In the small hours of Monday morning England defeated Mexico’s mighty Azteca. Three goals and a battling defensive performance means that the Three Lions are into the quarter finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Next up for Thomas Tuchel, Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and the team are Norway.
England will take on Erling Haaland and co at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium. Three Lions fans will be glad to hear that the kick-off time is much more sensible than the round of 16: the quarter final will start at 10pm UK time. The Mexico game ended up starting at 2am, which left a lot of people looking fairly bleary-eyed at work on Monday morning.
