Papers now saying this morning that the England game time isn’t going to be moved after all and it’s back at the original time in the middle of the night.
B-gger. Will just have to go back to the original plan of recording it and doing a “Bob and Terry” in the morning and avoiding any possible news sources till I switch it on. |
Good news for us on this side of the pond going to a watch party Sunday evening with a bunch of Poles and a few Mexicans 7pm is perfect.
FIFA were getting serious flack for attempting that time change normally they push it back ( see Mexico V Ecuador ) or wait it out this weather is a regular occurance in this location.
England are facing enough B.S right now plus fans flying in mid morning would have missed it .
Just checked StubHub the ticket broker site for this battle holy fc*k the prices are disgusting no way a regular Joe could pay that pretty shameful IMO |  | | |

I see the England team are getting the same noisy bollocks from the locals the Rs got in Cardiff the night before the play off final. Expect the hotel alarm to go off at 2am. |  | | |

Apparently they were trying to keep the location of the hotel secret. Well, here's a tip: don't go rolling around in a coach with 'England' emblazoned on the side in metre high letters.
They've had long enough to figure all this out given it this tie was such a strong possibility, you know, maybe put the players in different locations or anonymous apartments. |  |

Is that all. We're expecting 37C today, rising to 39 mid week. |  |

I think the game should be played at a time that suits the English public.
We invented it, ffs. | |

Apparently the ball moves differently at altitude. Faster and further. I hadn't considered that, but it makes sense. |  | | |

I must have heard the word ‘altitude’ more in the last three days than the rest of my life combined but nothing on who England should pick for the opponent/conditions or how Mexico will set up. A few journalists who could have been doing some sports journalism rather than posting their Strava 5km to tell people it’s harder for a middle-aged man to run around Mexico City than Hyde Park. | | | |

Actually, if you think about it, it's an affront we have to play foreign teams at all to win the World Cup given it's our game. | |

And why are we travelling halfway around the world? They should all be coming here, we invented it. A local game for local people. |  | | |

That's why we didn't enter the first three in 1930, 34 and 38. | | | |

Isn't there an Olympic long jump record that's stood for decades since the Olympics was in Mexico? Pickford will probably score the winner. | | | |

It stood about 25 years but Mike Powell beat it long ago.
Just looked it up, Beamon’s 8.90 stood 1968-91 when Powell jumped 8.95m in Tokyo…still the record. [Post edited 5 Jul 23:30]

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but the game is being played at altitude and this might affect the players. |  | | |

Another hour to wait.
Quansah and Konsa in defence. Tricky commentating moments to come. |  |

Bloke on the train insisted we are going to win 3-0, so I'm going to go with that. Kane 2 and Bellingham the other one. | | | |

Not mine mate. I've dragged the wife and kids to a bar to watch it, there's a giant Mexico flag hanging up and they've got Telemundo on, it's all in Spanish! |  | | |
