Was this the night England announced themselves as genuine World Cup favourites? Wayne Rooney and Sam Allardyce debate whether the win over Mexico was England's biggest tournament statement, why Thomas Tuchel got the big calls right and what it means for England's World Cup hopes. Was Jude Bellingham's display one of England's greatest World Cup performances? Rooney explains why he gave him 10/10, reveals what Tuchel learned at PSG and why this England side looks mentally stronger than ever. Plus, Wayne reveals why he could soon be rowing the Hudson River after a bold World Cup prediction, previews Norway, reflects on Gareth Southgate's legacy and explains why he believes England can go all the way.
