The Football.....

[Accy cyclist]

England v Costa Rica, Florida, delayed one hour, France v Iraq, Pholadelphia, delayed two hours. Maybe FIFA should've thought about the unpredictable weather in America in the summer when granting them participation in a second World Cup?

No mention of our 'glorious' win!🤷 Instead just petty nitpicking. 🥱 😏

🥱 No mention of our win tonight!🤷 Instead just petty nitpicking.😏

Sorry? You question Mexico's participation based on a rain delay and I point out you should also question US participation. It isn't nit picking, just fact.

Yes, England won. I saw bits of it, I'm not in a position to talk about the 15 - 20 minutes I half watched towards the end. Any thoughts I have don't have much relevance.

Absolutely cracking game and performance in two parts, pre and post sending off!
Bring on the vikings!

Does anyone play right back? Asking for a friend!

Not Jordan Henderson; a victim of the commercialisation of the game.

Only watched the highlights and heard R5 this morning, but it soulds like it was a cracking match.
Well done England to hold on for a memorable win.

An outstandingly entertaining game of football.

At 3-2, down to 10 men, at altitude with a good chunk of the game to go, I had it as advantage Mexico but England held their defensive line well. Bellingham looked like he could barely breathe by injury time.

Obviously, we need to see if Claudia Sheinbaumb ratifies the result.

I wonder if all the England fans who love to criticise Bellingham are having a think after all his performances in the WC so far. It's funny, not many mentions of Cole Palmer and Phil Foden on the BBC comments section today 😂

The grief Bellingham gets is unreal.

I'm pretty sure Quansah's red card ban will be suspended by Fifa, that seems to be the trend, it can't possibly be Infantino & Trump in cahoots can it?

Apparently Belgium are appealing against the suspended ban so who knows. Seems ridiculous to even have that option mid tournament if the red card stands

I've just read about the Henderson incident. Ridiculous way to lose a player. Good reference, Malcolm 👍

Ian Wright has spoken at length about this and why he feels that is. I can't post on here as it will get taken down for being political, but I can't disagree with anything he says.
