Wow, Croatia equalise in the dying gasps!

now ruled offside

Portugal win

Portugal didn't deserve that win.

I fell asleep! Gutted for Croatia.

Just woke to see Switzerland go 2-0 up

Boooo! Just seen that Portugal won. Hopefully Spain will sort them out.

Not sure England will survive against Mexico Monday…

The altitude is ridiculous in that stadium in Mexico..
I think that this will be their last match to be honest.
It is all stacked against them isn’t it.
Hate to be negative, but it would be a miracle if they get through.

Two disadvantages that and the home crowd.

Mexico haven’t lost a match at the Azteca in 56 years. It’s a formidable record
I hope Portugal is out next week.

Having been to Mexico City the altitude took some getting used to, and I didn’t have to run around a field in the heat!

I was well pissed off when Portugal won last night. Their goalie was well tested by Croatia, plus their offside goal being disallowed. Portugal were lucky. When I watched Croatia's relentless attack it made me realise how weak we are going forwards.kane is on his own.

They may have an outside chance in one of the US air conditioned stadiums maybe , but this is all stacked against them being played here.

And the lack of a good right back who is fit and in the squad. And an over dependence on the ex-Millwall striker who has a bad game very occasionally.

From what I saw (until I fell asleep!) Portugal were definitely lucky to get the win. Croatia were great!

Evening all . Really want Australia to win this match . Son in Oz and I have Australia in my sweepstake 😊🙏

I want Australia to win too! My sister and her family live there

Egypt goal!

Good luck x

Ooh.

I thought this match was at 8, just switched on

COME ON MEXICO..

France - Argentina final but France to win this time. They're brilliant.

Wrong night love

It’s official! Scotland were the worst team ever and their fans even worse!!!!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Not sure if I can do another late one tonight. But would like to see Argentina upset.
