England ahead somehow, but they rarely have the ball and Mexico are likely to soundly punish them in the second half.

I really like Tuchel. I love watching his interviews!

Agreed.

Mexico are not relenting and as always happens when a team keeps making shots at goal, one eventually goes in.

If the second half is anything like the first, this game will be a classic.

Apparently Rooney said he'd row down the Mersey if Norway reached the QF. Oops.

I would kill for one right now! 2 years given up but if a shop was open this minute I would be getting a pack 🙈🤣

What a game. We came to PLAY!!!!. come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

Hope they come out fighting and push forward more. So stressful watching England play.

Anyone else see the strong resemblance between Tuchel and 'Merlin' actor Colin Morgan? Tuchel's a much older version but still! (Random observation)

Yes the match momentum chart showed overwhelming dominance by Mexico.

Guess we'll see what surprises the second half beings but I expect Mexico to equalise

This is so intense!!

As a Wolves fan I hope Jimenez is this good next season. But I hope he has a crap 2nd half now!

I can see it now you have pointed it out!!

Even if England don't make it this has been a fantastic match to watch.

Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It's going to be a long morning this.
I'm bloody stressed.

We like Jimenez. For reasons...

I thought about sleeping through the first half, glad I didn't!

It was awesome when they scored, love being in the pub for that

I'd pay money to watch that. 😁
Is he going in "mock viking" costume I wonder?🤔🤯

Drifted off, woke up to the first goal, was barely awake and then another! Amazing match so far- keep it up England!

I like Shearer too. He does a lot of charity stuff.

I'm at Jack Poole plaza in Vancouver. Totally out numbered by Mexican fans. The atmosphere is electric.

England would have taken a 2 - 1 lead at half-time, before the game wouldn't they? All good.

Vancouver is one of my favourite places in the world 🤩

Cat now woken up but gone to sit/sleep on my padded dressing table chair with cushion in peace.
