xCruzo Brief
A standout World Cup Round of 16 match is set as Mexico hosts England at Estadio Azteca on Sunday, with both teams aiming to reach the quarterfinals. Mexico has lost only twice in competitive matches at the stadium since it opened in 1966, the most recent defeat coming in September 2013 versus Honduras. England’s memories of Azteca include Diego Maradona’s 1986 goals in a 2-1 win over the Three Lions, but coach Thomas Tuchel said the team is not seeking revenge. England will also face Mexico City’s altitude. In the same tournament window, France beat Paraguay 1-0 with Kylian Mbappé scoring his 19th World Cup goal, advancing to play Morocco.
