England showed real grit.

It was a game in which everything was stacked against them. A massive and hostile crowd, an on form Mexico team, heat, altitude a red card. It was the correct call btw but I thought that the penalty was very harsh.

It wasn't pretty but it would have been very easy to crumble so the players can be proud of that win.

I don't think we will win the World Cup because I think Spain better and the French attack is in a different level. The England team just isn't strong enough defensively.

We live to fight another day though.

I won't lie, I was hoping for a Mexico win, but it is a refreshing change to hear an English man be humble and realistic.
I think this world cup has shown that going into a game as favourites means very little. England have a better chance now than when the world cup started.
That being said, I will be identifying as a Norwegian for the foreseeable future.

@Mindfulness I don't know if we have met, but that is a VERY Scottish response.

We have chatted before, when Burnley were promoted to the Premier League.
I'm a Man Utd supporter, and despite promising signs last season, I'm no more confident in the team challenging for honours than I was back then. 🤣

@Mindfulness I have been away a while, so I apologise for calling you the wrong sort of celtic hater! 🤣

Bellamy was Burnley's assistant manager and now Wales coach. I would take him back to be no. 1 here tbh.

It was an amazing game. I really thought Mexico was going to win.

To top it off, mobs were trying to keep the England team awake, by rioting near their hotel.

@Northwest @Northwest Thank you.

Yeah, Mexico had home advantage and a half. They are not one of the best teams in the world, but I think Mexico at the Azteca is one of the toughest fixtures you can have in this WC. To come through that in those circumstances is an achievement.
