    That's basically England against any team that isn't average or below. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I really believe Senegal can cause them major trouble and win this game.

    FUN FACT: These two teams have NEVER played each other. Not even in a friendly. So no idea how this will play out. Senegal by and large are a totally different African team to what England have ever played. They don't play like Nigeria or Cameroon or the North Africans.

    The closest to a head to head is the 2012 Olympics with Mane, Gana, Kouyate vs Great Britain. Ended 1:1.

    So far probably first evenly matched game of the 1/8 final.

    England now on the front foot. Senegal a bit disjointed on the ball.

    The first KO match where you could realistically argue an upset.

    Probably a good no call on that PK.

    Honestly reminds me so far of the Holland - USA match, but Senegal playing the role of Holland here...

    England looking pretty blah against a Senegal team that I figured would give it some trouble. This England team has looked overrated to me in this tourney. Let's see how it evolves. If they score 2/3 and end up winning comfortably I'll admit my mistake!

    Should have been yellow for Walker there.

    Strange foul to be fair. Walker didn't actually pull / hold him back as I first imagined.

    Good run from Bellingham opens up the Senegal defense.

    Ha, ha: Not 5 minutes after my post, England with a well-worked attack and a goal! Of course I wasn't the only person not seeing much from England before that goal. It's soccer---one play changes everything.

    Senegal seems to need break to get head space.

    Bellingham is a solid player. Great play from him.
