Hello everybody.

Welcome to another special live stream on the football ramble.

It's England versus Panama later tonight.

10pm British summertime.

And England are already through to the knockouts, but they'll want to win the group. Jim Campbell joins me. Hello. Jim, England need to win the group, don't they? They do? Yes. But it's England Day. It is England Day. So what better time for them to do that? Yes, indeed. An England win would mean they can only fail to top the group

if Ghana also win and better England's goal difference.

So hopefully Croatia won't be generous, but Panama will be.

Yeah.

I'm a bit concerned is actually not even remotely the word I'm looking for.

I don't necessarily think we're going to

batter Panama as a lot of people seem to think we're going to because they've lost their previous

two games in this group 1-0 each time. So they're obviously going to be a little bit of a

lock to unpick, I think. And I think we might have had all of our fun in the second half of that opening game.

That's the worry.

Once again, we've fallen into the trap of thinking, this is good.

So it will always be good all the way until the final.

Yes.

Yeah, I hope that we can have nice things.

Yeah, I agree.

As England fans, we have, you know, previous tournaments we've enjoyed going deep into those tournaments.

But I think that Garner game was a crashing down to reality. Although, I don't think it was as bad as we think. I think after that second half against Croatia, we were pumped, weren't we? Sure. And then Garner, we wanted to, you know, free flow and attacking football. But Carl's Keros and his Garnay and men were very, very effective. They set up to not allow it, didn't they? And they did a really, really good job of that. They shut England down in every department in a way that a team who have to win something simply won't. You know, unless they play a high risk game of doing that and trying to score the occasional raid, it's very unlikely that we'll see that happen again. As I'm saying this, I'm talking myself into the idea that, no, everyone's going to do this now because you've seen you can get some joy. But I still don't think that anyone else will set up against us like that. And you would hope, Panama, hoping to at least have something to take home from this will be a little bit more adventurous

and that we can exploit that. Yeah, well, Panama, they're out, but they've never picked up a point or even three at a World Cup. So they have a chance to make history, of course. Straight away on the comments. And do get your comments in about all the things we're talking about. Give us some questions uh whatever you fancy and carbs has said any advice on how to stay awake till full time
