It looks like Mexico is showing the US how to NOT play against Belgium tomorrow. They have to be incredibly disappointed.

Let the riots begin
you can't exactly riot when you were up a man for 40 minutes - england just took it to them on their own grass - lannister is so good

At least in the stadium it looks like the crowd has risen to the moment and is losing with class. I am far from certain they would have treated a US team as nicely.
Ok, now how about US - England in the semis? All we have to do is beat two top ten teams to get there.

Well, I watched my first game, and I admit I was cheering for England (78% per the DNA test), but I never expected an actual victory. I thought Mexico would dominate.
thorway vs lannister gonna be fun
Number 18 for England probably runs about a 4.4 forty!

England played great a man down. Mexico had no ideas other than launching balls into the box. England were inviting them to do that. I thought Mexico played great but were not clinical and Pickford robbed Raul Gimenez of what looked like a sure goal.
Bellingham was the best player. And to be fair he is finally showing his potential for England. He looked like he was born to be a mountaineer. A lot of guys looked tired but he never stopped.

Mexico just seemed sloppy compared to earlier games. I know playing a high quality opponent doesn't help but I didn't see the confidence. It was more like kick and hope something good happens.
Yeah I thought before the red card mexico were fine. They just got sucked into a wide game when England put all their defenders in the box. The penalty to go down 3-1 killed them. That can’t happen. Gordon was hustling but Mexico just had 2 or 3 moments where they switched off for a few seconds and it really hurt them. It’s a simple game at the end of the day. If you score 3 goals on 4 chances you will usually win.
Tomorrow is gonna be fun. I can’t imagine that game being as good as this one was. We’ve had some great games. I’m loving this World Cup.At least in the stadium it looks like the crowd has risen to the moment and is losing with class. I am far from certain they would have treated a US team as nicely.

Shows how little I know about soccer rules. I thought this one was less clear than Folarin's because the English player got the ball first but I watched an explanation and then read in the Independent and htey both said the same thing the England one is a clear red card because even though he got the ball he came in spikes up. Folarin made contact with the spikes but they weren't up it was a flukey land his foot on the back of the guys legs.
Note the explanation I saw said they were both red cards, but the English guy was more obvious.

Certainly wasn't a star but the 17 year old Mora I thought he held his own today? Played 60 minutes, a few times got overpowered a bit but didn't seem to be in over his head. At his age I was pretty impresed
