Former Celtic striker Tony Watt was among the first to congratulate England for winning the World Cup.
Last night’s 2-1 win over Tunisia will make the television pundits even more unbearable than they have been so far with another win on the cards expected on match-day two against Panama.
Congratulations England ???????????????????????????? winning the World Cup after 1 game ????????????????????????????????????????

Twenty minutes into last night’s match the BBC One commentary team had virtually handed the trophy over but it took an injury time goal from Harry Kane to claim the points.
Two weeks ago the English media were spreading the ‘no expectations’ message but that came to an end the moment that Shearer’s header hit the back of the net.
There will now be a full on frenzy about Gareth Southgate’s squad, particularly in light on Germany, Argentina and Brazil being unable to win their first match.
Fortunately for non England fans the tournament consists of seven matches with Southgate’s side expected to meet Germany or Brazil in the quarter finals by which time both side’s should be in form and capable of handing the English an early exit.
