England beat Mexico 3-2 If you never watched another game of football it would not matter, last night was the best, well worth getting up for even if it had a 1 hour delay,

Wow, we all knew FIFA is corrupt as anything, but to be so clumsily transparent about it?
One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

That England–Mexico match may end up being my game of the tournament. Great atmosphere, huge swings in momentum, Bellingham doing Bellingham things, England hanging on with ten men... it had just about everything. If someone asked me how to sell football/soccer to a new fan, I'd probably show them that match. What a ride.

Spain–Portugal wasn't nearly as wild, but I loved it for completely different reasons. Two outstanding teams playing chess for 90 minutes, knowing one mistake would decide it. Then... one mistake.
