The existence of VAR makes it much harder to understand how England didn't get at least one penalty. Maybe the Colombian Wilmar Roldán was refereeing Rugby football in which case that was an excellent tackle on Harry Kane ...... mind you in that case Ashley Young should have got 3 points for his free kick straight over the top of the bar ....

England's last four WC braces:
Kane v Tunisia - 2018 Lineker v Cameroon - 1990 Lineker v Paraguay - 1986 Lineker v Poland - 1986
Incidentally, Harry Kane now has scored 15 goals in 25 appearances for England. The last player to score more in their opening 25 games for England was ..................
Gary Lineker 20.

Although Peter Crouch was ahead of Harry Kane after 24 games, on 14 goals.

Does anyone know the longest runs at a World Cup before a red card or a 0-0? Red card: in 1986, there were no red cards in the first round of group matches. The first red card was in the 16th or 17th match. There's a full list on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIFA_World_Cup_red_cardsAlso, the 1970 world cup had no red cards at all.

Does anyone know the longest runs at a World Cup before a red card or a 0-0? Well the first 5 World Cups didn't have a single 0-0. But in the modern era, the 1994 World Cup didn't get a 0-0 until the 15th game and 2002's first 0-0 was in the 18th game (which saw France eliminated). The 1950 World Cup didn't have a single sending off but it only consisted of 22 matches. 1970 didn't have one either and that was 32 games.

Got a question for someone, which came up in a quiz game I attended lately, as any Referee scored a goal in a World Cup tournament by mistake, we were literally stumped on what answer to put we ended up putting nothing.

2006 1-0 vs Paraguay 2018 2-1 vs Tunisia In a rather cruel coincidence, both of these games saw the losing team's goalkeeper substituted due to injury 5 minutes after conceding an early goal.

Group F: | | | Granqvist (pen) 65 | 1-0 | |
Another VAR penalty decides what was otherwise a rather dull game. Pos | Team | Pld | GD | Pts | 1 | | 1 | +1 | 3 | 2 | | 1 | +1 | 3 | 3 | | 1 | -1 | 0 | 4 | | 1 | -1 | 0 |

Group G: | | | Mertens 47 | 1-0 | | Lukaku 69 | 2-0 | | Lukaku 75 | 3-0 | |
| | | | 0-1 | Kane 11 | Sassi (pen) 35 | 1-1 | | | 1-2 | Kane 90+1 |
England win their opening game at a major tournament for the first time since 2006. They dominated the first half against Tunisia and missed a hatful of chances. The second half was tougher but Harry Kane's stoppage time header have the Three Lions three points. Belgium found Panama tough to break down in the first half but Dries Merten's stunning volley put them ahead with Romelu Lukaku adding two more before the end. Pos | Team | Pld | GD | Pts | 1 | | 1 | +3 | 3 | 2 | | 1 | +1 | 3 | 3 | | 1 | -1 | 0 | 4 | | 1 | -3 | 0 |

Harry Kane is the 55th player to score a tournament goal for England (not counting own goals) and the 41st in the World Cup. He's the first England player to score 2 goals in the same tournament since Steven Gerrard in 2006.

Got a question for someone, which came up in a quiz game I attended lately, as any Referee scored a goal in a World Cup tournament by mistake, we were literally stumped on what answer to put we ended up putting nothing. No, I think that would be something I'd remember, I guess it could have happened at a lower level at a corner where the ball could be kicked, hits the ref and rebounds into the net, but again, not something I've ever seen. And I'm pretty sure, no ref has taken a free kick, or dribbled past players and scored a goal, it wouldn't count would it, unless it was a deflection? I did wonder if he might try and head a winner for Tunisia last night though (when the scores were 1-1)

Carlos Sanchez's red card is the second-quickest in World Cup history. The fastest was in 1986 when Uruguay's Jose Batista was sent off just a minute into the game against Scotland.

There have been some good television audiences overall. Spain v Portugal and Germany v Mexico both got decent figures.
