A Norwegian Saint?!

Any good players that Saints should be looking at before they go to an Austrian or German club?

Haaland?

LOL ... night ... I'm done, off I go! 

[Saint_clark]

Absolute shambles. Should have moved it to 19:00 yesterday. The FAs have fucked up massively here, rare win for FIFA.

My alarm just woke me up after going to bed early at 7pm... Could've had an extra hour FFS... Now wide awake...

If only this was known 2 days out and an alternative kick off time proposed. 
 

Oh wait….

Don't be ridiculous mate, you're acting like there's some kind of magical technology that can predict the weather.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Can I sleep for an hour and an half and wake up in time for KO? 🤔😵‍💫😴

[Saint_clark]

Still a chance Reece James will be fit to face Mexico.

[obelisk]

Just woken up after a few hours sleep. Kick-off delayed I see. Also notice that Mexico will be up against Norway next.

Time for a coffee.

I went to bed at 11:30 and set the alarm for 01:00. What a farce this World Cup is. 

[Saint_clark]

They're playing up the hand of god thing. Fucking exorcise those demons lads.

[SNSUN]

Say it after me...

[Patches O Houlihan]

C'mon lads 🤞

[SNSUN]

Come on lads eh? Let's win in 90 minutes so some of us can get some kip. 

[SNSUN]

Yellow for Rice. Not a good start that. I 

[obelisk]

Surely that yellow card can be suspended. 

[Jonnyboy]

On a mini bus from the airport heading to the resort on the med, hoping to catch the last half hour in the hotel bar. 

[die Mannyschaft]

Fast start by Mexico and gamesmanship will be on display. England got to be careful. Two huge kicks by Pickford into pen area. 

[die Mannyschaft]

Corner 

[whelk]

At least it looks like the ref isn’t going to bottle it

[Saint Pete]

Great save from Pickford that.

They're gonna play dirty. Can already see They're going to crowd out Bellingham and aim for Quansah unsurprisingly. 

[whelk]

Gordon looking much better

[die Mannyschaft]

England breaking ok, pace is there when needed.

He was poor in the first game but deserves this start over Rashford. Just needs to do what he does best and run.

[Turkish]

Did anyone mention how important it was to get through the first 20 minutes?

England look much better than expected with all the crowd, altitude, Mexico never lost since stone age etc 

[Patches O Houlihan]

Gordon seems to have the lungs to play at pace

On the BBC text commentary they have a few times.

[SNSUN]

Not a bad start from England but Mexico coming into it more.

A low block, right?

[whelk]

Get the fuck in

[trousers]

GOOOOOAAAAALLLL 

[Turkish]

Yes!!!

[obelisk]

Just the ticket, England.

[SNSUN]

If it ain't Jude or Kane, it ain't happening 

And thankfully it is Jude!

Juuuuuuuuuude

[Turkish]

A winger that gets to the line and puts crosses in who’d have thought it….

[AlexLaw76]

ffs, just had to throw my pint over someone....

[SNSUN]

And another!

[trousers]

2-0!!!

[obelisk]

Nice cross from Saka. All it needed was a chip.

Now it's two.

[whelk]

Wow! Fucking lovely

[Turkish]

Yeeeeesss!

[AlexLaw76]

That is my 2nd pint gone...

[SNSUN]

It's half time, and we're 2 nil down to the bloody English!
