Boy, we had a game that went back and forth. England beat Mexico and that's TECCA Stadium. England supplied the red card onslaught. Late in the ball game, Judd Bellingham, Jude Bellingham, scored two goals in a matter of minutes. Really was the difference. And Julian Quinonez struck before the break, but Harry Kane restored it on a two goal lead with a conceded penalty itself the second half also.
So, they get a penalty kick, Kane knocks it in, and then Kane ends up kicking the guy in the restricted area. He gets a penalty kick, and so it's 3-2 with about 14-15 minutes to go. And the way the game was going, you're like, you know what? Hey, watch, this game ended up being 4-3. But that was the final scoring of the match, 3-2 ball game. England faces Norway July 11th in Miami with the place in the semis up for grab.
Ocho, watching this game, I mean, I don't know if I've ever seen a game where the guy scored so quick.

**Chad Johnson** (3:37)
Yeah. I mean, listen, y'all, I think the last time a player for England in the World Cup scored as fast as Julius Bellingham did, I think it was 1966
Matter of fact, that's the last year, the last time England won a World Cup. That's the last time they won a World Cup. So that's the last time someone has scored that fast, that played for England. But I mean, listen, you can't make mistakes, especially on the biggest stage like this. Again, this game is all about moments, specific moments. And listen, your name is cemented in history when you can capitalize on those said moments. Julius Bellingham did do that. And man, it's unfortunate, obviously, I was going for Mexico and I lost a bet too, man.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:17)
Who you bet?

**Chad Johnson** (4:18)
I owed Dez a thousand, man.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:20)
Dez Bryant?

**Chad Johnson** (4:21)
Yeah, man. Yeah, I know Dez probably tweeting me right now too.
