  2. 'Altijude' - Third award of tournament for Bellinghampublished at 08:12 BST

    Mexico 2-3 England

    Altijude is currently trending on search engines.

    His two goals may have earned England's number 10 a third player-of-the-match award at this tournament, but his own engine, covering the ground at 2,240m above sea level in the Azteca, is what really powered this Three Lions performance.

    A crucial last-ditch tackle at the end of the first half stopped a certain goal, according to Alan Shearer, who said the Real Madrid forward had been "absolutely everywhere.

    It's two! England have stepped on it.

    Forty years ago it was an Argentinian number 10 that broke England hearts in the Azteca. Tonight it is England's number 10 who scores a double.

    As England fans say Hey Jude, the Azteca is subdued.

    Mexico 2-3 England

    The match momentum graph shows how England scored during periods when they were on top, and how they kept Mexico at bay throughout a dominant second half.

    Mexico had almost 67% of the possession and 20 shots at goal. Five of those were on target.

    But Jordan Pickford et al made sure of the only statistic that counts...

    It wasn't pretty, but we showed character - Pickford

    No-one demonstrated England's mentality more than goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. Here is what he had to say to BBC Radio 5 Live: "That was unreal. You'll never get moments like that again in football.

    "Come to the Azteca, it is once in a lifetime. A bucket-list memory. Everyone talking about altitude. It was us against them. We rolled our sleeves up and we got the victory. It wasn't pretty, but it was bloody tough. You got to roll your sleeves up and dig in.

    "It was an all-round gutsy togetherness performance. That is what we are. We're England and that's what we do.

    "I was in the moment. We all know when we come into pressure situations, I have got that character where I step up and I have got that mindset where I feel unbelievable. That's why I put the hard work in on the training ground and away from the training ground. Moments like that you have got to enjoy."

    On the altitude affecting the ball flight: "It was easier! It was brilliant. I loved it. We did one training session yesterday and I felt good. As soon as I felt the ball in my hands, and tonight in the warm-up. I knew I was in that moment straight away."

    On his saves: "There were two good ones. You talk about being in the right position as a goalkeeper. Making that save, it was a good save, but I made it good because I was in the right position to make that save.

    "To come here to the Azteca and put in a performance like that, I am proud. I was unsure whether to bring him, and I am glad I did. That's a moment he'll remember in his lifetime.

    "It is great. Keep hitting numbers and keep doing stuff. It is a credit to myself. You know what my goal is I am a team player and always have been. I don't care if I let two in. As long as we live tonight. We have got the next chapter."

    England head coach Thomas Tuchel couldn't agree more with your description of his team, Richard:

    "Very proud. We needed everything. It was super difficult. In the moments we thought we catch the momentum, we had setbacks. That is proper mentality."

    On the reaction to setbacks: "This team really mean it. When the going gets tough, they never give up, they never lose belief. It was one step more.

    "We need to take this in. This is Azteca, it's Mexico, a crazy game. We left everything out there, every single one of us. We need to take this in, now it's full steam ahead."

    I’m one of the great many Scots who support England when we (inevitably) go out first - the silent majority. Stayed up last night and well worth it - what a match. England showing class, hunger, drive and real teamwork. Can’t wait ‘til the quarter final!

    It is one of the greatest results in England's World Cup history. Mexico do not lose here. Not on their patch. Not in their temple. They DO tonight.

    A first ever win against a host nation. A first ever win in this arena - 40 years on from the 'Hand of God', the hands of fate have smiled this time.

    Three Lions, 26 heroes.

    Nobody should ever have that much drama at four in the morning.

    My wife said watch the highlights. Couldn’t do it. I’m 53, I remember Spain 82’. I actually enjoyed watching some of it. My 7 year old lad gets up in a minute. Can’t wait to show him the highlights. Very proud of that team tonight.

    No-one was more proud of the England players' performances than manager Thomas Tuchel, who told BBC Radio 5 Live: "What drama from the first minute. What a crazy game. What an emotional roller-coaster. What a national anthem from the Mexican people. I am so proud I was part of it.

    "It was a fight for a long time with 10 men. There is a lot to love about this team.

    "It is too good to be true. When we saw the draw, it was like 'Wow'.

    "It feels like quarter or semi-finals now. Straight away it felt huge. Since we were here in Mexico, it feels like you're a part of something very big and very special. We all gave our very best."

  18. Rice walks tightrope after booking in first minutepublished at 07:27 BST

    Mexico 2-3 England

    If you are watching the game for the first time on BBC Two, you will learn things as you go.

    For example, the fact that Declan Rice was booked for a high boot in the FIRST MINUTE was lost in the mayhem of the following 90 minutes.

    The England midfielder stayed on the field until the very end, producing another display of calm authority, while always walking a disciplinary tightrope...

    I am 78 years young - so have seen England many times, but this game would be in top five great England performances of all time. Had two hours sleep, now up ready to go to golf. Fingers bitten and crossed for what is to come.
