“Daaaaamn!❤️❤️❤️” one user wrote in the comments.
“Hello,” another beckoned.
Like most of this year’s hotter World Cup spectators to go viral, she’s probably fake.
England Come Out On Top In What Could Be The Game Of The World Cup, And Just Barely
The match itself delivered plenty of drama.
Kickoff at the Estadio Azteca was delayed because of thunderstorms before England raced into a two-goal lead. Jude Bellingham struck twice in just two minutes, giving Thomas Tuchel’s side control of the contest.
Mexico answered before halftime through Julian Quinones and continued to push after the break.
England’s task became even tougher when Jarell Quansah was shown a red card early in the second half. Despite playing with 10 men, Harry Kane converted a penalty to restore England’s two-goal advantage. Mexico pulled another goal back from the spot through Raul Jimenez, setting up a tense finish. Jordan Pickford would produce several key saves as England held on for a 3-2 victory.
The victory booked the Three Lions a place in the World Cup quarterfinals for the third straight tournament.
Norway reached the last eight for the first time in its history after upsetting Brazil 2-1. Erling Haaland scored both goals, including a trademark header from an Andreas Schjelderup cross, before adding a late second to eliminate the five-time world champions.
England and Norway will now meet in Miami with a place in the World Cup semifinals on the line. England will be looking to slow down Haaland, who enters the quarterfinal as the tournament’s joint-leading scorer, while Norway will try to continue its historic run.
