Yeah, now we got that detail out of the way.

It was, I mean, a lot of words have been said already, so I can probably only add to them.

I mean, I'm here in my hotel in Mexico City, 24 hours or so on, and you still feel a little bit...

drained almost.

I was with, just before this pod, our good friend and colleague Dave Heitner from The Guardian and a couple of other colleagues too having a spot of dinner who are still here and we were all just looking at each other saying...

We're knackered.

And it was just a game of football that we went to last night.

It was literally edge of the seat, tense stuff for 101 minutes, wasn't it?

And the atmosphere was everything that people say about the Azteca.

It was intense.

It was...

It was thrilling.

It was a real rollercoaster ride as well.

But I think something about it all has been it's been really nice as well.

It's been really jovial and genial.

And the Mexicans, while they were so passionate and into their team and while the noise in there when they scored their goals was wild.

utterly phenomenal and I was at the Ecuador game in the round before and on Tuesday and the noise when they scored those goals was the loudest I've ever heard in a stadium in my life it was astonishing um there was no doubt how partisan they were but the moment they were mingling on my concourse with England fans or in the bars afterwards or before I only saw and heard really lovely things and just in terms of the the hospitality and the way people got on so

So it's all made for a really lovely occasion, actually.

And obviously an all-time classic of a football match that I think has been covered in great depth already.

But I think the England players will have enjoyed their day off today.
