| 41. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Mon 6th Jul 2026. 10:55 I don’t think England get to the final, but do see them beating Norway  It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
| 42. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Mon 6th Jul 2026. 11:21 That was a great result for England in the Azteca stadium. Not only beating Mexico on home soil but also the impact of the altitude. I think they will beat Norway and then its all to play for in the semi`s. A rwally good team performance where Kane and Bellingham produced the goods when it mattered. Fair play to them.

| 43. Author: GG Riva Date: Mon 6th Jul 2026. 11:23 Raymie the Legend, Mon 6 Jul 10:55 They`ll need to keep Halland very quiet. Mind you, Kane is every bit as dangerous in front of goal.  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 44. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Mon 6th Jul 2026. 11:25 Just watched the game, Kane shown yellow card for complaining about the penalty. Betfair haven`t paid out on it , SKY sports not showing it, though other outlets are saying he was booked? Am I mistaken? Reply |
| 45. Author: kelty_par Date: Mon 6th Jul 2026. 11:32 Think it`s England`s to lose now. They`ll beat Norway easily (they will probably concede but Norway has an inferior defence and England have more firepower on the bench if they need to change it), Argentina are no great shakes if they even get past Columbia, and while France and probably Spain are better teams, those two playing in a semi final where it might go the distance and will be a physically and mentally gruelling game, tips it in England`s favour. What an awful World Cup all round. Reply |
| 46. Author: desparado Date: Mon 6th Jul 2026. 11:33 Mexico committed soccer suicide last night. First goal, midfielder stopped tracking Bellingham, he was berated by another Mexican player. It was just lazy. Second goal. Mexico were all over the place defensively, still reeling from the first goal. They switched off completely. Third goal, just a hopeful punt up field that Gordon reacted to brilliantly but the Mexican keeper was just a split second slower in doing so. Mexico just seemed to run out of ideas in the last twenty mins and could not break down the packed England defence. There was a couple of mins late on where Mexico put three crosses in succession right out of the park..pitiful.. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 47. Author: king lad Date: Mon 6th Jul 2026. 11:39 Kane and Bellingham are just outstanding. Got to give it to that England side, they`ve shown real resilience the last couple games. Norway I thought were deserved winners against Brazil and Haaland is a different beast to what they`ve come up against so far. Very intrigued to see how that one ends up. Reply |
| 48. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 6th Jul 2026. 11:45 So did the high altitude turn out not to be the problem it was anticipated to be? Reply |
| 49. Author: Big T Par Date: Mon 6th Jul 2026. 12:05 wee eck, Mon 6 Jul 11:45 Well listening to Kanes interview after it, think it did affect them 😂😂😂 Comedy gold Reply |
| 50. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Mon 6th Jul 2026. 12:13 I think the altitude was a factor. In more normal conditions I think England would have won by a greater margin. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 51. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Mon 6th Jul 2026. 12:36 wee eck, Mon 6 Jul 11:45 I think the altitude would be a factor wee eck. Its something I dont believe you can aclimatise for quickly.. i spent a couple of years in Mexico city and used to run regularly in the evening. It doesnt get any easier so I can appreciate the achievement personally. G Wardrope Reply |
