An England team in perfect harmony against Panama

England 6 Panama 1

A 6-1 victory over Panama, who were woeful, is not enough on its own to suggest the perennial over-promisers and under-achievers are about to break the mould; but the bigger picture does look positive for Gareth Southgate’s side having reached the last 16 in Russia with a game to spare.

This was the performance of a team totally confident in the way it plays, made of up players who are totally at home with each other both on and off the field.
