Another free-kick from England - another failure...

Jimmy Hill
BBC pundit at the Azteca Stadium

"I don't know what Bobby Robson will be thinking at the moment, praying for help from somewhere."

England are 12 minutes away from elimination. And they've not played anywhere near their best...

"From where is the inspiration to come?"

me, external: Aged 11, I was on a Walesby Primary School trip staying at Thorpe Hall, Fylingthorpe. Good times

Mustapha Bello, external: Following this game on BBC as if I am watching it live. I was only Six years old when this game was played. Maradona was amazing.

Chris Waddle has now come out to the right, with John Barnes on the left. England now seeing more of the ball and there's a ripple of danger as a Glenn Hoddle free-kick ends up at the head of Terry Butcher - but he can't generate the power required.

June 1964, that's the last time Argentina beat England. They are 15 minutes away from win number two...

Alan Anderson:, external Can't believe the amount of pass-backs in this game, referee is useless

Charlie Field:, external We're never lucky at World Cups - last time it was Brooking and Keegan being injured and now this.

John Barnes is on in place of Trevor Steven. Two out-and-out wingers now, Gary Lineker's eyes light up...

Chris Waddle keeps running into a cul-de-sac on the left wing. It's a pretty blunt England attack so far as we enter the final 15 minutes...

Jimmy Hill
BBC pundit at the Azteca Stadium

"Argentina have played with more imagination, attacked more and deserve to be in the lead. England are not out of it yet. At the moment, Argentina have no worries because of a two goal lead. England have to take more risks and push more men forward."

John Barnes is now warming up - he's not played since the last day of the season for Watford. Get him on...

If you keep looking at this, maybe one day Peter Reid (number 16) will catch Diego Maradona during his magnificent solo run..., external

Oh great save!

I've been critical of Glenn Hoddle this afternoon but that is a brilliant strike, arrowing in a free-kick which Nery Pumpido has to be at full stretch to push away! Almost the breakthrough.

Chrissy Waddle is out on the left, but his first touch is poor and the ball runs away from him. A goal in the next few minutes, and maybe England fans can still believe.

Diego Maradona is down holding his head after a heavy challenge from Terry Fenwick. Jimmy Hill says 'he wasn't touched' - there's not much sympathy doing the rounds...

Barry Davies' commentary of that wonder goal was good - but this is something else.

I've just listened to Uruguayan Victor Hugo Morales, who has taken it to another level:

"Maradona has the ball, two mark him, he touches the ball. The genius of world football dashes to the right and leaves the third and is going to pass to Burruchaga. It's still Maradona! Genius! Genius! Genius! Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. Gooooooooooal!

"Gooooooooooal! I want to cry! Dear God! Long live football! Gooooooooooal! Diegoal! Maradona!

"It's enough to make you cry, forgive me. Maradona, in an unforgettable run, in the play of all time. Cosmic kite! What planet are you from? Leaving in your wake so many Englishmen, so that the whole country is a clenched fist shouting for Argentina?

"Argentina 2, England 0. Diegoal, Diegoal, Diego Armando Maradona. Thank you, God, for football, for Maradona, for these tears, for this, Argentina 2, England 0."

Chris Waddle is on, in place of Peter Reid. Get it out wide!

Still almost half an hour for England to rescue this. They look completely unlikely to do so to be honest though, Gary Lineker has not had a sniff.
