England Mexico

Englnd 1 up

English look decent with the ball but absolutely murder without it, IMO they'll struggle against the better teams.

Mexico have just missed two good chances

Mexico have absolutely dominated.

Awk 2-0 this is so undeserved and it was a handball.

The funny thing is though England will convince themselves that they've actually played well but so far they have been outplayed at home to an apparently weak Mexico side at Wembley.

Another Mexico chance missed

Hoping this lures them into a false sense of security, if they concede possesion like this against the likes of Brazil, Spain, Holland etc they'll get spanked IMO, they won't be gifted goals like they've got tonight for sure anyway.

Hope they bang in a few more. Imagine the press, pundits and hooligans. Will be even sweeter when they get pumped at the WC

MEXICO ARE FAST WEE GITS EH?

[Cameron1875]

Its hard to believe how bad some of England's players are but the commentators just refuse to criticise.
Johnson and Carrick are hopeless which makes the fact 18 mill was spent on them each even more incredible. Leighton baines pace is an issue and I've never been a fan of Walcott being honest.

The Mexicans are a decent side but if they gift goals like the ones they have then they won't go far in the WC.

Are we still talking about the world cup?

The knob end commentating just said something along the lines of.. "if it keeps going like this imagine how good a world cup it could be", they've been absolutely pish!

Who else are england playing in friendlies in the build up to the world cup?

The media might. Capello won't. The players won't be in any doubt about the siginifcance or otherwise of this performance..................no matter how much we want them to get carried away.

YASSSSS GOAL MEXICO

[Cameron1875]

oye oye cmon the mexicans

The commentators canny believe it

[Calvin]

What was a 'tight, tight' call about that?

Mon the Mexicans

[Russdoorsfan71]

Think the main thing to remember here is that the scoreline in these types of games mean zip, its more about the performance. Defencivly England have looked solid and compact, if not alittle shakey under the counter attack at times. The only glimmer of danger going forward so far has been Walcott, but the laddie has the decision making skills of an MSP!

If Engurland think this is good enough to win a wolrd cup I think they may have to think again.

Good to see the Mexicans getting one back before half time.

All walcott has is pace, against some of the poorer sides thats enough, against the top sides they'll deal with him no bother, the likes of the italians and germans know how to deal with players like that!

Goal mexico, can't believe the commentators said that was a close call whether the ball was over the line or not

Alan Mullery on Sky Sports newsis saying the score should be 2 - 0 to Mexico, totally dominating. 2 - 1

Mullery has been spot on tonight. He recognises how poor this England side is. They have no pace whatsoever outwith Walcott. The USA play like Mexico but much better and i think a wee bet on them winning thier group at 5-1 looks interesting

ITV 1 on HD is available on Sky HD - seemingly it available in England & Wales but not Scotland because of the fall out between ITV & STV

I had no idea thems was the odds. The US will win the world cup one day. They're sending a good squad to SA. I reckon if they can get through the group stage, they might go on to greatness.

I dont realistically think Algeria are up to much.

[Leicester Fan]

You can't take these warm up games too seriously.We didn't play great but that won't be our first choice 11 and we weren't trying that hard.

Really?



I can't see it. 'Soccer' in the US is generally the fourth most popular sport, behind Baseball, Basketball and American Football. In some areas it's even less popular than Ice Hockey. Granted with such a large population they're bound to produce a couple great players in the future but win the World Cup? No chance. The 'David Beckham factor', and with him being argubly the biggest footballing superstar ever, couldn't even sustaine an interest in the game in the States.

I actually agree with that to an extent, the only thing about the game which i found was relevant was that in recent years IMO england have struggled against teams that have a strong midfield and dominate posession and i think there was more evidence of that tonight against a team which probably won't make any impact at the world cup this year.

Considering how good individually your midfield is it's unbelievable how you've never managed to find a combination that works.

although The USA winning the world cup is highly unlikely but 'Soccer' is on the way up. The Beckham idea didnt exactly work the way it was intended but it got alot of money into the game. The gaffer Bob Bradley has the team playing football the way it should be, they finished second in the Confederations Cup earlier this year after deafeating 35 game unbeaten Spain. With a squad like they have I think they will be the dark hourse this year. I predict Quarters for them. USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

Spot on. The game is totally different when the tackles are going in for real. I thought that was a good work out for England last night. A good result along with enough warning signs to prevent complacency setting in. I still reckon the semi-finals is a realistic target for them.

I think the one that featured throughout the qualifiers is as good as we'll get:

Gerrard, Lampard, Barry and a little speedy wasteful right winger (take your pick).

The two in the middle managed to control quite a few of the qualifying games, allowing Gerrard to get forward and link up with Rooney - although we weren't playing against massive opposition, that was still an improvement on the last 15 years!!! Fitness permitting, I expect that midfield to start against the USA.

Can ITV1 HD be "added" to a Virgin Media V+ box using a similar method?
