Fireworks aswell, it's ridiculous. Hotel staff should've been well vetted

Mexicans know where the team hotel is now anyway, so England players aren't gonna get a wink of sleep before the game

Tried a Maguire and instead skied it

Looks good on TV. The drama©, the emotion! ™ They've been doing it since 2018 World Cup where France would ball on. Could even maybe blame Mourinho for running on at Old Trafford. Austria once gave us an absolutely fantastic LB but apart from that have they ever done anything in football?

Braindead Austrian CB's at the end there, ball dropping on both, neither call for it and a second later the goalie is having to pull off another worldie. Either they give up from the bombardment and let Spain mutilate them or they sort their shit out, pathetic Austrian CB's

...and a tactical foul on specific areas of the pitch after losing possession. Can't think of Pedro Porro as anything other than Argentinian, despite the Spanish kit. Looks, behaves and has a name which suits an Argentinian.

I was firmly on Senegal's side with the Morocco AFCON situation but that was pathetic. Surrounding the ref, feigning injury on the penalty spot, surrounding the ref at will, for about 10 minutes. Try not flying into tackles in your own box unnecessarily.

Those instruments at the start of this Senegalese anthem do not make a very nice noise

Congo looked so vulnerable before the second goal, allowed space. You'd look at playing Rice at RB if James is crocked. Rashford, Madueke and Spence drop for being crap. Kane is a proper striker, knows how to contact a ball so sweet, as soon as he's found space with a sight of goal he's absolutely lethal. Levels above Rooney. On that performance we're out in Mexico. No acclimatisation, Azteca baying for blood, 3 days, 1700 miles, 7000ft altitude.

Messi probably doesn't even know what Walkers is. Walkers is a branch of Lays, Lays is a trunk of PepsiCo. Both teams were absolutely shattered from the heat and travel demands. Baresi had actually missed alot of football in the run up to that final after a knee operation, yet he looked like one of the best players on the pitch. They said it was better to play injured in that final than it was to be tired.

Decent montage of Gyokeres throwing himself to the floor there. Can't blame him tbf, refs keep giving him freekicks for it.

Armadillo great little player. Brazil Norway be interesting.

Norway's national anthem seems to start to the exact tune of Deck the Halls(with Christmas Holly), bar one note right at the end

I actually turned it off when they dropped their 2 goal advantage Great result. Woltemade peno was abysmal. Gutted I have to sleep now and miss Morocco Netherlands.

...and I've turned it off. Gnight, Gesundheit

They're playing in Boston, where the temperature is 26°. Miami is currently 32°. It's the humidity in Miami which will kill teams. If we somehow make it past Mexico City's altitude & home support, that's where we could play Brasil.

24 years after Brasil won their last World Cup in Japan, Japan's number 24 puts them 1-0 in a knockout against Brasil.

Mum asked me why Jeremy Kyle was managing one of the teams.

These are both shite

Y'wot? How's that offside?

Oh no Ronny

Fair play if we go the whole way along that route, have to back yourself I suppose. Big logistical challenges, fitness, altitude, humidity. Senegal no mugs, Mexico in their home stadium most likely, then a grueling semi-final in Miami with no aircon. That's hard, c'mon England

You aren't looking at it logistically. North America & Mexico is humongous, winning the group sees us bouncing all over the place playing in altitude, heat, humidity. Even if we were to make the Final after that gauntlet France or whoever will absolutely pick us to pieces ala. Croatia in the 2018 final who were also knackered. Finishing 2nd is the best route. Yes we have to play big nations but you need to do that if you intend to win a World Cup. If this holds were Toronto and then all USA and air conditioned stadia. Don't listen to ITV Comms. They're full of shit morons who have bookies telling them what to say pmsl.
