Key Points

  • World Cup 2026: Anthony Gordon says it's 'just a bit of a joke'.

  • Anthony Gordon remains central to England's plans.
The viral moment in which former Mexico coach Javier Aguirre swore at England winger Anthony Gordon was later described by Gordon as "a bit of a joke" and a compliment. The incident happened during a first-half hydration break when Aguirre and two Englishmen crossed paths — first with Jude Bellingham and then with Gordon near the touchline at Azteca Stadium. According to Gordon, who moved from Newcastle United to Barcelona this summer, "I remember that. It was a bit of a joke. In the heat and tension of the game, it became a bit of a joke. I just ran a full-back down the line so it was a compliment from him as well. I took it that way." (translation from the original statement). That episode was just one of many funny moments from the dramatic last-16 match that ended 3-2 in England's favour. Jude Bellingham scored twice to put England 2-0 up, before Julian Quinones hit back for co-hosts Mexico. There was controversy when Jarell Quansah was sent off, but England restored their two-goal lead with a penalty converted by Harry Kane. Raul Jimenez responded to make it 3-2 from a spot-kick, but England's lead remained until the tense finish.

With the win, England are set to face Norway in the quarter-final on Saturday, 11 July (22:00 BST). Attention also looked to the person of Javier Aguirre, a manager with a 31-year career in which he led teams such as Atletico Madrid, Mallorca and Espanyol. According to reports, Aguirre has stepped down and has been replaced by Rafael Marquez as Mexico's coach after his stint with the team in the World Cup. Gordon outlined how he felt about the coach: that Aguirre seemed like a good guy and that he often talked to Gordon and Jude during games. Small jokes and interactions like this also provided some light relief in a very intense international match, and became part of clips that quickly went viral on social media following the match's conclusion. The cursing scene—along with other hilarious moments like Kane's post-match interview with his voice gone and John Stones pretending to be hurt—highlighted the unique emotion and drama of the World Cup at the Azteca Stadium.

What's next

This match will be an important test for England as they continue to aim for success in the World Cup 2026.
