England advances to World Cup quarterfinals with win over Mexico
Summary

On Sunday, England defeated Mexico at Estadio Azteca to secure their place in the World Cup quarterfinals. The Three Lions are historically one of the tournament's strongest teams, yet they have not lifted the trophy since 1966. In that year, England's lone title came after a remarkable hat trick by Geoff Hurst in the final against West Germany. As they move forward, England aims to break their six-decade championship drought and reach the final again during this summer's tournament.
