    Got a funeral tomorrow.  Need to be at the house we're leaving from at 9am.  Has put paid to staying up late tonight.  Going to watch a full rerun about 5am, so I've got two hours peace before the kids wake up!

    Too hard to call, so wont bother. Just hope for the best & that whatever happens, it can go to bed after 90 mins and not 120 mins 
    So, would you rather lose in 90 mins or win after 120 mins and penalties?

    I hope he gets battered on Tuesday. But doubtless he'll score a last minute winner instead, that's just how the world is at the moment.

    It's important that we make the most of the Hydration Breaks tonight.

    3 minutes when half the pub will rush to the bar for a top up, so need to be razor sharp to get to the bar first.

    Sounds like James isn’t back fit and Spence has picked up a knock. Quansah or Rice at RB. Worth noting that Mexico’s best player is their left winger 
    BBC saying it’s Quansah at RB and Gordon and Saka both start

    So thats two of our best pen takers unlikely to be on the pitch if it goes all the way in Saka and Gordon.

    I’d rather be positive from kick-off and try to win in 90 minutes.

    Konsa and Quansah in the same squad. Still can't believe it.

    You've really thrown me off with the order there. Thought Tuchel had gone rogue and put Kane in goal

    Kane’s a brilliant player, but mental to play him in goal.

    Why would you ever put the left back on the right side of the formation? :-)

    Don't do anything that the oppo expects!

    Thunderstorms around the Azteca. No kick off delays reported yet.

    Yeah. Really thought it was the opportunity for him to keep Konsa in the side but shift him to RB and at the same time get a better CB pairing.

    England need to control the tempo like Norway if we're going to win it. Not exactly our strong suit though.

    Comments like this always make me laugh. I've been called out before on here for putting lineups that way round. I don't know why I do but it's just how I see football. Maybe it's from when I sat in the Covered End and so that's how Charlton line up in front of me. Also as Callum says, left is left if you put it that way round

    Sounding like a delayed kick off is very possible.
