With Scotland, Japan and now Germany out, I have to decide which team to put my Kiss of Death on now... 💋💀

Come on England! :p

It won't be easy at Aztec, where Mexicans never lost and last night destroyed Ecuador...
 
With defending like that regardless of if England pull it back and win this match it won't be coming home

If our team plays like they played Ecuador last night, you'll have quite a couple things to worry about

But first you have to beat Congo-Kinshasa, and by the look of it, you have to get going now, England down 1-0
 
OMG, should have been 2-0 DR Congo.

The Kane penalty incident was a close one, but to me it genuinely looked like he was already into a dive before any (if any) contact was made. Surprised there was not a VAR review though.

The England defence is just woeful - and meanwhile, DR Congo's defenders and keeper are playing blinders.

-

DR Congo goalie is out of this world - to be fair to England, they could have scored 3 or 4 themselves by now...

Yeah Mexico will be a very tough game, they look good and home advantage in one of the worlds greatest stadiums is massive.

1am kick off UK time as well 😅.
 
Great goal from Kane to snatch a rather undeserved win for England.

They need to start playing much better than that - I can see them squeeze past Mexico, but they won't unless they improve - alot.

I was glad to hear Wayne Rooney's assessment of Kane's 'dive' for the penalty incident - I agree entirely with that, and if Kane hadn't done that, it very likely would have been a penalty - I don't understand why players of that calibre feel the need to play like this to be honest, and it could have been very costly.
 
Yes, perhaps undeserved was a bit harsh... 😅

... unconvincing, on the other hand...
 
So, on Sunday is FH4 vs FH5, Mini vs Vocho (I know, but its Mexican by naturalization), baked beans vs fried beans, both on toast/bread, gin vs tequila, Pastor tacos vs fish & chips, bring it!
 
In real-time that is at worst a yellow for a reckless challenge, and he's not even looking at him. They've tangled legs in the initial contact and both stood on the same piece of turf.

Slowed down and looking just at the feet, VAR's given him a red for a studs-up raking of his calf, ankle, and foot.

And then the US manages to get a goal on the yellow card kick afterwards.

Well that aged like milk 🤣
I did not see that coming.
70th minute, 0-2 down, fighting amongst themself, weird subs by the coach. I thought we're packing our bags.

But when you win you're right, so fair play to Garcia (Belgium's head coach) 🤷‍♂️
You took probably 1 year out of my life though...

Next stop: USA!

Morreira was a discovery for me. I didn't know about him, but his energy is exactly what we need on the field.
