I think Mexico would beat England tbf ?

Poland will do it first. 3 knock out wins across euros and world cup in the 28 years since Italia 90.

The German team looked really slow. Mental that Sané didn't get the nod.

Still you would prefer to play them over Germany despite what happened today

Well what a game. Germany were a shambles defensively. Cannot believe how many chances Mexico wasted.

 

Fantastic result.

The panel has just said the same on the tele. 

I don’t think they’ve got a proper striker have they? Muller can play CF but is better playing off a striker. And Gomez is about 110.

They did look ponderous for sure.

Low unfortunately has fallen victim to his own success, really poor selections and bizarre decisions. Still better than shitland mind.

It is embarrassing but at the same time bar Iceland the rest have been against top quality opposition and a lot of loses on penalties. Stats say one thing but it isn’t as bad as what people make out

Oh, the salty tears from Germany fans...

If Southgate doesn’t, then I would be quite shocked given what Vardy does to the top 6 in the PL. I think he will certainly use him

I'll be surprised if he's used as anything other than a late sub. I hope I'm wrong and he starts against the bigger nations but I'm not gonna hold my breathe

Blow for Germany - 2nd place might mean a meeting with Brazil in the 2nd round.

 

Impressive from Mexico.

[Jon the Hat]

Germany Brazil in the last 16 would be great.

Go on Mexico! What a win! Delighted for them. That was Leicester-esque.

 

Fvck it. Lexico winning this tournament.

 

They are our football rivals and usually our betters.  So not easy to get behind them ... until you see a game like that (and factor in Trump's wall).

 

Changing my avatar for as long as they stay in.  ¡ Vamos México !

Franz Beckenbauer, Angela Merkel, Boris Becker, Otto von Bismark, Immanuel Kant, Kraftwerk, Martin Luther, Johann Sebastian Bach, Henning Wehn; your boys took a hell of a beating!

Yes defo, but I would be utterly utterly amazed to make the semi finals, no matter who we play in the Qfinal England will bottle it

[NewEnglandFox]

I caught most of the 2nd half. Great win for Mexico.
