Bellingham 'has had a bit between his teeth'
FT: Panama 0-2 England
England
England captain Harry Kane speaking to BBC Sport about Jude Bellingham's performance: "Today, you saw him in the deeper role. Jude is a player who is very versatile. Today, he was running from deep, not just with the ball but without the ball, and we worked off each other. Morgan was one causing problems.
"The way Jude works defensively, the tackles he puts in, the work he gets through, that's where he thrives, when he is free to attack the game. He has had a bit between his teeth throughout the whole campaign since we met up in Florida to perform at the highest level and so far he is."
'You never want your best performances in the group stage'
FT: Panama 0-2 England
England
England winger Marcus Rashford, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live: "Job done. Now it's just about recovery and try to go again. We expect to be in this position. We work all season together to be here, so we're happy we managed to get the job done and this little chapter is done now and we can move on and keep improving because I think we're doing well, but we have so much to improve on and so much we're capable of doing. For me, it's the perfect position to be in as a team and we're ready to kick on and do more.
"It was always going to be a tough group. There are physical teams in the last two games we played and Croatia's you can't give them a minute on the ball because the quality of their passing is so high, so different games but equally as tough but it doesn't matter, we have to do whatever the game requires to try to win and we managed to do that today.
"I don't think anyone's playing at their peak level that we've seen them play at during the season but it's a good problem to have because as individuals, as a team, we have strides to take and you never want your best performances to be in the group stage anyway and we want to kick on and grow and go full throttle against teams and try to punish them at every opportunity."
'All questions for Tuchel are for tomorrow'
FT: Panama 0-2 England
Alan Shearer

On Thomas Tuchel's full-back decisions:
We're yet to see whether he will regret those decisions. we will only know that when we go in against better opposition. All of a sudden he loses Tino Livramento, he loses Reece James and then Jarell Quansah who he brought in at right back. Now he's had to bring Djed Spence on. He still has options there, he can play Spence, he can play Konsa in that right back position and bring John Stones in at centre back. But my concern would be for John, if he hasn't played the last two games, is he carrying an injury too?
But those are all questions for tomorrow. Tonight they have won the group, they have won the game and hopefully they will take a bit of belief and confidence from that going forward.
'A proud feeling'
FT: Panama 0-2 England
England
England captain Harry Kane speaking to BBC Sport about becoming the country's outright all-time leading World Cup goalscorer: "It is a proud one for sure. I spoke before the tournament about the World Cup being the biggest competition we play as professional footballers, so to get to 11 goals is a proud feeling.
"It is always hard to take in. I just want to enjoy this moment with the team, enjoy being top of the table. I never take these moments for granted. Another good milestone to hit and I hope it is not the last one in this tournament."
'Kane is taking goalscoring to different levels'

Alan Shearer

On Harry Kane after he became England's leading scorer at World Cups:
Just incredible. He's a staggering goalscorer. The standards that he's set and the standards he hits week in, week out, he's just incredible and deserves everything.
He's not going anywhere. He's coming into this tournament of the back of 61 goals for his club which is just staggering. When I first started in the late 80s, early 90s, if you got 20 a season that was impressive. These guys now, and Harry is one of them, are taking goalscoring to different levels. He's an incredible professional and deserves it all.
'75% really good, 25% we can still improve'
FT: Panama 0-2 England
England
England captain Harry Kane speaking to BBC Sport: "Solid performance. I'd say 75% really good but there is still 25% we can improve on for sure but all in all another good win. A clean sheet playing against a tricky side, they had some dangerous players, and they like to play around the corners. First half, especially, I felt that the ball kept falling to them in certain situations and it was hard to get a rhythm and maybe lacked quality in the final third. In the second half, we were better, more dominant. We controlled their transitions better, which allowed us to put pressure on and I felt like the goal was coming. To get two pretty quickly was a good feeling.
On frustrations during the game: "It was one of them. I felt like I was getting into good posistions but the ball wasn't quite falling for me and they defended well, defended the box well, similar to the last game. I was making good movements but it kept avoiding me.
"I had a good chance before where Jude slid me in and the keeper made a good save. As a striker, you are itching to get chances and Jude had a lovely bit of play on the left and hung a ball up perfectly for me to attack and it was nice to see it go in."
'Tuchel's losing players quicker than he can find answers'
FT: Panama 0-2 England
Paul Robinson
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
On Thomas Tuchel's reaction post-match:
Grumpy. He wasn't happy. I think he came across how you would expect him to come across but there were times in that game where you look at the TV monitors we have in front of us and you see his reaction and there were times in that game where he was clearly frustrated, particularly that offside goal for Panama.
He doesn't hide disappointment very well. I don't think he did in that interview and when you listen to him you can tell he's frustrated.
It's still a work in progress. There's players there that he's lost through injury. He's not quite got to where he wants to get to and he's losing players quicker than he can find answers.
'We achieved the first job'
FT: Panama 0-2 England
England
England goalscorer Jude Bellingham, talking to ITV Sport, said: "First job achieved. We came here to do it in sections and we got through the pre-games well and we achieved the first job - we got through the group and won it.
"We know what level we are at and what we want to achieve and we did in the second half. Every day we have to try to improve and it's up to us to do that."
On Harry Kane becoming England's record goalscorer at World Cups: "He continues to raise his level and it is incredible. It's everything he deserves. You see the effort he puts in as captain and how he leads us. His quality speaks for itself, he is the best."
'Bellingham, Kane and Anderson England's positives today'
FT: Panama 0-2 England
Alan Shearer
Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live
If it is going to be DR Congo then I guess they're going to play the same as Ghana and Panama have today where it will be defensive and they will try and hit England on the break and that's when you're more reliant on players producing that piece of magic to get you out of a tricky spot.
The positives today have been without a doubt Kane getting his goal. Bellingham getting his goal and assist. I thought Elliot Anderson in midfield was superb.
I thought Marc Guehi used his pace at times to great effect when England were in one or two spots of bother. And that will be what they have to work on because the further they go, if they give the chances they have today then they will be punished.
