Mexico fall 3–2 to England, World Cup run ends
England edge Mexico 3–2, campaign ends in the round of 16
Your World Cup is over. England beat Mexico 3–2 in the round of 16 on Saturday, and it stings because they were right there (1)(2)(4). England played over 40 minutes with ten men at altitude in Mexico City, and your team pushed them to the very edge (2). John Stones and Jarell Quansah both featured for England in a match that came down to fine margins (1).
The bookings tell the story
Jude Bellingham, Marc Guehi, Nico O'Reilly, and Declan Rice all went into the book against Mexico (3). Four yellow cards. England were rattled. Bellingham was the protagonist for them, but your team made him work for every inch (2).
Henderson breaks arm celebrating
Jordan Henderson fractured his arm during the celebrations after England's win (5). The former Liverpool captain has rejoined the England squad but will not play again this tournament. Small consolation, but that is the chaos your team caused.
