Watching it was just marginally less uncomfortable than chewing aluminium foil whilst rubbing ones head with a cheese grater....

Sterling proved once again that unless he's surrounded by stars he's nothing more than a mediocre to good forward.

Young demonstrated his ability to be a thug.

Pickford was very good in goal...much better than Joe Hart...

Overall I'd give England a 6.5 out of ten for their performance today.

They won, but if they really were a strong team the result against Tunisia should have been at least 3-0.

They got three points but they have a long way to go.

Belgium and Panama are much stronger foes than Tunisia.

Next match should see Rashford start instead of Sterling and surely theres a more creative player on the squad than Young..
