Why England’s Mexico triumph is one of their best-ever World Cup wins

In the cauldron of the Azteca Stadium, England got it done.

The Three Lions are through to the quarter-finals of the World Cup after a thrilling 3-2 win over Mexico. Against all the odds – altitude, the fans, Mexican momentum, VAR calls – Thomas Tuchel’s side overcame it all to progress to the next stage. And once again, it was the Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane double act.

Kieran Jackson and Miguel Delaney dial in from Mexico City to discuss the magnitude of England’s win, Tuchel’s spot-on tactical calls in the second-half and what it means moving forward to Norway in the last eight. We also discuss Folarin Balogun’s ban being “suspended” by Fifa and Erling Haaland’s brilliant double, which sent Brazil home.
