If you didn’t watch today’s England vs. Mexico game, you didn’t just miss the game of the tournament—you missed one of the greatest World Cup games ever.
Just imagine it: Mexico produced a sensational first half and completely outplayed England. It got so bad that Pickford had to pull off a miraculous save. Then, out of nowhere, Jude Bellingham struck twice in the 36th and 38th minutes. Mexico responded immediately with a goal in the 41st. Three goals in just five minutes!
The second half was pure chaos. O’Reilly smashed one off the crossbar in the 50th minute, Quansah was sent off in the 53rd, and England had to play the rest of the game with ten men. It looked like the perfect opportunity for Mexico to complete the comeback.
But the madness wasn’t over. England won a penalty in the 60th minute, and Harry Kane buried it to make it 3–1. Then, just six minutes later, Kane himself conceded a penalty, allowing Mexico to pull one back in the 66th minute. The game ended with England hanging on for a dramatic 3–2 victory.
This was the undisputed Game of the 2026 World Cup so far—and one of the most valuable World Cup qualification wins in England’s history. ❤️
