Mexico has finally broken its World Cup curse, ending a 40-year knockout stage drought. El Tri will take center stage at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City once again as they prepare to face England in the 2026 FIFA World Cup round of 16 on Sunday, July 5.
Mexico's heroes of the day in the round of 32 match against Ecuador were Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez, who each found the net in a nine-minute flurry during the first half. Their goals secured a 2-0 victory, sending Mexico to the quarterfinals for the first time in four decades and igniting celebrations across Mexico.
England is preparing for what may be their toughest test of the tournament so far. Mexico enters the round of 16 with an undefeated record, having scored eight goals without conceding a single one. With the passionate home crowd at the Azteca and the challenging altitude in their favor, sitting 2,200 meters above sea level, Mexico’s advantage extends beyond their performance on the pitch.
England aims to become the first team in history to defeat Mexico at the Azteca in a World Cup match, while Mexico is determined to continue making history and advance even further in the tournament.
