How have you seen their tournament? I imagine, you're still in Mexico City, I imagine that nation is still incredibly proud of this team.
7:15
Oh, absolutely.
7:16
I think they appreciate, just as much as England do, that they have been part of one of the great World Cup occasions, and a brilliant run to this point.
7:24
I mean, the fact they came into this game without conceding a goal, with having that incredible win over Mexico last, uh, over Ecuador, sorry, last week, that was so sort of relentless and fizzing from start to finish, that, uh, they are incredibly proud.
7:38
I mean, I know how hopeful they've been.
7:40
They've had this slogan that sort of developed throughout the tournament, ECC, which literally means sort of, what if, yes, but really, like, what if it's this time? What if, you know, this thing that you've always dreamed of is going to happen? And there has been a real hope that this team is capable of going a long way, despite the fact that pre-tournament they weren't particularly fancied, they weren't seen as one of the great Mexican sides.
8:00
But they've really come together to create something bigger and better than themselves.
8:22
How far do you think England can go in this tournament? What will the comedown be like from this game, which it was one of the greats? Can they, you know, get their heads back [laughs] in the game in time for that match against Norway?
