i love a good hate watch

I really hope that no one on here ever wore a Brazilian jersey. Especially in the 90s or early 00s.

Am I allowed to say that I really liked the Brazil team of 1970? And 1982? Not since though. You wonder why they selected Igor Thiago, a big lump of a centre-forward, and then didn't bring him on when they needed something different.

Mexico v England delayed due to the weather ....

i remember as a kid collecting some card series based on Football players. Must have been in the late 70's early 80's
Zico comes to mind as a player i would have seen on one of those cards.

Always support team USA. It makes the worst kind of euros angry when they win.

Following the England v Mexico score online, its been 0-0 for a while
look away for just a couple of mins and its all of a sudden 2-1 to the Poms.
3 goals in 6 mins

Go the poms btw..

i missed it had started, i thought it was delayed?

mariner4life

oh. i thought the initial kick off was 11am my time. my bad

Mexico have controlled the game. England have been quite content to sit back in a compact defensive set up and hit on the counter - which they did twice. Bellingham making the difference on both ends. Would be surprised if Mexico don't score again, they've had some great chances.

mariner4life

well well. England were looking very good and now might be a bit fucked

This game is chaotic. Kane converts and now England will be building a wall to keep the Mexicans out.

mariner4life

will they try and make Mexico pay for it?

mariner4life

this will be the softest penalty in history if given

mariner4life

oh nah that's fucked

There is more drama in this game than a Mexican telenovela. Want England to win but I am eating up all the drama.

mariner4life

is this fluffybunny on the take?

@mariner4life This is the same FIFA that arbitrarily decided that a red card now no longer means a game's suspension?

It's the most corrupt sport on the face of the planet.

England cannot do this for another 20 minutes, they need to find an avenue to break out and get some possession

Down a man, at altitude and defending for the last 15+ mins. Gonna take a mighty effort and a lot of luck to keep the Mexicans out.
