Maybe this will be the song for the players and fans together after the Azteca game… [Link]

DO- you have to be near your next WC venue at least 36 hours before ko, so whilst your idea is sound, the people running/ruining the game say no.

Whilst the fans will use Viagra eye drops,

OI - the whole secondary market thing is a total farce - gig tickets in particular are subject to this, with ludicrous price hikes and the risk of being scammed… I have never, and would never, buy a gig ticket on the secondary or resale market - if you miss out, you miss out. It’s funny that there are even people who claim to have spares for Glastonbury, for example, when that’s literally not a possibility, since your actual photo is literally on the ticket itself - the chances of being able to blag your way in or buy such a ticket and look like the person on that ticket are infinitesimally small.

Badum tish Trigg - made me chuckle :)

Hash - even so, to lose just 2 from 87 at the Azteca is still pretty impressive. Hopefully England can make it 3 from 88… There’s some talk about arriving a few hours before the game and not being affected by the altitude until much later - I know nothing about the science, but I guess it’s an option? I did wonder whether they’d have been doing some sort of altitude training already, given that this match was always a possibility - maybe Tuchel is being economical with the actualité when he says they won’t be prepared… The Mexican fans apparently kept the Ecuador players awake from outside their hotel much of the night before their game - let’s hope for better security around them than that, and watch out for dodgy enchilada…

I use Viagra to help with gout.

Alan - might stiffen our resolve!

Top gear use viagra to help with altitude in Peru iirc

How sorry should we feel for people who buy World Cup tickets on the secondary market and then the tickets don't turn up? [Link]

A quick look around shows that diamox is indeed a banned substance but that the England team may apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption given the reason for wanting some.

Tuchel has said their doctors have said that they just don’t have enough time to acclimatise and I know that for some that acclimatisation period leaves you feeling pretty shit so no training, not eating properly and generally feeling down. So probably best to avoid it altogether and get in for the game then get away again.

As soon as the Panama match finished, England should have flown to Mexico City to acclimatise - only flying back to Atlanta on day of the game. If they'd lost to DR Congo, no harm done, but now they have just 3 days to acclimatise to playing at over 7,000' above sea level. You need at least a week to be fully acclimatised.

Also people keep banging on about Mexico's record there but am not sure the opponents they have beaten are all that

Mexico have won every game so far and also not conceded? Maybe they haven't really been tested yet and maybe they will capitulate under the pressure of playing at home in front of 85000 Mexicans in a world cup knock out game. I would expect them to to come at us and maybe it will be similar to the Croatia game rather than the last three but the altitude will make it harder for England as the game goes on so maybe we need to go 2-0 up early and then slow the game down, park the bus, tippy tappy, take ages over throw ins, goal kicks etc

If we play like we have in the last 3 games Mexico will bend us over. Our defence is shocking

All good calls for WC players to have played against us at PL. Also, Martinelli and Saliba - latter was sent off too!

Mark L, I see you were on Good Morning Britain again. Won't belong before you get your own radio show promoting Harry Kane!

Wasn't me, Sir. It was ok when I last saw it. Must've been those pesky gremlins wot seem to lurk on here.

Could do a Horlicks and Wurther's promotion, plus bring yer kids for a quid deal.

As the only member of this guestbook who has seen a Mexico vEngland game in the Azteca……

I doubt the club will be showing the Mexico game:-)

Thanks for the work Bert and welcome back all.

Morning all. Don't doubt we're offering £3.49 to Wycombe for Tilley, and we're wondering why they're knocking us back...

Konsa doesn't have the same ring to it as Tonka does
