🏆 Competition: FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16

Mexico enter this blockbuster knockout clash unbeaten and yet to concede, while England arrive after a dramatic 2-1 win over DR Congo, powered by Harry Kane’s late goals. FOX lists the match for Sunday, July 5, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET from Mexico City.

Match Preview

This is not just another Round of 16 match. This is Mexico at home, inside the Azteca, against England in a World Cup knockout game.

Mexico have been defensively outstanding throughout the tournament, including a 2-0 Round of 32 win over Ecuador. England, meanwhile, have shown flashes of elite quality but were pushed hard by DR Congo before finding a way through.

The winner advances to face the winner of Brazil vs Norway in the quarter-finals.

Why This Game Is Must-Watch

Mexico have the crowd, the altitude, the confidence and the defensive structure.

England have the star power, the experience and one of the most dangerous knockout strikers in world football in Harry Kane.

This could be tactical, emotional, physical and dramatic.

Predicted Lineups

Mexico Predicted XI

Rangel; Sánchez, Montes, Vásquez, Gallardo; Lira, Romo, Mora; Alvarado, Jiménez, Quiñones.

Sports Illustrated also lists this as Mexico’s expected 4-3-3, with Quiñones, Jiménez and Mora highlighted as key attacking pieces.

England Predicted XI

Pickford; Spence, Konsa, Guéhi, O’Reilly; Rice, Henderson; Saka, Bellingham, Madueke; Kane.

Key Players

🇲🇽 Julián Quiñones

Mexico’s most dangerous forward. His pace, direct running and finishing could cause England major problems.

🇲🇽 Raúl Jiménez

A leader, target man and experienced finisher who can hold the ball up and bring others into play.

🏴 Harry Kane

England’s captain remains their biggest goal threat. The Sun reports Kane has five goals in the tournament heading into this clash.

🏴 Jude Bellingham

If Bellingham controls the midfield spaces, England can dictate the match. If Mexico disrupt him, the game becomes much more dangerous for the Three Lions.

Tactical Preview

Mexico will likely look to stay compact, defend aggressively and attack quickly through Quiñones, Alvarado and Jiménez.

England must avoid turning this into a chaotic, emotional game. They need controlled possession, smart use of width and better final-third decision-making than they showed against DR Congo.

The biggest tactical question: Can England break down Mexico before the Azteca crowd takes over?

EXTV Prediction

Mexico’s defensive form and home advantage make this extremely dangerous for England.

But England’s individual quality, especially through Kane, Bellingham and Saka, may be enough if they stay composed.
