We will be facing Mexico in their own stadium after the Congo game . Thats if we are not taken to penalties on Wednesday.
Yes we are CAPABLE of beating them but we need to grow into this tournament with a morale boosting victory and performance. |  | | |  |

Well that would be interesting as since the Azteca opened in the 1960's Mexico have played 47 World Cup or World Cup qualifying games there and won 40 of them, lost 2 I believe. |
Whilst this might be true, the vast majority of those games will have been qualifiers against other teams within CONCACAF, with the majority being absolute minnows against the likes of Mexico, so it's no wonder their record reads so well.
As for the altitude, I think too much is being made of that.
Mexico may have won all 3, but they're really not as a fearful as everyone is making them out to be. |  | | |

If we play against DR Congo like we did against Ghana and Panama, I doubt we will even progress to play Mexico. Our attacking options are good but defensively we look very vulnerable. |
Whilst I don’t disagree, the facts are that we didn’t concede against either of those yet struggled to score. These ‘attacking options’ you speak of need to start creating a few chances from time to time. |  | | |

Was surprised by their weather forecast for Mexico City… multiple forecasts stating 24c and a bit of rain.
Could be a factor in England performing - altitude aside.

CDMX is pretty much like that year round, although possibly minus the rain. The altitude negates the latitude, makes it one of the best cities in the world for some lazy tourist swanning if you can afford the nicer parts. |  | | |
