Thoughts on this one? Could be a tougher than expected day for England.

Today if he had 8 rashers in bag he would struggle to get 1 out.

love the pic sof
Ha ha, I gave my AI overlords some creative licence here. 
I think they will get through by hook or by crook, however if they failed to....I reckon TT will walk.
Worst England performance I've ever seen, no technical players to carve them open, hoping for power and pace to do the job
Will not be surprised if Doctor Congo score again here and put this game to bed.
I hope Julien Stephan is on the phone to some of these DR lads agents,they could do a job in the Championship for the supahoooooppppps
Reckon England will pull 2 out of the bag, usual late goals
Nah I'm treading lightly mes, been stung a few more times than I'd like this world cup
This will be worse than Hodgson/Iceland
Tuchel will be infamous
Tuchel will be infamous
said that earlier, this is definitely worse than Iceland
Same here Mega bookings done for me, done a lot last night after I said last one, thought there would be a Red Card in the Mexico so left it after previous stingings. If I was having a good run, I would have small bets on Gordon and O'Reilly and Eze to score. And big big bet over 1.5 goals.
It's coming lads brace yourselves, once one goes in usually get another soon after

Got a flight booked to Mexico
Oh no, really? 
What was it that used to say, brace for imact or something similar.
you need a Jack Wilshere on the pitch to unlock the defence
These commentators. 2 MORE attacks and they will say its all ENGLAND.
wonder how many people were cancelling their flights to Mexico
As I said earlier, a chance for Gordon to keep his place...if they win.
They need to keep the pressure on and get another here don't want no et or penalties
Congo probably still fancy a winner against that defence
The passing and crossing from England today has been shocking
If England did win the world cup, would JT run on in full kit as they lifted the trophy.
Great if we go on to win, but fk me Tuchel needs to read the riot act afterward, the standard of passing, moving, crossing needs to increase massively to have a chance against much better sides
mesmerised I think that is as good as ENGLAND are.

I wouldn't. Good luck though.
was talking to mega.
I think we're good enough to beat mexico even with altitude issues, Mexico's great record there is fattened by the fact they play in such a weak qualifying region and play friendlies against them as well, don't often ever play a side of England's natural level. Brazil however is just 50/50, wouldn't fancy our chances against the French though, they'd murder this defence
Funny they beat N Ireland at home in last prep for WC, we played well with 1/2 our squad missing. If France cannot get on top early, they get jittery. 3-1 was misleading in our defeat.
If was still around bless him, I would put Bamber Gascoigne in the team.
done ok last 10 min,but dont think anderson will start against mexico,been shocking for 80 min looks completelty lost,all going on around him,team mates ignoring him

W/D bettors on overs and W/D to the Engerland fans on here.
Last night it was only 14 degrees Celsius at the Azteca Stadium for the Mexico v Ecuador game so I wouldn't worry about the heat or humidity. It's the high altitude (2,200m above sea level) that'll be the issue.
you take in about 23.5% less oxygen per breath compared to sea level.
Pretty close guess..

Not sure if the England have any experience with hypoxic/altitude training. Was it any part of their WC preparation?
No, England did not use hypoxic training for the 2026 World Cup. Instead, the team relied on specialists from Team GB and global experts to help players adapt to the tournament's high humidity and heat.
Key preparation methods included:
Thermal Monitoring: Players took capsules during a warm-weather training camp in Florida to measure internal body temperature and cooling rates.
Acclimatization: The squad spent time in the humidity of Florida and played warm-up matches in hot conditions to get used to the environment.
Hydration Strategy: The team treated hydration breaks, introduced due to the heat, as a practice opportunity to manage fluid intake.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel explicitly stated that they had planned for the conditions using these adaptive solutions rather than hypoxic methods.
Raul Jimenez is used to playing at 10 feet above sea level so we won't have to worry about him
Holding their breathe in the bogs for a few minutes after Harrys had a s h it,should do the job...

Yes, low-tech but just as effective as the fancy hypoxic training.

Yeah, you can see it now, Tuchel, "Right guys it's time for altitude training, who needs a sh*t, right, all the rest of you get in the bogs and see how long you can hold your breath for"
"After that we'll break for lunch"

Ingerland manager just said
We are NOT prepared for altitude
You need 12 days!!!
Mexico just need to hold the ball and they win

Serious question..supposing we win say like 2-0 today..how will the bookies price us against Mexico..anyone any idea?
Not sure. Maybe they'll be around 1.70 to qualify for the quarter-finals. That'll be a very tough game for England though.
Good shout....currently 1.76
, put my 1.75 in 90 minutes to shame, currently 2.44
