This match has it all. Goodness.

At this point I’m looking for an equalizer and then someone on Mexico to lose their head and get a red to put it back to even out there. This needs extra time!

Mexico team has so much short man syndrome.

 

[MLawrence]

There’s going to be like 15 minutes of stoppage time, isn’t there?

That referee looks like he’s just about had it with the BS

Mexico seems chippy and always looking to start stuff. And then argue everything. England seem like whiny pricks. Just a lot of very punchable faces. Neither team seem very likeable. But sign me up for extra time and more craziness.

Man what a fun game....i am very glad I don't have a rooting interest. I can just sit and enjoy.

Golden boot for someone who scores on PK?

First time watching Mexico? This is standard operating procedure here haha

Interesting hearing it referred to Azteca so many times when theyve put a focus on calling it by the city's name for other games elsewhere.

Wish they would force the player fouled to kick the PK. Then I can see PK’s counting to your goal total.

Azteca isn’t a sponsor

I think it’s just that they don’t want sponsor names in it. All the IS stadiums have sponsor names.

This game has been a fresh reminder of how much I hate the Mexican team.

Yeah I get that I am just suprised they aren't calling it by the city. Not complaining, just finding it curious.

Well, they haven't been calling BC Place "Vancouver Stadium" either. It's that all of the US stadiums have corporate names that aren't among the World Cup sponsors.

Pretty darn good 10 man defense by England this half.

I watched their last game, so not surprised, but can't claim to be an expert.

Whoever referred to them as playing with small man syndrome nailed it on the head.

I’m exhausted and I’m sitting on my couch. What a game
