this is like a dream matchup for me. whoever loses it's going to be funny either way. I kind of hope Mexico loses just to see how the fans react. but can't wait to hear England fans whine either.

Happy that FIFA did the right thing. I can't believe I just typed that.

that's just gonna piss england off

So? Angry players make mistakes.


The English team will be fine. I am sure they were well prepared with noise blocking headphones and earplugs.

What I am wondering about is the mix of English and Mexican fans all loaded up on mucho cerveza at the game. Of course England has a long and shameful hooligan tradition.

IDK, just seems like it will be combustible.

I don't think that many people knew of the rule, either way it seems obvious that the red card should have either been rescinded or not given a +1 game. It's more than enough punishment that the team had to play with 10 men for that long in a match.

What? Do you mean Azteca Stadium isn't almost twice the elevation of Mt Everest? I am pretty sure it is literally in the stratosphere. The Mexicans actually breathe Ozone, not oxygen. Little known fact, that is.

I guess I’ll hold my nose and root for three lions in this case.

Tonight, in Mexico City, is the most expensive game in sports history -- relative to the price and stadium size.

The cheapest seat for Mexico vs. England, four hours before kick, is $4,585.

There are 87,523 seats in Estadio Azteca!

Trump apparently lobbied FIFA to do it.

So we have a situation where I think the outcome is correct, he didn't deserve a red card, but the process to get there is a terrible precedent. YOu can't just do stuff like that because POTUS asks for it
