Nearly!!!

Oooh, in the nuts.

Bless not

Awww Cabo Verde 👏👏👏

Brilliant match and that was a huge win for Cabo Verde. Superb.

Applause for Cape Verde - brilliant game.

CV will always be team to be remembered !
They were fab ! X

I hope their goalie gets some kind of reward!

I am here for 2.30 if any one is around ?

Not sure yet. My sleeping hours are all over the place!

I’m flagging now …

Really want to see how Ghana play again.
Are they going to be so defensive ?

Sending in an 18 year old to take a pen. I know the lad probably wanted to but awful to watch when he missed. Took me back to Saka's miss in 2021.

According to the reports, they didn't have a shot on target

So wait it’s now 1am kick off for England game? Why keep changing it?!

It's a piss take and its all to give Mexico the upper hand.

Yes, that was really crappy. Badly done, Coach, badly done.

He was exceptional but the whole team was brilliant!

Their two goals against Argentina were world class and they fought to the end. They’ve shown other teams to dare to win.

Shame that they were outdone by an own goal in the dying moments of ET.

Their Irish born defender was asked to join the national squad by a LinkedIn message 😂

The stuff of fairytales!

FIFA has been watching this thread and decided that England got the advantage when my cousin left the room twice and Kane scored twice and a poster who left for a stress ciggie and Kane scored. That won't be happening in the early hours of the morning 😞

😂

I hope Canada win tonight just to annoy Trump on his Glorious Day.

Does this mean I have to stay up and awake so that I can keep going to the loo?

Haha I think that was me ! Probably nipped outside for a quick occasional ciggie 🤦‍♀️

We need to sort out a rota.

All this uncertainty has caused a stir. Late Last night on bbc news they spoke to someone in Mexico City , then the presenter spoke to other correspondents in the studio about it and we were told that nobody knew what was going to happen.
It seems it’s gone back to the 1am KO now. All been a bit confusing hasnt it.
