Yeah, so in Mexico's favour, you've got the atmosphere and the crowd and you've got a good bit of form for them and actually some really good players in the team.
I think pound for pound England's team will be better than Mexico's.
But the altitude is the thing that really interests me.
They were talking about it tonight and saying the two ways to approach it.
One is to go really early, which you can't do because you're elsewhere in the country and you've got games that aren't in
you think they do yeah I don't think I think Mexico are limited to a certain extent but I really like watching them and I particularly like watching them at the Azteca because it does get going one thing Dan Byrne I think would have to start for England given his experience of living at altitude I mean that's a clear advantage very much so plus any players with West Brom experience Stoke Stoke
We were having a discussion about this earlier about Deschamps.
It seems he's almost like he's a bit...
It's like he's a bit demob happy.
He's about to finish in the job, isn't he?
So it's coming to an end and it's as if he's properly learned how to love it at this point.
Obviously, it has had a lot going on this week, but the football itself must be delighting him.
But if you go back not so very long, Deschamps had this reputation as a coach who you could give all the attacking resources in the world to, but he would still create this kind of quite, you know, a team with the reins on and...
Now, and you've got a theory about why this is.
I think he's spoken about this as well.
He's just let the reins go.
And he's shoehorning all these attacking players into his team in a way that's really working.
It's made them so dangerous.
And they're kind of a different France to what he's had previously.
And that's why they are so good.
