What they're saying

"
Captain Harry Kane has urged England to “write our own history” at the Estadio Azteca as they look to banish the ghost of Diego Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’. Maradona went down in English football folklore for his Azteca antics 40 years ago as his blatant handball and stunning solo second goal earned Argentina a 2-1 quarter-final win in the 1986 World Cup.
