[box_of_frogs]

Boom. Break with pace!

It’s so true, I’ll quote myself.

Whurs the xmas good will.

[4:20]

Great to be 2 up at HT

[tiger76]

Bellingham heavily involved in that goal as well, just get him on the ball.

2-0 flatters England in all honesty but England have been clinical with their chances whereas Senegal have wasted 2 great opportunities.

[Claretitus]

Great 2nd goal that. Well played England.

[Croydon Claret]

Fantastic link up play for that goal. I'm prepared to forgive the first 35 minutes

[jos]

Starting to look like Burnley

[Newcastleclaret93]

It’s hard to believe isn’t it

[RVclaret]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen an England midfielder as dominant in duels as Bellingham, but to combine it with that level of composure and awareness at 19 is an absolute joke.

[Woodleyclaret]

Bellingham is no Mpappe but he's doing well today

[box_of_frogs]

Trying to defend for 99 minutes v France might be a challenge. Simply have to attack with pace and outscore them.

[boatshed bill]

Apart from the fact that we are rubbish at "playing out from the back" we are capable of cutting Senegal to pieces.

Awwwwe come on the idiots never shut up about how shoite we are in his eyes

play like we have done so far against France and we will get battered but they aren't great defensively so I agree we have to have a go at them. I'd rather lose 2-0 having a go than 1-0 not doing so

[fidelcastro]

I see the resident racists are out in force tonight.

Thankfully the post had already been reported.

Over to you mods.

Difficult to compare as different positions. Right now I don’t think there’s a better midfielder at the tournament but I think there’s a few forwards on par or better than Mbappe.

Two players in particular are just fantastic.

I think redwasp has a method that can confirm that

Absolutely

I think most people recognise our strengths are all about going forward. I fear Gareth will try to defend though.

He have the talent to outscore anyone

[IanMcL]

Credit to Pitchfork for keeping England in a position where they could break and attack. The 2 goals were very well taken.

[KRBFC]

Now just pass it around, tire them out, no cock ups.

Got to be a better english centre half than maguire , has to be…

After the group stages he was the only England player in the WhoScored team of the tournament so far

There's two at Everton.

Yippee, Saka

[wilks_bfc]

Saka makes it 3

[Bosscat]

Saka Saka Saka

[KRBFC]

Top scorers in the tournament.

[Croydon Claret]

Great move, even better finish

[Bordeauxclaret]

Crazy to think some experts didn’t want Foden in this team.

[expoultryboy]

Foden's been involved with all three

[RVclaret]

Absolutely love watching Phil Foden, he’s a delight.

[tiger76]

Saka finishes it off, another cracking goal assisted by Foden.

Bring on the French.

[Vegas Claret]

another cracking goal

[Tricky Trevor]

Another super goal.
After my early comment about Foden it’s good to see how he has adapted. Getting into plenty of space to receive the ball and, apart from the last goal, moving it on before they make contact with him. Well played lad.

[Vegas Claret]

at what point do you take Walker, Bellingham and Foden off ?

[expoultryboy]

Time for changes

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Southgate clearly wasn't messing about for this game, good set up and tactics etc.

[4:20]

We're so deadly going forward when at our best

[fidelcastro]

at what point do you take Walker, Bellingham and Foden off ?

With the current scoreline, any time you like!

[jos]

The fact that the Senegal strip is green, you can’t be truly sure that their are only 11 on the pitch

It was well worked but the Senegal defender was poor not going into tackle Saka with his right foot.

[tiger76]

Foden & Saka off for Grealish and Rashford.

[expoultryboy]

It makes a change to be sat nice and relaxed watching England with 25 minutes to go .

[fidelcastro]

Foden & Saka off for Grealish and Rashford.

We know. We're all watching.

[beddie]

I expect at least two more from us.
