    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Yeah I thought you went far too early especially as, for the first 5 minutes of it, you literally booted the ball back to them every time coz you had no outball. You'd have to say, in hindsight, Tuchel got it spot on. I guess that's why he's such a highly rated manager.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I thought Shearer was a disgrace to be honest. Really f**king poor. His analysis of the first half, as @ricky2tricky4city said, wasn't grounded in any reality for me (albeit the 3 in the studio weren't a whole lot better). Then, in the second half, his commentary on the Mexico penalty was...

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    The whole relationship with Trump is bizarre and wrong from awarding him that peace prize, allowing the US to treat Iran the way they did to interfering in the disciplinary process (if that is what happened). It's outrageous that FIFA are openly compromising themselves to the President to the US.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    You’re absolutely right. Was like watching a Thomas Frank team. But England made it really difficult for them. There was no space to try and exploit in the England defence. Tuchel deserves so much credit for that last 20 mins.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    You were actually relatively comfortable if you’d watched it through neutral eyes which is impossible when you’re emotionally invested. It reminded me of the Dippers against us when they went down to 9 under Ange. England defended the box brilliantly so every player deserves immense credit for...

    Credit England. That last 15 mins was magnificent defending. Credit to the players and Tuchel.

    You’re down to 10, you don’t want to voluntarily go down to 9.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    This is ballsy from Tuchel. They won’t get out for the next 15-20 mins. Obviously decided to just defend the box.

    This is fudging box office.

    It’s soft but it’s a pen. He’s kicked the Mexican lad and not got the ball. Anywhere else on the pitch, it’s a free kick without question.

    What fudging game is Shearer commentating on?

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I’m not being funny but the bbc are hard to listen to. Kane has clearly feigned injury there to get the lad in trouble and Shearer just says “great defending”. fudge sake.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Have to be honest. I don’t think England have been nearly as good as the commentators think. Mexico are far better on the ball. Technically, they are lovely footballers. Bar 3 minutes of madness, Mexico have been the better side.

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    Thing is, they aren’t saying the red card is wrong. They haven’t rescinded it. That makes the decision even more incredible.

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    There’s no precedent for this and there is no transparency as to why this card should be subject to different treatment or how the decision has been arrived at. That’s wrong and it opens a massive can of worms.

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    What is the rule change here though? They’ve just suspended the punishment without any explanation and without clarifying if other players will get the same benefit. It’s indefensible IMO.

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    You can’t get to the right result this way. If incorrect red cards are a risk, you create some form of appeal mechanism. You don’t make ad hoc decisions like this. They didn’t even overturn the red card, they suspended the punishment. This is unprecedented in World Cups. It completely calls...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Rooney is fudging deplorable. Great player but it was purely on talent because his opinions are brick and his insight non existent. Richards is just the class clown. Entertaining but not always because of why he thinks he’s entertaining. Hart is decent to be fair. Thought he was very poor when...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    Just thinking and maybe its nostalgia talking but... The world cup has been great and I've enjoyed more than I expected. I wasn't even going to watch. However, has the game become homogenised in terms of tactics and coaching? When we get to this stage particularly, it's just the lads we see...
