World Cup Qatar 2022 - Desert Strike

[Nick R]

A THING HAPPENED

[Bucky]

Hendo!

[Fierce Poodle]

Now that was quality. It’s coming home lads.

[feltmonkey]

Bellingham is an absolute superstar, but my God it's daylight robbery that we're ahead.  

 

Brilliant from Henderson as well.

[Loik V credern]

Are Bellingham and Henderson having a secret affair.

 

surprising to see a midfielder running in like that.

[Hamus]

Wow. Long ball from the keeper and we get a good chance.

 

LAUNCH IT EVERY TIME!

[englishbob]

An actual goal kick

[Timmo]

Do you think French forums were full of people saying "if we can't score against Poland then what chance do we have against England?" after 43 minutes earlier?

Yeah, but last five minutes I think Kane and Henderson had switched positions

[Loik V credern]

Bellingham is brilliant, is everywhere. Is he playing and cementing himself in the side if Phillips was available like he was in the Euros?

[Plissken]

That’s about the fifth cheap free kick that Kane has tried to buy and the ref is having none of it.

[Fierce Poodle]

YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS

[Hamus]

Bellingham is immense.

 

Did you see that? Brutalised them.

[Nick R]

Thought the whistle was going to blow halfway through that run up the field.

[Thor]

Solid finish from Kane.

Exactly. Some of the comments in here are nuts. We're playing the best side in Africa and apart from a short spell completely dominating. The only worry was that the Senegal press was very effective in cutting off balls into midfield but they seem to have fixed that pretty much.

[Naysonymous]

Jude Bellingham is just fucking brilliant. 

[feltmonkey]

That it an absolutely fantastic counter-attacking goal.  Amazing from Bellingham.

This aged well... 😂

That’s why we retired his number at Birmingham. 

[Plissken]

Weird how England so cautious and fragile until they go one up and then they look amazing.

I think there was a bit of rope-a-dope going on there, playing it around slowly at the back and inviting the Senegalese to knacker themselves out chasing the ball.

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Senegal don't deserve that scoreline

[Timmo]

Bellingham is fucking unbelievable. What a player. Genuine chance of breaking Neymar's transfer record. He's so complete!

[englishbob]

Bellingham has been solid since the start. He wants a goal.

 

Playing long balls from the goalkeeper up the pitch does actually work, who knew

[englishbob]

The moves up to the Kane goal, taken in isolation, makes us look good

[Jammy]

Glad Kane got a good chance and scored, after great work from Bellingham. His pass to slide Bellingham in for England’s first was nice too.

[Loik V credern]

It's hard to resist running the phrase 'he's a 19 year old who plays like a 27 year old' into the ground.

[Hamus]

Who's going to try a proper reducer on Belly in the next half?

He may need to be taken off to protect him!

I fear Senegal will regret those misses.

Yup
