Commentary Team are so bloody pious, football is so sanitised, they seem disgusted at any contact.

There was only really the Rabiot foul that looked heavy but they didn't show that again. Rest have been niggly little flicks and digs, standard Soith American stuff.

Yet they'll eulogise about Keane and Viera.

Hardly the Battle of Santiago, but enjoyed that.

Nice to see Warnock so rattled.

I think it was insane that, shithousing is fine but that was embarrassing.

Glad they were getting laughed at cos it was pathetic tbh

Ref needs to be investigated haha how the fuck did not one of them get booked

Embarrassing from Paraguay and the officials to not get a yellow, whilst France had 3 booked, I actually wanted an extra half n hour .... actually enjoyed the antics as long if the ref had done his job too.

Nothing against it me. Too many teams happy to get battered 0-4 and make it easy to other teams these days.

Why is a Paraguayan petulantly flicking Mbappe's shinpad while on the floor shithousery and Mbappe spinning round and screaming on the floor being lauded as the epitome of serenity and good grace.

The examples they are showing of Paraguay are really not that bad are they.

More starfucking by the commentary for Mbappe on this occasion. Yes Paraguay should have picked up a couple of yellows but, honestly, no one was at serious risk of injury in that game.

I rather enjoyed it. :D

At least he didn’t curl up on the penalty spot like a toddler having a tantrum, that would’ve been outrageos… :whistle:

What do we reckon then, are England going through tonight?

Feel like normally when there's a lot of noise and a lot of "The altitude" "The Azteca record" type of media storm that in the end the favourites end up coming on top anyway. Mexico do have those factors in their favour but, you know, England also have the likes of Kane and Bellingham in their favour.

Having said that, I do feel like England will lose this. I've been really unimpressed with them since the Croatia game and the worrying thing is they haven't improved as the tournament has gone on, the defensive structure looks as bad as it did in the first game.

Mexico have won every game (albeit not great opposition) and haven't conceded a goal, so with a brilliant atmosphere very likely then I feel like they can pull off a famous win.

Obviously it was only friendlies but we've also seen this England team struggle with Senegal and Japan, so it's not as though they always beat this level of opposition.
