11 v 10 it's not over for Mexico

Don't know if that is the rules but that would be unlikely to be given as a foul anywhere else on the pitch so it seems nuts that it is given as a penalty.
 
This park the bus stuff doesn't seem great, why kick it back to the Mexican goalie when you have a clean possession

Gotta have patience. Unfortunately England has been backed into a corner being a man down. It would be little difference with 11 except they may have had more autonomy for the counter and we may yet get some counters.

If they can finish this defensively, it will be a lauded workman like performance. England have been criticized this WC but this has been a great effort given the difficulty of the whole thing in this city.

3-3 and we are fucked though.

I think if you just go for it you also run down the clock and have opportunity to dictate the flow of the game more. And can draw penalties etc.

Parking the bus just gives the other team repeated shots on goal.

England don't have the players with the pace to do that unfortunately.

Mexico wants any tug or bump to be rewarded with a foul.

England has been doing great so far. I feel a lot more encouraged just from what I've seen the last 10 minutes. It's tough but this is what separates the nations and quality. John Stones is a good vet to help anchor this.
