Nobody is happier with this result than the Mexicans! They are absolutely licking their chops to get England at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. Where the altitude is 7,220 feet. And I can't wait for that one!! 8-)

You worry about Bosnia, leave us England fans to worry about Mexico.

Oh, I'm worried about Bosnia. USA will need to go into that with the right mentality.

My comment about England going to the Azteca was not meant to be a slam. I'm just curious how England will handle it. For context, the USA has NOT handled it well over the years. We have exactly one friendly win there. Zero wins in actual competition. I think it's a much more difficult environment than anything England have to deal with in WC qualifying.

Mexico is our arch rival. So I will be rooting for England in that match. 8-)

This, exactly.

Unless you’ve experienced it you can’t imagine just how rough a Mexican crowd can be, and my only experience with them was at a game in Los Angeles. I can only imagine what Azteca is going to be like.

I will be rooting hard for England but it it’s going to be a very difficult game.

Missed 20 minutes of the second-half as we had a meal booked at 6.45pm, I saw the Kane winner & final ten minutes on my phone.

Where would be without Harry Kane?

My dream matchup came to pass and I'll be in the Azteca with my Mexican cousin-in-law for the game on Sunday. Couldn't care less what the result ends up, just happy to experience the atmosphere and to watch England in the Azteca; the source of my earliest footballing memory from 1986 when I was 7 years old (England v Argentina).

The altitude will be tough on the England players. I've travelled to Mexico City at least twenty times and you do feel the altitude whenever doing anything vigorous.

Poor when our international team is relying on one man.

Given some of the players Belgium have had over the last 10-20 years they've achieved sod all.

Must be one of the biggest underachieving teams.

Nah, walk in the park for USA. They struggled in qualification and not top 30 in Europe. You should win at home

The main problem there was not having a good/top manager
