World Cup 2026

Henderson is the exact kind of try hard who would do both of those things as an unused sub.

[Shogun]

Just saw the match back. Sounds like an absolute mad one and tbf a hell of a performance to get through that.

Tuchel really fucked that RB position, didn't he?

[blueToffee]

Sidelining TAA presumably due to concern about him being a defensive liability, then there being nothing but a series of liabilities at right back is something of an irony.

I imagine all we have left is playing Konsa there and putting in another CB unless James is actually going to be fit again.

Don’t think it’s too hyperbolic to say it must be ranked as one of the all time performances from England in the World Cup given the circumstances. Certainly must be among the most memorable given the location and conditions.

I’ve been loathed to give Gordon much credit of late, but he really was essential to the result tonight too.

Crazy game. Fantastic to grind out that result.

[Goaljira]

Jesus Christ. What a game.

Absolutely heroic stuff given the location, conditions, and then the developing game situations.

Pickford, Bellingham, Rice, Gordon all other worldly.

Absolutely no way I'd have got to sleep after that if I'd stayed up!

I think the unsung heroes are those of you who stayed up, enjoyed reading this back.

What a result!

Also, Kane sounded like that Darren Cann, the referee in the BBC studio, in that interview

I was flabbergasted when I say what he looked like.

Harry Kane turning into the lovechild of Alan Ball and Darren Cann was an unexpected delight

[sam of the south]

Superb that. I was 10 watching Maradonna do us in that stadium 40 years ago and was heartbroken, different team of course but genuinely made up to see them go there and play, fight like that ...and hold on. Superb.

I was 10, as well.

Happy 50th for this year, brother

Just watched it, completely unspoiled (thankfully).

One of the greatest games of football you could ever hope to witness. Fantastic from both teams. Epic setting, epic atmosphere, epic game.

Also thought the referee had an incredible game, given how difficult it was and how much pressure was on him. Got every big decision right and kept a lid on a febrile game.
