Massive congratulations to England for that performance. Apparently, there's no such thing as a 50/50 challenge any more, but irrespective they persevered.

England got their team selection, tactics and game management spot on, plus stellar performances from Bellingham, Gordon and Pickford. I bet that's upset a few as another host nation are despatched. Well played England.

Yep, they did very well and proved a lot of people wrong. I didn't see them winning that, so credit where it's due. Norway are decent, but beatable too. A bit like England, a threat going forward, but can look shaky at the back.

It's a great honor to be playing England in the World Cup. Norway is ready.

Norway are beatable, only one problem though: a big centre forward.

Norway are beatable and we have a big centre forward too! Like back in 1966, England are improving at the same stage of the competition. It was an incredible win in Mexico, despite the heat, humidity and red card.

Big shout out to Raul. He played the full 90 minutes at 35 years of age in those testing conditions. Nerveless penalty-taker. How we missed him. He will be a tremendous asset in the Championship.

Raul will only be an asset if the club does the right thing by him & get the players in who can help him. Same goes for Trippier. Soon we'll be moving into the 2nd week of July, & all I see is interested & looking at. I don't believe we're looking at any World Cup players, especially after next weekend when the lesser players have gone home.

Need keeper, rb, 2 midfielders min & another forward who gets goals. & if it's correct as to how the new gaffer wants to play, we'll need 2 wingers. Clock is ticking, Wolves, so get busy.

Raul did it in those conditions in Mexico City, but can he do it on a cold rainy Tuesday in Stoke?

I jest, of course. After all he's been through, it was a pleasure to watch him in this World Cup, and it's wonderful to have him back at Wolves.

Don't know how wet the Championship games will be, AcleWolf, but there'll be plenty of players wetting themselves now they've seen Jimenez play!
He's coming home. ?? ?

Hear, hear Long. Tuchel is quietly getting on with it. Doing an excellent job.
Feeling it could just happen!
ps
Commiserations to Raul..but delighted he is looking so good!
