World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

The Mexico result was a very good one, the performance was good and to win against them in that stadium was an achievement.

However, I'm seeing a lot of "best result ever", "best away performance ever" type of statements.

Are England going slightly overboard on a victory over a good but not great Mexico side?

Where are you seeing these??

That's what Rooney was saying after the Spain game when they showed clips of them celebrating in the dressing room, said they're celebrating way too early when they haven't done anything yet.

Think it is a little OTT but also has to be up there for one of the best performances away (possibly even just generally). Unable to acclimatise and not allowed to just rock up 8 hours ahead or anything so worst possible preparation for altitude. Mexico, ranked as a top 10 side internationally, a difficult team to beat at home. Wasn't stylistically great but there was shape and substance to the England set up that has been missing for a long time.

I'm not sure what performances in the last decade or even this century come close to that. It is sort of the Ince head bandaged game in Italy in 1997 equivalent.
