Carragher: Rashford should replace Sterling for Panama game

This electric video was shot inside the O2 Academy on Cookridge Street in Leeds, where nearly 1400 packed in to cheer on Gareth Southgate's troops to a 2-1 over Tunisia on Monday night.

Monday evening's game in Volgograd, which was decided by captain Harry Kane's injury-time header, had a 69.2 percent audience share at its peak, beating last month's royal wedding.

At a time when big guns like Germany and Brazil have already dropped points at the tournament, it was pleasing to see England get off to winning ways against the top-ranked African nation.

"You can see he wants me and the team to do well".

'Ronaldo is the best in the world, up there with Messi, but the challenge is there to be with them. "He wants me and the whole team to do well". Having watched Cristiano Ronaldo score a hat-trick for Portugal against Spain, Harry Kane made some bullish remarks about a potential Golden Boot race between himself and the current Ballon d'Or holder.

While some United States fans seemed happy with the idea of supporting England, others clearly weren't convinced by Corden's game plan.

"That's always an aspect but I don't think that's happening in this group", Rashford said. "Poch texted me and after the game as well - he sent a lot of love hearts and said: 'Come on England!'" he said. England had nearly paid a heavy price for missing a slew of first-half chances when Tunisia's Ferjani Sassi slotted home a softly-awarded penalty 20 minutes before half-time.

The video assistant referee system, making its debut at the World Cup, was perplexingly not brought into play to clear up the Kane incidents.

With 15 goals in 25 appearances - including a record of 10 in 10 during Gareth Southgate's managerial reign - the Tottenham forward is out on his own as England's danger man in Russian Federation.

But Sky Sports pundit Merson, who represented England at the 1998 World Cup, says Kane's all-round play was not good enough and needs to improve if England are to go far in the tournament.

"To be the best player in the world, you have to aim that high".

England face Belgium in their final group game on June 28. "They kept going, kept going to the last second".
