Just again, judging by that very small sample size, they're kind of happy that it's England as well.
It's going to be a much tougher match for them, but it's a proper World Cup occasion.
OK, starting with the most prosaic thing, Mexico's team.
The defence is great.
The two centre-backs, Johan Vasquez and Cesar Montes, really impressed by them.
There's a little midfielder, kind of a little scrappy-do fella called Eric Lira, who I think is very impressive.
So I had a kind of theoretical briefing on it before I spoke to a physiologist, an expert in exercising at altitude, who kind of studies cyclists and footballers and runners a few months ago.
And he said, obviously, when we talk about altitude, we think about Bolivia, we think about 4,000 meters and the extreme cases.
And I wanted to talk to him because Mexico City is about half that, about 2,200.
So...
Studies show that anything above 1500 can make a difference to athletic performance.
There's less oxygen in your blood.
Sprints, you can still sprint, but in the period after you sprint, so like this is one of the metrics they use, in the five minutes after you do an intense piece of running, your distance goes down and you're less likely to do another intense run.
They did.
They did.
And as you say, they've got strengths in areas where they can have weaknesses.
So like seeing Sipenda go against Jed Spence.
Yeah, like you said, Julian Quinonez looks to be in really good form.
And yeah, he's not the only one.
Raul Jimenez has been very good holding the ball up, troubling defenders.
