Promising start for England's World Cup campaign

[flecc]

England 6, Iran 2.

Our goals from Jude Bellingham, Raheem Sterling, Bukayo Saka (2 goals), Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish.

Biggest ever win in any World Cup opening match.

A run of the mill expected score against an inferior team, a bit of sloppy defending gifted two goals for them. That said a quality striker may have scored two more against us.

Sadly the days are gone where the game offers much real interest for me.

What a miserable viewpoint.

Here's a 2016 result against a mainly amateur team from a tiny country:

England 1, Iceland 2

We've improved very considerably since those days. It remains to be seen just how much, but I'm prepared to wait to find out rather then put them down immediately.

Not really like a lot of folk , footy holds very little following from me.

Nor me, I don't follow the league at all. But I still appreciate the skills at the top of the game and like to see my country do well on the international stage.
