France were 3-0 up.

Yeah.

A huge prospect.

I was talking yesterday about just how scary I actually find that potential round of 16 game against either of these opponents and Mexico.

To be honest, I was sort of fancy in Ecuador yesterday just because of how defensively solid they are.

But Mexico have gone and done that to a side who they've not conceded twice in more than two years, scored two goals against them.

And I think it's, you know, home advantage.

Obviously, we all know it's a big thing.

We all know it's a big thing at a World Cup for a host nation.

But I think even more so if you're at an iconic venue like the Azteca.

I hate the phrase, but a cathedral of football.

If there is a cathedral of football, this is it.

It's a hugely intimidating prospect.

I think that place, which should be hosting the final, but that's maybe another conversation.

I think that elevates what is, you know, not a perfect Mexico team to just real intimidating opposition.

The altitude as well is a huge factor.

They are a serious prospect for whoever faces them in the next round, whether that is England or DL Congo.

I think on commentary they were saying it was the best one and I was like, I don't know if it's quite in that conversation, but top five.

Excellent.

Mine is England versus Tunisia World Cup 98 in Marseille.
