It does but it won’t be sunny.

The issue with the altitude is the time it takes the body to adapt, most of the Mexico team have been based their for 3 weeks or so

Aye

It’s a huge advantage

Would be different if it was us and an opposition in the same boat.

Anyone who’s been that high up knows it’s tougher for the first few days. You’re just catching your breath walking up a hill. Then you adapt & feel like a superhero.

We’ll be still adapting… but hopefully going a day early helps

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

Don't ever ask me for advice on flying underneath the radar.

As usual I don't know what you're talking about. I'm hopeful Norway will win, I dont think they will, as Brazil will have far too much for them all over the park. Personally, I have Brazil as 3rd favourites behind the obvious two of France and Argentina

As for Green Bay Packers, fuck that, I don't even like baseball

The pub option. I can't believe that I'm thinking about it.

Uber drivers will be licking their lips too.

Well that's another box ticked then.

Turning into some day this. Just had the invite to return to my Czech pals bar in Benahavis for the Mexico game. A Def Leppard likely to be there - apparently Rod The Mod turned down the invite Can't believe that he asked him but he does have a wickedly dry sense of humour.

I'll probably give it a miss and watch it on catch up at 6am with a full English.

Really hope those 2 lumps arent playing together in midfield

Bit harsh on Bellingham that.

Bellingham doesnt get nose bleeds at the thought of taking risks going forward.

He does going back though.

That's why Anderson is there.

Spence also a doubt by all accounts with a calf injury

Putting all points aside about who he should/shouldn’t have taken, 3FBs getting injured out there is very bad luck.

I’m hoping it might mean we put Konsa RB.

Pickford

Konsa. Stones. Guehi O’Reilly

Rice. Anderson

Madueke. Bellingham. Gordon

Kane.

I get Madueke won’t be a popular choice, but I don’t think Saka has hit the straps yet. Having him and Rashford later could be useful too.

I think it's either Quansah RB, or Saka RWB

I'd love him to go 3-5-2.

A formation I usually hate but needs must.

I think their best player of a left winger. 3-5-2 would be a heck of a risk.

Not particularly, when you take players who have a history of injuries.

I have to admit, it has surprised me how poor English full back options are though at the moment, so not sure anyone else would have made a difference.

Believe Saka, Gordon and Quansah are starting

It's pissing it down

The Stadium was called the Azteca 2000 right ? Ive believed that all my life but no one ever calls it that . Mandela effect ?

Anyway fantastic to see Brazil go out !

Kick off now 2am

half way there

Shiite.

Fucking hell works going to be tough in t’morning

Got to the pub just after 11 and now delayed until 2, I'm going home

Yeah that's a real shitter if you've stayed up.
