Wow. WOW. That Mexico-England match has been hyped for a long time now and it lived up to its billing. Fantastic, heart-stopping match of football. Worth staying up late for. Also, Norway was pretty good too.

Here’s your daily recap and upcoming matches for today.

Day 24 Recap

Brazil 1-2 Norway

Goals: Neymar [PK] (90+10’) | Haaland (79’, 90’)

Erling Haaland is inevitable.

Mexico 2-3 England

Goals: Quinones (42’), Jimenez [PK] (69’)

This was every bit as fun, challenging, and exciting as I hoped it would be. From the red card on Quansah to the two penalties,

the heroic English defending and the relentless attack of Mexico, this match had it all. The altitude did seem to have an impact on the English, as they were all sucking wind by the end. And the officiating was exceptional. What a treat to watch!
