    game delayed by an hour, so nope off to bed. I'll see what result Trump has requested tomorrow.

    Still awake & hopefully I will be running off the back of a win to keep me going during the day ahead busy as it’s going to be 😬.

    Up at 4am to watch Norway beat Brazil. The Haaland-led Viking Boat Row after was also brilliant. Bonded the team and supporters. One of the lasting memories of this competition.
    BTW Mrs Grey, me and the boss watch from any time between 2 and 5am, drive for brunch, and rest in the afternoon. Retirement, it's brilliant 😁

    Fortunately the schedule obviously works for us over here - boys came over for burgers and brats - game on at for a civilized 8.00pm.

    I think that Mexico is a tougher nut to crack than Norway but if we do prevail tonight, I feel we have a great chance of a semi final spot- probably against Argentina - now that would be great reason to get a few beers in

    Well kick off now 9 pm here in Canada ,And I'm dozing off already ,I knew I should not have had that second glass .

    How does the Mexico player not get a yellow card for picking the ball up when we were awarded a free kick?
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Get in, Bellingham.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    And he gets a second, 2-0.

    It's nearly 4am here, went for a few hours sleep and set alarm to get up....
    Pity we couldn't have kept the 2 goal advantage and Mexico have been piling on the pressure since.

    I said Pickford looked nervy in an earlier game, but so far tonight he has made a few brilliant saves....

    Come on England....

    @buffybegood looks like just us 2 stayed up to watch that.....& perhaps Fortune !!!
    Well worth it, that game had the lot......

    There wasn't time for the first corner, let alone the second! That was a hard fought victory, well done England.
  • KuchinghammerKuchinghammer
    I was watching, just too wired up to text! That was chaos, with a good result. The crowd, the ref, the altitude, their early tactics, 10 men for 50 minutes...and I was going to add, Tuchel's weird substitutions but they all worked perfectly...the best defensive team performance I've seen from England that I can remember 👏 👍
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Yes I also watched it live - what a game - the last 15 mins were absolute torture but amazing.

    Possibly the best England performance/result I can remember - down to ten for so long in that cauldron yet manage to prevail.

    Pickford, Bellingham and the rest take a bow
  • SlackerSlacker
    Wow, just wow.
    Every single one of them was a hero, but Pickford? What a game he had!
    Probably the best England performance in a tournament for donkey’s years.
    So proud of ‘em.

    I just finished watching the full replay this morning (after checking the result), I was still worried we were going to concede in extra time!
    What a game.
  • CrustyCrusty
    That was without doubt, the best England performance and the best football match I have ever watched. It had, and the players gave, everything. Unbelievably pride inducing stuff.

    Balogun's red card suspension has surely set a precedent. Let's see if Quansah's is treated the same. I won't hold my breath.
  • MoojorMoojor
    We should just announce it ourselves and let Fifa have to argue why his red isn't suspended.

    FA just come out with, "we are grateful that Fifa have allowed all teams to have 1 red card decision which can be suspended for 1 year. In light of this we have decided that Quansah's will be eligible for the the next game against Norway."
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    @jay_in_cpt, Yes I did go the distance.

    The Ronaldo suspended suspension is the predcedent people are saying has been used by FIFA opening a large can of worms!

    That doesn't really fly though, because that was in qualifiers. There has only ever been 1 other ban overturned in the actual WC itself and the other was when there wasn't the automatic suspension for a red card.

    So this is literally the first time this has ever been done and it's been done on the basis of political interference.
