We've not lost there for 40 years 🤌

I was planning to go bed earlier and set an alarm then stay awake through to work.

That really attractive looking Brazil v Norway game at.9pm throws a real spanner in the works though.

I think I'm going to end up missing it and catching up in the morning. Too old for this shit.

I would genuinely feel more confident playing France.

The altitude will be brutal.

Astonishing achievement if we get through here. Mexico have had a huge advantage to get to the quarters.

I'd be inclined to start Stones for this just for his calming influence. We Look panicky as fuck at the back

Me too.

I won't be staying up for it neither- family get up early and they wouldn't thank me for shouting in the early hours! 😀

3 for a Oner.

That's what I'll be doing

Sound Zog and Masi ere but our problem is clearly right back and wingers not producing enough. All too cluttered and slow in transition.

Might be time for 3xcbs and 2 wing backs

Mainoo, Rice and Anderson in front of em.

Bellers bowling all over the gaff with Kane doing the same.

Mexico not conceded in 4. Let's see who they've played...South Africa, South Korea, Czechia and Ecuador. Ah.

4 teams with the potency of Etete and Nlundulu upfront then. Honking.

You'd think we were playing a bunch inca warriors on the moon the way folk are carrying on.

Look at the list of teams they've beaten!

That win against Brazil was in 2003 - Brazil were much better then but it's hardly relevant now, is it? Those Belgium wins were in 1970 and 1986.

No need for me to give my penny worth, me you and 90% of the man on the street know he has selected a awful squad and players who are carrying injuries.

Their best striker is playing against us next season.

Admittedly a few other things in their favour like.

They all look the same

Bed for a few hours on Sunday night then up for the match. Not decided where yet. Work are letting us start at 11 on Monday but have to finish later. No brainer.

We'll stuff Mexico, I don't think it'll be a problem. The round after is when it starts to get serious

Aye, Norway will be tricky

They will, I'm very hopeful they can beat Brazil - that should be a cracking game

I want to go to the pub but I need some new mates. Win this 2-1. I don’t rate Mexico and think we beat them in their own back yard.

I also dislike Mexicans.

I love Mexican food and the best Beak I've ever had was in Cancun. Coco Bonogs is ace too.

El Chapo was no Pablo though.
