World Cup WC 2026: R16 - Mexico v England

[Sarge]

Like watching Oxford- all sat back, no outlet when the ball is cleared

 

[unification]

I’ve seen this film before - and I don’t like the ending.

Can’t it just be really boring with no Mexico chances for the next 15 ‘minutes or so.

 

[m]

Surely that's another penalty or two?

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Like watching Oxford in the championship

 

[unification]

It’s like the playoff final. I spent the last 10 minutes of it watching the clock and not the game.

 

[Scotchegg]

Think we need another goal

 

[Billyox]

Think we need another goal

Or 3

 

[Scotchegg]

Its been bugging me all game, but just realised the ref reminds me of the Oompa Loompa from Willy Wonka!

 

[Billyox]

Good call taking Harry off

[Northstandboy]

11 mins!

 

[Scotchegg]

9 to go

 

[Billyox]

11 mins!

8

 

[Billyox]

Where's Alfie Potter when you need him

 

[QR]

So if Rice was booked for a high foot why wasn't that Mexican overhead kick to the head a booking?

 

[Northstandboy]

Can we get that red card removed like the USA player has had?

 

[Northstandboy]

Yesssss

 

[Sarge]

YESSSSSS

 

[Scotchegg]

Yeeeessssss!!!!

Massive win

 

[Teddydee1980]

Right, where are the fireworks! Go on lads.

 

[Osei Yaw]

Dan Burn would be blocking shots out there until next year.

 

[Billyox]

Can we get that red card removed like the USA player has had?

It was suspended absolutely pathetic from fifa
If that was any other team the red card would of stood

 

[Joey]

Fantastic effort with 10 men and good subs from Tuchel. Don't think we can have any arguments about the red or their penalty but it was never a foul for their first, going in 2 up and it's a different game.

Bellingham is absolutely class, what a player and attitude.

 

[Jason]

Phew. Well done England.

Sun’s just coming up in the shire and bed calls.

Night all.

 

[Osei Yaw]

Mexico can appeal for every decision. They can even pay the ref off if they want, but it's never standing in the way of it coming home.

 

[OxfordBoy]

I thought the ref got every decision right (with help by var) I thought the Kane penalty could have gone either way but I think probably it was a penalty and I don't think there's any argument about any of the others

I actually thought it was a really good ref performance considering how contentious so many things were

 

[OxfordBoy]

Not a pretty and not an overly disciplined performance but still a very good win. And that's all you can ask for I suppose

 

[unification]

That was fairly comfortable in the end. The closest they got was John Stones nudging it wide.

I’ll attempt some sleep now. Productivity will be low in the Unification household today. .

I absolutely have an argument about the penalty.

It absolutely wasn't. It's not given anywhere else on the pitch.

 

[Joey]

Wonder if Quansah's suspension will get suspended.
