You mean with the altitude? I think I posted on here according to a Reddit post the Mexicans aren’t as good as the English team, none of their players are in euro English teams. But really we can’t just rely on superstar Kane.

Happy to help 😄

Yes @Julcandoit twas your very self.

Yes. Loo duty required 😄

It's being discussed on Any Questions - one panellist has just stated it's a 'once in a lifetime opportunity' - it happens every 4 years ya prick!

I’m hoping for a Canada win this match and a Paraguay win next.

Bit boring so far

Yeah, not watching avidly.

Yep. Complete snoozefest.

Bit of a scrap to liven things up.

Maybe even the players are bored

😁

What time is it in Texas? Maybe they haven't had their morning coffee yet?

Oh yes 😊 GOOOAAAL

Luc will learn a valuable lesson.

I want Canada to win but I’m just pleased something has happened!

Canada need to up their game, lots of half chances but no end product.

I this announcer in Dallas the most annoying ever?

There's some pretty stiff competition in fairness!

The 'Americanisation' of soccer football is annoying me. The countdown at the start. The half time interviews. The gushing 'Hey you guys!' announcements. And don't get me started on the commercial 'hydration' breaks.

In your dreams

Nobody is beating France.

Astonished that Morocco is ahead because the passing leaves a lot to be desired.

Painful to see great teams go out, such as Cabo Verde and we end up with this cross.

Don't care who wins by the way.

Edit teams for clubs.

Can hope 🤣

Yes it seems unlikely. Anything can happen in football

The goal didn't do anything to improve the game

Agree
