Does Jermaine Jenas have anything of value to say?

No.

I expected a bit more from Iran than that, absolutely awful.
England looking decent, should be putting 6 past them at least 

[Tuna]

Perfect first half for England, 3 up and cruising.

 

Let's see some changes in the second half, can't afford any unnecessary injuries.

 

As for the Iran goalkeeper situation, what a shambles.

In for the Budweiser now, just wait for the second half.

Never has and never will.

Very good half, using the ball well getting forward quick. Some nice finishing and good balls in the box

Sides like Iran and Qatar have no place in a world cup. Both are really poor and probably wouldn't event beat a league 1 team in England. Just shows what a bloated competition it has become.

you think this world cup is bloated wait till you see the next one in 4 years...

Nice to see the return of gratuitous footage of beardy, retro shirt clad fannies chucking pints around to show how much they love football.

England are playing well, against a side trying to contain and slow the game down. Couldn’t ask for more to be honest

Bellingham has been superb, even aside from his goal.

These teams still have to be beaten…

The so called weak nations…have improved their general defence,and filling that room & space…The hammerings are kept to lower scores.The teams like Germany,

England Argentina,will find their way through in the end..Only Occasionally dishing out 5-7  thrashings.

 

Interesting, now can England take it further by actually going for those 5-6 goals.

Let me say 3 great goals…& the moves. Far from boring,but must be more clinical.

 

Important is,we are winning that 1st game..

Harry Maguire …good call from Southgate,and Harry is delivering.

his movement and energy is incredible.

 

Great player to watch. 

[Monk]

Crikey their goalie had a big nose before the game kicked off but that was so clearly a concussion I don’t know why they let the game go on with him on the pitch.

Mount is just a passenger as per

I don't care if it's football or a gig, it's proper weird behaviour throwing pints.

[RoboFox]

Feels like they're going a bit overboard with the praise here. Superb? Exceptional? 

 

I dunno about anyone else, but I saw a decent England performance against a very, very poor Iran side...

He’s a passenger that Southgate trusts though.

Great first half and thanks to the long time added on I manage to get a dose of 'The Archers', what could be better?

exactly. Thought England have been decent, but Iran have been shocking. Nothing I’ve seen o get overly excited about so far.

Harry and his glass ankles again?
