I don't think there have been greater expectations on an African team, perhaps in World Cup history, from back home, you know, with winning AFCON and what they did at the World Cup last time.
And, you know, FIFA rankings in the top eight, as we discussed earlier.
So, yeah, there were expectations for them to get to the quarterfinals.
Yes, they've lost to France, but they probably lost to the eventual winners.
I don't think they could have done much better in this tournament.
No, Mark Gay is out of the game, I think.
I think, has it been confirmed?
Hamstring, I'm hearing.
Which is probably, it's pretty much the one player they didn't want to lose.
for this match up against Haaland, obviously his teammate at club level.
And England's defence is very clearly their weakest area and nothing I've seen in this tournament has convinced me otherwise.
They haven't really come up against a good team yet and I kind of feel like when the first time that they do that, their defence is going to be exposed for what it is, which is a brittle back four that's never played together before.
Well, Mexico still scored two goals.
Jordan Pickford still made two very, very good saves in that first half.
And, you know, the way that England defended in the last 20 minutes, well, anyone can do that to an extent.
You know, you put nine or ten men behind the ball, completely narrow...
Say again, sorry.
You said Big Dan Burnham.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
