Thomas Tuchel has some big decisions to make in his England side as they head into their round of 16 game with Mexico in Mexico City. England may be the higher-ranked side, here, but they're not clear favourites. The Azetca - as it is usually known - is a truly horrible place for visiting teams. Mexico have lost just two competitive games there ever. The altitude, the heat, the humidity, the tens of thousands of passionate home fans: everything seems to be going against England here.

FIFA have dramatically abandoned a controversial proposal to bring forward England’s World Cup round-of-16 clash against Mexico after fierce pushback from both football associations. The world governing body initiated emergency talks regarding a sudden schedule change, sparking widespread anger among team officials before completely reversing their decision.
