🚨Frank Lampard on Mexico after England’s victory:
🗣️ Reporter:
“England are through, but what did you make of Mexico?”
🗣️ Frank Lampard:
“I thought Mexico were outstanding.
People will only remember that England qualified, but anyone who watched that game knows Mexico made England work for every single minute.
They never stopped believing.
Every time England looked like they were taking control, Mexico found another way back into the match. They pressed with intensity, played with courage and showed exactly why football is so unpredictable.
I actually feel for them because they leave this tournament without anything to be ashamed of.
Julián Quiñones was excellent.
Raúl Jiménez led the line brilliantly.
Edson Álvarez fought in midfield until the very end.
And the supporters… they created an unbelievable atmosphere from the first minute to the last.
England were simply more clinical in the decisive moments.
But Mexico leave with the respect of the football world.
Sometimes a team gets eliminated…
Yet earns more admiration than teams that go through.
I think that’s exactly what Mexico have done.
@BBCSport By comparison, running in my home city feels much harder on the lungs. It’s even worse in Mexico City because of the air pollution. Despite the similar altitude, I always find it harder to breathe there than I do at home.
@BBCSport I’m Mexican and live at 1.9Km above sea level. Last time I visited my best mate in LDN he forgot to leave me keys to his flat and he was in Dalston, flat is in Bermondsey. I ran there and back in an hour like it was nothing. Mexicans DO have competitive advantage from altitude.
Didn’t trade him for Castle
Didn’t trade him for KD
Didn’t trade him for Giannis
Didn’t trade him for prime Jimmy Butler
Didn’t trade him for prime Paul George
Traded him for old, washed, suspended for ketamine use, Paul George, in the year 2026
I cannot believe this
@FCHWPO there is absolutely not a single true Celtics fan who supports your trade to the Sixers, an absolute disgrace from the front office!! We love you and hope to see you again wearing green! I’m livid 😡😡😡
-Didn’t resign a single center in the 2025 offseason
-Traded Anfernee AND a pick for Poopevic
-Missed out on Giannis because you wanted to keep “Hugo Gonzalez” and “Baylor Scheierman” who didn’t even log playoff minutes this past postseason
-Traded a top 8 player in franchise history to a divisional rival who you just BLEW A 3-1 LEAD TO for a 35 year old semiretired podcaster on the worst contract in the entire fucking league
Get the fuck out of my city
Y que bueno que ganaron los intereses, los caprichos y las manipulaciones 😂 gordo huevón se sienta en una hielera 90 minutos y no hace nada, no pudo pasar con Uruguay de fase de grupos, vergonzoso, Uruguay se merece algo mejor
Increíble, pero cierto: el futbol mexicano le acaba de decir que “no” a la posibilidad de que Marcelo Bielsa encabece el proyecto de la selección al 2026…Todo, por intereses, por caprichos, por manipulaciones…
