I’d like Argentina to lose as well , which means they probably won’t.

I know love...1am Monday...got the new Doritos Mexican. Hope they beat the overpaid English prima donnas....Can't wait to see their sobbing faces and twat Tuchel's. If they do win Brazil or Argentina will dispatch them..

Well as the lotto says, you've gotta be in it to win it. Are you in it?

Oh gawd. Argentina are going to ruin Cape Verde’s dreams.

10-1

Would love it to be the other way round. CV will need some luck.

Would be biggest WC shock of all time.

And the fact that the Mexicans will do everything they can to keep the players awake all night.
can you imagine the outcry from FIFA if England did that?
One of the most dangerous cities on the planet. Hope they have top security

TBH I actually think we'll win but then lose to either Brazil in QF or Argentina in semis.

Odds are very close with England slight favourites...

Oh and the Mexican taco Doritos are nice...

Just seen rumour that England Mexico match had been brought forward to noon time because of predicted storms...

anyone speak Spanish?

Apparently Fifa have confirmed to BBC Sport they are thinking about moving the KO time but that no final decisions have been made

DD and I though it was 8pm too but luckily she switched it on just as they kicked off

Bloody hell the officials are harsh

Oh that's interesting

Hmm, that might help them to get used to the altitude the longer it’s delayed.

It would be amusing after all the drama about pubs opening/schools opening late if the KO changes anyway 🤣

They would be bringing it forward so less time to get used to the altitude surely?

Oh, bringing it forwards! Sorry , I thought it would on later

😆 🤣 the pearl clutchers will just find something else to be miserable about.

Yep, schools , pubs , clubs , it’ll cause chaos !
lol

And here was me thinking I’d have to wfh on Monday… and I cancelled my gym classes Monday evening as gym is near work. Make your bloody mind up fifa!

Do FIFA not care about how the ‘ dog and duck ‘ Will operate their rota systems !
I guess I can’t blame the weather though. I suppose they are all glued to the weather forecasts now to see what is going on.

If the match gets moved, people will fume if the pubs don't still stay open until 5!

This is the ref for our game. Will he be biased towards either team do we think?
