Fifa World Cup

[MK Iron]

Ref wouldn’t look out of place in the National League. VAR decisions (and non decisions) were a disgrace.

Pure incompetence or further evidence of FIFA’s long standing bias against European teams and football authorities?

2-0 Mexico

In 1966 it was 2-0 to England in England. So 2026 and 2-0 to Mexico in Mexico has a nice symmetry to it.

Don’t expect England to progress but I don’t think it will be as straightforward as 2-0. Could well be the dreaded penalty shootout!

I hope so, could be our best chance.

No doubt it’s going to be a tough game. Although the way it’s being touted is as if the Azteca is higher than Everest and Mexico have have won every game there since 1899! They’re used to playing teams like Guatemala and Honduras et al. and their best player is a 35 year old striker about to ply his trade in the Championship with Wolves.

Nothing to fear lads!

Bobby Charlton’s goal stopped the traffic in Mexico city and people went to pray, what a legend goal.
And what a screamer.
England’s best forward till now but I must admit Kane has taken that mantle away from him.
Rooney absolutely nowhere.

Harsh, look at his record.

Rooney couldn’t do it at a World Cup though, only one goal in a game we lost vs Uruguay and ensured we were packing our bags to go home after the 2nd group game.

In true Mike Bassett spirit, repeat after me…”we’re better than the Mexicans, we’re better than the Mexicans…”
