The Athletic | Football(@TheAthleticFC):"What an exhausting half of football. Mexico dominated, England hit them with a ruthless one-two punch, and then Mexico came flying back at them at the end. They could easily be ahead. "I still don't like the England defence, for the fifth time this tournament. I still don't know why John Stones isn't playing. England will surely have to score at least one more to win this because I can't see Mexico not getting another. "England also need to keep the ball better, which they did a bit early on before getting overwhelmed by Mexico's pressure and ending up pinned in their own box. A lot of work for Thomas Tuchel to do here." - @JackPittBrooke Mexico vs England live blog:
