William urges England on to quarter-final after battling win against Mexico

Prince of Wales William urged England on to the quarter-finals after the Three Lions battled Mexico to a 3-2 win in their World Cup last-16 match in Mexico City. Joining millions of fans celebrating late into the night, he posted encouragement for the team after an intense game marked by 11 minutes of added time. Thunderstorms near the Azteca Stadium on Sunday caused a one-hour delay, moving kickoff to 2am UK time due to lightning risk. England played much of the second half with 10 men after Jarell Quansah was sent off following a VAR review, while both teams were awarded penalties. Harry Kane’s second-half penalty proved decisive. The win triggered nationwide celebrations, comments from MPs, and even a congratulatory post from U.S. President Donald Trump.
