    I can’t believe what I’m watching. This is epic

    I’m not sure England can defend like this for 26mins, eventually Mexico should score as there is no outlet

    I am so impressed they’ve won that. Full respect for that. Redeemed themselves after that dire showing against Ghana. This could be one of England’s greatest World Cup performances. What a game :)

    Very tense but incredible game. Going down to 10 men at only 54 minutes in I wasn’t confident we’d hold the lead but very impressed we did.

    That was so exciting, I didn’t think I would write this about England 😆 So much happened in this game. I’m so impressed with how they fought to win this game. Really really good

    Goodnight :)

    That was one heck of a nerve wracking game and fair play to Mexico they battled till the final whistle. Now we gotta go through it again on Saturday night but it will be at a sensible time so we should be able to go to bed either 12am or perhaps 1am lol. How much more can our nerves take lol. Lets hope it's coming home.

    What a game that was! Very tired today though after staying awake for it but was soooo worth it! Jude Bellingham can really do it all. Norway next.

    Afternoon all,

    After last night's thrills and spills, what are we predicting for tonight's last-16 games?

    8pm (BST): Spain (@Scooby222 and @ripple) v Portugal (@luvpink and @mellybobs)

    1am (BST): United States (@Shar17on) v Belgium (@Richard_Scope)

    Who's advancing?

    What. A. Game.

    Seriously wow! When I saw kick off had been delayed an hour I wasn't certain I'd stay up but I am so glad I did. What a game. Honestly edge of my seat the entire match. Even if we'd lost I would be saying it was an incredible game!

    How we kept the lead with 10 men is beyond me, especially as Mexico were so strong and had the momentum.

    Absolutely one of my favourite games ever, honestly.

    Yep and I'm so glad I did! I would have watched the replay but its just not the same as watching it live.

    Predictions for tonight:

    Spain and Portugal will be a tough one. I'll guess Portugal.

    Belgium for the 2nd win (and then the US after Trump makes FIFA overturn the end result)😂😂😂😂

    Great Game I recorded the game but at about 4.30 this morning I could hear people honking thier car horns so I guessed that we won. If we play like that on Saturday and for the rest of the tournament we may have a chance of winning.

    Spain to beat Portugal, after both sides fall over a lot and roll around on the grass in agony for no apparent reason.

    Belgium, please please beat the USA!

    😁
