That is an Epic win, one of the best ever for England given the circumstances and everything against them on the night. Well done lads!!

Most excited I have been at 4am on a Monday morning. Although there was that time I was kidnapped by the Swedish netball team

Well done England. Put a proper shift in and should be proud of themselves.

Not sure how I'm meant to sleep now. My heart's been pumping for the last 20 minutes.

Great effort to hold on.

As Saka was replaced, I wondered if Gordon could have gone. Just for him to earn the penalty, that made the difference.

He and Rice were closing down and blocking right to the whistle. Lots of hard work to keep focused under a ton of pressure. No play acting from Mexico, when they knew they had to get a goal.

Bellingham also superb. Getting Burn on, also proved  to be important.

I'm not a fan of Wonderwall (or Oasis in general), but if it means we never have to put up with Sweet fucking Caroline ever again then I'm okay with that.

Coincidentally, my friend recently bought Neil Diamond's old Volvo on the internet...

Fair play to Tuchel, the defensive subs were excellent. Burn, Stones, even Djed was half decent. Also Rice was on a booking for the second minute and managed that brilliantly. 

I think if that had gone to extra time we'd have lost. Thankfully the Mexicans ran of ideas. 

I fancy Quesadillas tomorrow now.

Norway have their Viking drum and rowing boats, we have Karaoke Oasis. It works for us.

Jordan Henderson injured himself and he wasn't even playing. Fell over an advertising hoarding and was stretchered off.

This game had everything. Great entertainment. 

And now... bed. If the adrenaline lets me sleep.

I'd totally forgotten he was in the squad! Sure he has played RB for Newcastle before, could do a lot worse than putting him in there for the next one, not sure why he hasn't been talked about more as an option as wouldn't let anyone down in my opinion.

If you're in a battle, there's nobody better to call on than Dan Burn. He's very underrated.

What an epic night!

And I can now say out loud what I'd be quietly thinking for an hour or two....Mexico aren't very good and didn't really trouble us. 🤫

Get in there - not sure I can sleep now.

Was gonna say we will struggle in next one after the amount of effort and energy we put into that but at least the Norway QF is not til Saturday evening so decent recovery time. 👍

Tuchel having a massive pop at the officials... That's not going to go down well with our friends at FIFA, is it...?

Did cross my mind that he could now be in trouble for questioning the impartiality of the officials.

Fantastic. A lot of ghosts and demons put to bed with that epic win. Impeccable performance and effort. 
 

The penalty against Kane was soft as a FIFA brown envelope.

Now what's going to happen with the red card? Surely it has to be suspended for a year the same as the USA one?

Now that Trump heads FIFA anything's possible.
