World Cup 2018: England 6-1 Panama

It’s the kind of result where one of the scores needs to be spelled out or repeated, just to clarify. Six, yes six one. Five of which were scored in the first half. All of which added up to England’s biggest win in a World Cup tournament. In that first half, every attach threatened goal.

A pair of pens from Kane were dispatched with very non-English aplomb. Hard, fast and humanly unreachable. Lingard had the pick of the goals, Kane’s third an exercise in good fortune. Stones weighed in with his first goal for England, and then his second soon after.

Quite an amazing result. There was even something for the Panama (and Russian) fans to cheer. England make the Round of 16 as the armchair expected. But, on this form, they look capable of going further than the Armchair has predicted…

The Armchair Predicted:
England 2-0 Panama

20 and 10
