I have fairly low expectations for an England win tonight/tomorrow but I consider Tt a lucky manager, so I live in hope.
My big decision of the day is do I need an afternoon nap!
Anyway, Come on England.

No need, Tom. TT's tactics will put you to sleep during the game.

So chuffed and so tired. Lots of good performances but the work rate was amazing.
Come on England.

I had watched a couple of the previous Mexico games - including the opener versus SA, who had two men sent off, and had not been overly impressed. On the other hand, England had not exactly shone v Ghana or the DRC, and had only done so in the second half v Croatia. So, with all the media chatter about altitude and home crowd advantage for Mexico, I thought England should definitely have far greater strength on the field and off the bench, plus firepower up front - Mexico pretty (over-?)reliant on Fulham's ageing Gimenez up front, albeit he is still a good striker.
When we went 2-0 up, I foolishly thought we could blow them away before half time. As it is, the, to me, soft penalty against Kane, then the sending off, did send my anxiety level upwards!
Bellingham superb.

JBS, I agree about Bellingham. Top class. I know Cole didn't have a great season, but I still think it was a mistake not taking him. Like Bellingham and Kane, he is a game changer, which will be needed when the opposition gets tougher.
Looks like Carlo has run out of steam. Brazil have been poor all tournament. It always amazes me that whatever the weather, Carlo wears a suit, tie and a woollen waistcoat.

Tom, it was a brilliant game and a great watch, Bill, how did you fall asleep during the game? it was very exciting.
Is it finally coming home? ENG--ER--LAND, get in.
