England fans went through the classic England football emotions during their World Cup opener against Tunisia – a game that had it all.

Following a brilliant start that had us dreaming of World Cup glory, there was penalty outrage, VAR controversy, a frustrating second half and a glorious late goal from Harry Kane. It means that victory against Panama on Sunday, June 24 would guarantee progression to the knockout stages if Belgium beat Tunisia in Saturday's 1pm match.
