Mexico and England are set to meet in the World Cup Round of 16, a highly anticipated matchup that was delayed by one hour due to weather conditions. The kickoff time in Mexico City is now set for 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
Team Background
England is ranked No. 4 by FIFA, while Mexico is ranked No. 10. Mexico has won all four of its games so far without conceding a goal, most recently eliminating Ecuador 2-0 in Mexico City. England is coming off a late 2-1 Round of 32 win vs. DR Congo, with Harry Kane scoring a late brace to save the Three Lions.
Norway awaits the winner in the quarterfinals after eliminating Brazil 2-1 thanks to an Erling Haaland brace. The altitude of Mexico City Stadium has been a major talking point, as England players are not accustomed to its effects.
