical spoiling tactics
Happy with our calmness at the end, expecting rather than hoping
Ps not too sure Beckham ever dominated from centre midfield. Gerrard always played too many 'miracle passes for me. Think this team needs a Paul Ince. Very underrated

Michael Carrick is the most underrated English centre midfielder.

It's called the Superbowl.
Sadly enough the English themselves coined the "Association Football" term, americanized: Soccer...
Congratulation to the English for their win aginst very tough playing Tunisians.
