Piers Morgan v Gary Lineker’s post-match bust-up is at least as entertaining as England’s second half against Tunisia

As the dust settles on England’s opening 2-1 victory against Tunisia in the World Cup, we can probably all agree it was the right result but the wrong performance, certainly in the second half.

We say ‘probably’ because here’s how Piers Morgan and Gary Lineker took issue with each other’s take on the game on Twitter.

MY ENGLAND VERDICT:
Very sharp 1st half.
Very poor 2nd Half.
Brilliant finishing by Kane.
Horrific finishing by everyone else (especially Mr Lingard).
Tunisia will win 2020 Olympics wrestling gold.
Trippier 👍
VAR only works if they use the bloody thing.
Job done. Move on. pic.twitter.com/2LA0rU5XLU

Never ceases to amaze me how easy some folk think World Cup football is. Have you watched all the so called big teams? It ain’t that easy, especially against tough defensive opposition. I suppose those that are so critical haven’t been there, though. Night all.

At the risk of having an opinion, football’s all about opinions, isn’t it? Last word to this guy.
