Overview
- England beat Mexico 3-2 at the Estadio Azteca on July 5, overcoming altitude, a weather delay and VAR interventions to reach the World Cup quarter-finals.
- Jarell Quansah was shown a straight red card in the 54th minute, leaving England with 10 men for much of the second half and raising the prospect of a suspension.
- Harry Kane converted a second-half penalty that proved decisive, taking his tournament tally to six goals and his overall World Cup total to 14.
- Kane's hoarse BBC post-match interview went viral and he posted a video the next day confirming his voice had returned and calling the original clip an 'all-timer'.
- The squad has returned to its Kansas City training base to rest and prepare to play Norway at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, July 11, where fitness and discipline will be key after the draining Mexico game.
