England prepares for World Cup clash against Mexico at Azteca Stadium

Summary

England faces Mexico in the last-16 match of the World Cup this Sunday at Azteca Stadium. The team, managed by Thomas Tuchel, is contending with the high altitude of Mexico City, which poses a significant challenge as they seek to acclimatize in a short timeframe. England, coming off a 2-1 victory over DR Congo, aims to navigate the difficult conditions, including a rowdy crowd expected to support Mexico after their 2-0 win against Ecuador. The match holds historical significance for England, who last played at Azteca during the 1986 World Cup. Tuchel is prepared for the challenges ahead but emphasizes the need for experience in such unique circumstances.
