World cup 2026

Mexico really did not threaten much in those extra 11 minutes, I thought they looked a bit knackered despite their home advantage and extra man.

And the altitude did not seem to bother the England players, also Tuchel got the subs right.

The ref did ok too, I wouldnt have given that pen against Kane it was purely accidental but all things considered he kept the lid on things.

A morning to remember!

😎
 
was a brilliant game to watch for England fans (and some neutrals by their own accounts). A proper high stakes dramatic knockout tie - everything you want from a World Cup game. I was shaky by the end of the match such was the emotional rollercoaster.

I'm even warming to Bellingham. Didn't like his spoilt teenager attitude of the past, however how he spoke post match and watching him soaking up the atmosphere and clapping the Mexico fans made me see him differently.

Also the best game I've ever seen Gordon play.
 
The Balogun 'royal pardon' is so way out of order that I can't believe it's real.

How do FIFA ever have any credibility going forward? Trump has over stepped badly on this one.

I get that there is a financial and political advantage to the USA going deep into the competition, but this blasts the integrity of football apart.

As an aside, I wouldn't mind signing Balogun. He looks half decent.

It's not unprecedented. It happened due to Ronaldo having a tantrum before. Was it the Euros or qualification - can't remember?

it is unprecedented during the World Cup where there is no appeal process.

The Ronaldo one is slightly different - his red card ban was reduced from 3 matches to 1 - he still served a suspension. It was also in a WC qualifier, so not during the WC itself.

It made him available for the world Cup - or he would have been suspended for the first two games. It wasn't reduced either: it's the same thing. He'll still have to serve the suspension at some stage. So will Balogun. But clearly not here.

Chris Wilder signed him on Loan for Middlesbrough.
Some of their supporters felt he needed to build up his strength, some commenting that he was too weak and easily dispossessed.
 
Trump's press conference was incredible. This World Cup is four times more successful than anything else has ever been. So successful that he's suggested to "Gianni" that it should be in America next time as well, maybe sharing it with someone else, but "Gianni" said that would be difficult.
Balogun is the best...one of the best because they're all great, players so it would be unfair if he missed a whole game which hasn't been played yet.
And Trump plays golf with Harry Kane so he thinks he's a great guy.

Sounds relatively typical.

I certainly true that using The World Cup as a scouting tool is notoriously unreliable.

The Premier League find them all out if they are lacking.
