🇲🇽 2-3 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

- ⚡ 36' & 38' BELLINGHAM. Two goals in 98 seconds to stun the Azteca. Superstar stuff.

- 🔥 42' Quiñones pulls one back and the crowd erupts. Game on

- 🟥 54' Quansah sent off. England down to 10, Mexico smell blood

- 🎯 60' Kane calmly slots a penalty after Gordon was brought down in the box. Two goal cushion restored.

- 😬 69' then Kane gives away a penalty, Jiménez buries it. 3-2. Squeaky

- 🧱 90+11 ELEVEN minutes of stoppage time. England throw bodies on the line and hold on

England are the FIRST team ever to beat Mexico at the Azteca in a World Cup. Ten games unbeaten there until tonight. It's coming home... isn't it? 👀

🇳🇴 ERLING HAALAND is having the World Cup of his life 🐐

- 7 goals in 7 games level with Mbappé & Messi for the Golden Boot

- Scored in EVERY game this tournament

- On his own, he's matched Norway's total goals across every previous World Cup combined

- More goals in his debut World Cup than Messi, Mbappé AND Ronaldo managed in theirs combined 😳

First it was Norway who couldn't qualify for tournaments. Now they're in the last 8 and Haaland's the most feared man in it.

🚨 HAALAND SENDS BRAZIL HOME. 🇳🇴 Norway are into the QUARTER-FINALS. 😱

🇧🇷 1-2 🇳🇴

- 🧤 15' Brazil miss a penalty. Bruno Guimarães' effort saved by Nyland, who was unreal all night.

- 😬 58' Endrick, one-on-one with his first touch... can't beat Nyland. Brazil kept getting denied.

- ⚡ 79' HAALAND. Ghosts in front of Gabriel and heads Norway in front.

- 🚀 90' and again. A rocket from outside the box. Game over.

- ⚽ 90+10 Neymar taps in a late consolation penalty. Too little, way too late.

Brazil out before the quarters for the first time since 1990.
Norway had an xG of 1.05 to Brazil's 2.61 and won anyway.

⚠️🌧️ LONG NIGHT INCOMING AT THE AZTECA 🏟️⚡

Rain lands in ~30 mins - and Mexico's weather service (SMN) has thunderstorms parked over the ground for the whole opening period. 😬

Will this favour England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿?

Hour-by-hour read 👇
🕔 17:00 → 80% storms ⛈️
⚽ 18:00 KICKOFF → 60%, thunder overhead 🌩️
🕖 19:00 → 60%, still coming down 🌧️
🕗 20:00 → easing to 40% 💧

FIFA's protocol is brutal: one strike and everyone's off until 30 mins after the last bolt. Ecuador lost an hour to it here days ago.

Brace for a long, stop-start night at the Azteca. 🌩️

🇺🇸 🚨
"Red cards can't be appealed." FIFA, three days ago.

Today: Balogun's ban is suspended under Article 27. One-year probation. No reasoning given. He plays Belgium.

Ronaldo got the identical treatment before the tournament. Funny how the rulebook bends for the names that sell tickets. ⚽️

The officials protect the stars. Now the paperwork does too

🚨 ARGENTINA SURVIVE THE SCARE OF THEIR LIVES. 🇨🇻 Cape Verde, take a bow. 👏

🇦🇷 3-2 🇨🇻 (AET)

- ✨ 29' Messi. Silky control, ice cold finish. His 20th World Cup goal. Business as usual, right?

- 🔥 Duarte levels for Cape Verde. The island of 525,000 aren't going quietly.

- ⚡ 92' Lisandro Martínez smashes Argentina ahead in extra time. Surely that's it?

- 🚀 103' Cabral says NO. Cuts inside and curls an absolute WORLDIE into the top corner. 2-2. Might just be the best goal this world cup 😱

- 🧤 Vozinha (40 years old) with EIGHT saves, denying Messi one on one and from a free kick. Hero

- 💔 111' an own goal finally settles it. Cape Verde's dream ends by the cruellest margin

The 64th ranked side, smallest nation ever to reach a World Cup knockout, took the world champions to the wire. Football, we love you. 🇨🇻

🚨 DRAMA IN TORONTO. 🇵🇹 Portugal survive an EPIC to reach the last 16. 😮‍💨

🇭🇷 1-2 🇵🇹 (Croatia)

- 🎯 68' RONALDO. Wins the penalty, buries it. Portugal level. 🙌

- 🔥 81' Croatia retake the lead? No chalked off. One of FOUR disallowed goals tonight.

- 😳 The Ronaldo sub hooked off by Martínez and NOT happy about it

- ⚡ 90+4' Gonçalo Ramos flicks in Leão's cross to win it for Portugal

- 💔 90+13' Croatia score a lastgasp equaliser... VAR rules it out. Bottles rain onto the pitch.

😮‍💨 England SURVIVE the scare. Kane to the rescue󠁛󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁝

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 2-1 🇨🇩

- ⚡ 7' Cipenga stuns them early. Congo ahead, England rattled

- 🎯 75' Kane drags England level

- 🚀 86' and then THAT. Kane with an absolute ROCKET to win it late. Captain's goal

England were made to work by a Congo side that refused to go away but Harry Kane bailed them out. Again

Job done, but plenty to fix. Next up: 🇲🇽 Mexico and a packed Azteca await. 👀

🚨 HAALAND STRIKES LATE. 🇳🇴 Norway are into the last 16 and Brazil are next. 😳

🇳🇴 2-1 🇨🇮

- 🎯 39' Nusa announces himself. Cuts in from the left and curls an absolute BEAUTY into the top corner. 1-0 Norway

- 🛑 74' (nearly) Amad clears a certain goal off his own line... then goes up the other end and scores. Ridiculous

- ⚡ 74' Amad Diallo cuts in, beats two men, and rifles it home. 1-1. What a cameo off the bench

- 🧤 Nyland with a stunning save to deny Amad's freekick moments later. Somehow still level

- 💥 86' of course it's HAALAND. Six yards out, right place right time, taps home the winner

That's 13 goals in 13 straight games for Norway for Haaland. The man is a cheat code. 🤖

Next up: 🇧🇷 Brazil vs Norway. Haaland vs the five-time champions. Buckle up. 👀

🚨 THE AZTECA ERUPTS. 🇲🇽 Mexico end a 40-YEAR wait. The hosts are into the last 16. 🎉

🇲🇽 2-0 🇪🇨

- 🎇 22' Quiñones shrugs off his man and RIFLES it into the top corner. The Azteca goes off. 1-0

- 🚀 31' Jiménez plays a one-two and smashes a first-time finish into the SAME top corner. 2-0, and the hosts are flying

- 🧤 Rangel with a big save to keep the clean sheet Mexico STILL haven't conceded a goal all tournament

- 🟥 Hincapié sees red late on for Ecuador after covering his mouth in an argument. Rough end to a rough night

- 👑 80,000 inside a rocking Azteca sang the roof off. This is what a World Cup at home looks like

Mexico's first knockout win since 1986 the last time they hosted. Forty years of hurt, gone. 🇲🇽

Next up: the winner of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England vs DR Congo 🇨🇩

🚨 FRANCE TURN IT ON. 🇫🇷 Sweden swept aside. The favourites just sent a message 😮‍💨

🇫🇷 3-0 🇸🇪

- ⚡ 45' MBAPPÉ. Dembélé slips him in, he jinks past his man and hammers it home right on half-time. 1-0

- 🎯 53' Barcola lofts a cool finish over the keeper. Two nil and cruising

- 🔥 74' Mbappé again, this time clipped in from an Olise through ball. Brace complete

- 🧊 The scoreline actually FLATTERED Sweden. The woodwork and a few millimetres saved them from a hiding

Mbappé now has 18 World Cup goals passing Klose, one behind Messi (19). And it's taken him just 18 games. 🐐

Olise? FIVE assists this tournament the most at a single World Cup since 1994.

Next up: 🇵🇾 Paraguay, fresh off dumping out Germany. Good luck with THIS France side. 👀

🚨 MOROCCO DO IT AGAIN. 🇲🇦 The Netherlands are OUT. 😱

🇳🇱 1-1 🇲🇦 (Morocco win 3-2 on pens)

- ⚽ 72' Gakpo finally broke the deadlock to put the Dutch ahead

- 🔥 91' Diop heads in a stoppage time equaliser. Game flipped on its head.

- 🛑 97' Rahimi clean through... but Verbruggen somehow claws it out. Stunning save.

- 🤯 Penalties. CARNAGE. 5 of 10 missed. Absolute madness.

- 🧱 Achraf Hakimi... MISSED. One of the best full backs on earth, off the post. Who saw THAT coming? 😅

- 🧤 Then Bounou the penalty king saves Summerville to leave it on a knife edge.

- 🏆 Saibari steps up and buries the winner. Morocco march on to face Canada.

The 2022 semi finalists roll on. The Netherlands? Their earliest World Cup exit EVER. 🇲🇦
