One of the greatest ever performances by a player in an #England shirt that from Jude Bellingham. Quality, timing, reading, understanding, leadership, will, effort etc ‘aside’, the fitness in those circumstances is off the scale.
And one of its best goalkeeping displays too from Jordan Pickford.
Loads of big performances but those two immense
What a win for England. Everything was against us today: playing with 10 men, a soft penalty decision, Mexico’s dark arts, and, of course, the altitude.
Mexico tried every trick in the book, from fans keeping the players awake to creating a hostile atmosphere inside the stadium, along with constant little fouls throughout the game.
The mentality and attitude from England to defend like that with 10 men for 30 minutes was incredible. Players were throwing their bodies on the line, Jude Bellingham was World Class, and Pickford… wow. What a performance.
Gordon very impressive. Djed Spence and Burn coming on did so well under pressure.
Tuchel when it comes to knockout game management is another level from Southgate.
That is a shocking, idiotic tackle from Jarell Quansah. Red card every single time. Made the decision for VAR & the referee.
There's 40+ minutes left here. Could be so costly.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær on Erling Haaland:
🗣 "I called Manchester United six months before I took over and told them that I’d got this striker, this boy Haaland that we had… but they didn't listen”.
“I asked for £4m for Erling. They did not sign him”
Just heard that #england and mexico teams have been told NOT to travel to the Azteca Stadium right now, because of the storm protocols and lightning risk. Will almost certainly mean a delayed kick off.
