Both Tunisia and Panama are looking to get their first win of the World Cup following two group defeats.

Tunisia had a better game against England than against Belgium. The North African side managed two goals during their 5-2 loss to Belgium and also a goal against England during the group stage opener thanks to Ferjani Sassi’s penalty.

Panama are coming into this game on the back of a heavy defeat at the hands of England. Panama scored their first ever World Cup goal in that game, which came when Felipe Baloy following Ricardo Ávila’s free kick into the penalty area.

Loftus-Cheek gets into come space on the right of the box but his ball into the box is very poor, much like England have been all night

89 mins: ENGLAND  0 - 1 BELGIUM

Good save from Pickford, Tielemans sets up Mertens who strikes it through the defence. Pickford almost dives past it but he manages to gets his hands there and bat it away

90 mins: ENGLAND 0 - 1 BELGIUM

Scrappy at the back from England Batshuayi beats Cahill on the right hand side byline and the ball comes into the area where a cluster of bodies try to clear it, Belgium come back on the counter now and Fellaini's in space but his shot hits the side netting

FULL TIME: ENGLAND 1 - 0 BELGIUM

Shocking from England, they finish second in Group G and Belgium deserve the victory and deserve to top the table

FULL TIME: PANAMA 1 - 2 TUNISIA

If you tuned into the England game and were bitterly disappointed in the performance then you missed a treat in Saransk, Tunisia coming from a goal behind to overcome Panama 

Michael Jones28 June 2018 20:56

Gareth Southgate says he had double objectives on the night, Vardy and Rashford kept plugging on but the main goal was to keep his main XI reserved for the knockout stages

Michael Jones28 June 2018 20:59

Some good points from Gary Neville, Colombia and Sweden/Switzerland is the route now to the semi-final for England 

It all comes down to Colombia on Tuesday now, a win for England will see Southgate praised a loss there and the sharks could come circling
