My friend offered me a spare ticket to watch Japan vs Mexico Semi Final at Wembley. We got to do a Mexican wave amongst Mexican fans

Anyone know why the Mexican Wave was so called as it originated in California not Mexico!

First time I saw it was the 84 LA olympics. Some of the early games in the Mexico 86 were poor then the wave would start up to lighten the crowd. Became a thing in that World Cup along with John 3.16

Such a shame. Don't think we have played them before and that many of our fans will have been able to watch that historic club.

Intrigued as to how the fixture came about.

Is any match at the Hive ever truly behind closed doors?

There's always a vantage point if you just so happen to be passing by if you fancy a Starbucks :whistle:

Dean was a trainee at Sheffield Wednesday back in the 90's so probably has a friend involved at Sheffield FC.

Be interesting to see if any of the new players play as technically they are still contracted to their previous clubs so probably not covered by any of the clubs insurances.

The manager of Sheffield FC Vill Powell and DB are very close friends that's how the fixture came about

There's an interview with Dean Brennan spread over a few tweets from Ian Abrahams (Moose) — and, unless I'm misreading, there's a home friendly against Liverpool pencilled in Sat 26th July on the whiteboard...
