e e e e e e e e and the match day noise at this place is truly special [Music] the and the match day noise at this place is truly special The Pride the passion it adds to a massive sense of occasion the action has already started Jim who do you reckon is pivotal well Peter I'm a huge fan of the Kayo Saka someone always prays for his versatility his attitude and and his cleverness around the pitch he has the potential to excel in in all positions across that front line but I'd personally like to see him as part of a a front three I think he operates best in that area yeah I'm inclined to agree [Applause] well he had a really good run a goal there but the defense just weren't going to let him [Applause] pass [Applause] Gordon and here's Kane Bellingham well the crowd clearly like what they just saw some real non nonsense defending well I'm seeing a very cous approach to defending not a lot in the way of high pressing which is probably seen as a bit too risky just now that's good play [Applause] Belling played out towards the right wing sacka he's got away Sucka goal England he knows it's taken a big and very kind deflection but he is claiming it nonetheless [Applause] [Applause] England get themselves into the lead and that ought to be the trigger for a really exciting and entertaining game from here on out to the left it goes very nicely done looking for the runner showing Good Feet oh good [Applause] ball up to meet it good delivery but no joy well plenty of moving targets to pick out in the Box obviously increases your chances of the ball being met like that by someone England playing here with a nice expansive style yeah with their fullbacks making up the numbers in a back two just need to make sure the backline doesn't become too stretched and face with too much ground to cover Shaw Shaw just like so many of his contemporaries is proving very good at driving forward [Applause] great run on the overlap [Applause] here what a throw in played it again nice interception well timed now it's sacka he's left his man looking for options for movement could quite squeeze that one [Applause] through Saka oh good ball Gordon forson with [Applause] intent oh Super Ball ah such a clever touch whistle gone that's a foul [Applause] there's the shots well he should have done better and he knows it yeah he may have snatched at that a bit even though it was quite close [Applause] he's had a fair tumble under that challenge well this man's contribution is as you would expect proving terrific well having that sort of player in your side is reassuring because the rest of the team knows he can make his influence count at any stage it's simply part of his package when he really wants to this fell scores Here We Go Again Mexico need to get the balance right to sort this out ambition must be complemented by just the right amount of caution and I think the more experienced players can oversee that Stones moved forward and quickly so now it's Kane sacka alexand Ronald oh it's played into the area it's a pretty loose pass could move up a gear here alexand [Applause] Arnold it's Bellingham sends it Forward sha heads it harmlessly behind do I really need to tell you Peter that he has to do better especially from [Applause] [Music] there well there is some activity down on the touch line it seems there's got to be a change and that's the end of that it all started well enough Shaw Mexico still trailing by one and looking here to take it up a notch after the break Bellingham with the delivery England making a fresh attempt to release someone in behind from back to front and this is something [Applause] different great chance decent enough try a more than decent attempt Peter [Applause] [Applause] Stones alexand Arnold shifted up field Bellingham Kane played out to the right Saka receives it in a good position here he's had a sh it's loose and there's a race for the ball and he can clear it away and it's Shaw Great Leap it's run loose who's going to get there your impression so far Jim well the time has arrived to start taking Tak risks they may well be happy just to level this Alvarez Mexico have a free kick [Applause] Mexico are definitely going about this the right way they're coming again and again well the question now is whether they can sustain [Applause] it and that's aimed into the middle Kane good spot he's seen the Run he could be in here face to face with the keeper some terrific running on the ball there those efforts are not going [Applause] unappreciated Alvarez rice has given away a free kick [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] shot could be on oh no those circumventing this [Applause] opponent keep calm and carry on that's the job in a nutshell [Applause] now oo gets good distance on it England surely have to be commended for their drive and desire most teams would be taking the easier defensive route by now [Applause] G Saka oh it's come loose and he's away now it's sacka Kane and it's in and that should do it within sight of the Finish Line complete awareness he understood what was needed and he executed it smoothly Kane really can't believe his look he was allowed so much room when he should have been boxed [Applause] [Applause] in so now we're going to get those changes we have been expecting well for me this was the obvious substitution he'd become just a little jaded and as a result of that he was most likely to make a mistake I think sometimes when the body becomes tired the brain goes with it and I think that's happened in this case England could not have picked a better time to snatch a two-goal lead is there still time for a response well I think if they're going to have any Hope from here they'll need to see their more experienced Lads step up to the plate now well R and the danger is averted danger averted for now gets away from his opponents that is good strength big chance oh just lacked a decent finish [Applause] added time going up here it's 3 minutes chooses to go Cross Field oh shooting chance oh the ball's run loose here whistle gone and they've got themselves a free kick [Applause] [Applause] he's gone for the shot go man and with that the and the match they noise at this place is truly special The Pride the passion it adds to a massive sense of occasion the action has already started Jim who do you reckon is pivotal well
