England under Thomas Tuchel will take to the field in the World Cup round of 16 against Mexico in the early hours of Monday at 01.00 British time, in Mexico City on Sunday at 18.00 local time. Ahead of the match, the manager dismissed concerns about the reception the English team would receive and described Mexican fans as respectful, even though security measures around the fixture have been tightened. sport.sk ↗
England began the tournament with a win over Croatia, then drew with Ghana before closing out the group with a 2-0 victory over Panama. In the round of 32 they beat the Democratic Republic of Congo 2-1 after a late comeback, with Harry Kane scoring twice to avert elimination. El Pais ↗
Ahead of the clash with Mexico, the high altitude in Mexico City remains a talking point. Tuchel had already warned that the players would not have enough time to adjust, and after arriving he also spoke of mild headaches. He also dismissed media speculation that the team might use Viagra to cope with the thin air, saying this was not part of England's plan. BBC News ↗
Mexican coach Javier Aguirre said the confusion surrounding the kick-off time has no bearing on his team. Meanwhile, in England some schools have decided to open later on Monday to ease the pressure on parents after a night spent watching the match. The duel at the Azteca Stadium will therefore be both a sporting and an adaptation test for Tuchel's side. n-tv ↗
