    Our tactic seems to be weather the storm try and catch them on a break. 

    Not sure I see it happening when we constantly have 11 back. 
    Shut up Daz! 
    Nah, first rule of the match thread is famous last words are fine, as long as they're pessimistic. Complacency is more of a worry. And as I type that we concede.

    Good finish that.  Annoying timing

    But much worse that no one was keeping an eye on the Mexican

    Yeah you don't really want Saka was it? Marking their man in the box.

    Mexico bounce back and this is a top class game.
    1-2.

    Was so important to get to HT 2 nil. Different game now.

    Lets face it, with our defence we're not going to win many games 1-0. 

    And Jiminez shanks a great chance.

    Same old... we have been great on the break but this defence gets pulled to pieces by Argies or France. And dare I say Norway  / Haaland.

    Crikey. Could quite easily go in at 2-2 here.

    Who’d have thought an Iranian-Australian referee would do the English no favours!

    To be to FIFA, tough to find a country that doesn’t have something against us. 

    Hanging one for half time now.

    Ezri Konsa at Charlton was actually better than Ezri Konsa for England

    He's had a poor tournament. I thought he and Guehi would be a guaranteed pairing for years to come but maybe not

    Guehi and Konsa don't fill me with confidence.

    2 decisions against Saka nearly costing us 2 goals.
