I've grown to like this Mexico team.


I like England too... but also enjoy when they lose because I have a lot of British friends.


Mexico has also not lost in Azteca in a competitve game since 2013. Factor in that, a psychotic home field advantage, Mexicans partying since day 1 of this tourney.....


Heart wants Mexico, head says England.

Give me England, because FUCK the Mexican National Team. Forever and always. 


Baloguns red card is an absolute killer for the Belgium game. We can still win, but that hurts. He has been awesome, and is the only forward we have with ability to take people on 1v1 and finish...plus his off ball runs put Pepi and Wright to shame. He has been in incredible form as well. 2nd best player on the field these 4 games, behind Pulisic only (and argument hes been better, given Pulisic lack of minutes).

I don't agree with it, but whatever we move on. 


Who starts now? Assuming Pepi.

Everyone else has been so good, a 1 for 1 swap is probably the smart move. But, Pepi is such a step down from Balogun, you'd almost want to shift some stuff around and get someone else in there instead of Pepi.

I have less an issue with the actual Red Card as I do the way the rest of that game (and this tournament) has been officiated/VAR'd. It isn't at all in line with that, and that is frustrating.

I’ve watched several hours of the WC and I’ve seen 20 things that looked similar or worse live speed with no red card

I would put in Reyna as a false 9 or even Pulisic into that role just to avoid Pepi who I don’t have any faith in
