Can England beat Mexico? (Can anyone beat France?)
Hello, yes, the World Cup is going on and the first ever Round of 32 comes to a close. Lots of games and we talk about some but not all of them. England got past the Democratic Republic of the Congo aka the DRC, but not in an overly convincing manner - what next for our lovely boys as they climb the heights of the Estadio Ciudad de México aka the Azteca more than 2,000m above sea level. France also make use of having all the best players and look very nice, while Paraguay cause an upset as the Germans are written off.0:43 - Obligatory refereeing discussion5:23 - Shadow the Hedgehog8:43 - ENGLAND12:55 - There's always a bigger fish13:45 - More England38:52 - Belgium v Senegal41:50 - Paraguay v Germany50:01 - Round of 16 Preview53:53 - France being fluidWant us to answer your questions?
