Those of us from small European football nations who have trouble qualifying for the World Cup should be encouraged by results to far. Qualification places are allocated based on performance at previous tournaments, and so far, this has been a great tournament for Europe.
Five European teams have won and only one, reigning champions Germany, have lost. Croatia got the better of Nigeria, one of Africa’s powerhouses, while Denmark and Serbia edged Peru and Costa Rica.
The draws involving European teams are probably more impressive. Iceland matched Argentina while Switzerland drew level with Brazil last night. Mikael Lustig’s Sweden take on South Korea this afternoon, before Dedryck Boyata’s Belgium face Panama. Tunisia will be hoping to take something from England tonight to prevent a fourth consecutive defeat for African nations.

There was a time, maybe 2002, 2006?, when England went into a cup tournament with a bit of humility about them.
I actually supported them then, because it was good to see, and I thought they might be finally growing out of their embedded sense of empirical entitlement.
But it was a blip, sadly.
So feck ‘em.
Earth, Wind and Fire should sue:))

England and humility?….I must have missed that one ,same sense of entitlement as the hun mob.hh
They should still win but…commentators startin to look at excuses….
For me….cant believe Young is in that team..
?-agree,even the halftime talk is positive ,there’s a change in their reporting ?
Temp gettin blamed even tho they said….perfect temp…before the game !!!
Wonderful to hear the brits bitchin and moanin
Now it’s the heat and humidity….try Sevilla mate .
Thank you cqn x
If England get the ball into Kane then he will score. Tunisia cant get out.
England build up is too slow. I expect as its 67 mins then England may have to play their late penalty card.

No, really, I think it was 2006. There was all that ‘let’s reclaim the flag of St George away from the BNP’, and let’s stop behaving like arrogant c***s when we go abroad.
But it lasted about 2 games.
Shame.
I expect England to score again – a deflection off a midge.
I’ve a lot of time for the players in the England time greenbingleyindeoleoslo, but as soon as the commentators open their gobs I want them hammered. I have to say this WC , they’ve been more quiet than normal.
bassa’s trying to copy oor ‘ In the heat of Lisbon’ light show. :O) nae chance

5 mins late!
I really like the people I meet in England. Their media don’t make it easy to support them!
Patronising prigs towards the gallant little countries.

Big lump of a lad though!!

Tunisia have played very well; disrupting the game and taking the sting out of Englands attack.
KTF
Engerland are great at creating chances, even better at feckin them up

You’ve just been lucky to bump into the couple of decent one’s from the 60 million big mhan .hh
SHOITE !
Injury time winner by Kane
Typical striker. Nothing for 80 minutes then pops up again!
KTF
And there it is…..world cup final here we come! lol
Actually England were the better team. Hard luck Tunisia.
Whole defence stood and watched him, FFS get your heads out of your Carthaginian arses…
Eejit defenders switched off there.
Twice they’ve left Kane unmarked at corners. Twice he’s scored.

In Kew I probably sound like a mad Weedgie bassa. Mibbee that’s why they’re nice to me?
????
Headtheball bottom line is that only one team trying to win it. Have been the better teaming deserve to be ahead.
KTF
Shocking goalkeeping
Engurland continue as they did in many of their qualifying games and score in injury time…..unbelievable.
Congratulations to England, kept playing football and snatched a well deserved win at the end.
Just give them the fecking trophy now
Boo hiss boo ???
Fairhill Bhoy: Best wishes to your sister.
