Mexico has established a dominant presence at the iconic Azteca Stadium during the World Cup, boasting an impressive record of four wins with no goals conceded. This commanding performance has fueled aspirations among their fans, who believe the team is capable of achieving "the impossible."
Should England overcome their own Round of 32 tie against DR Congo, they could face Mexico at the Azteca Stadium. This potential matchup is generating excitement among football enthusiasts but presents a formidable obstacle for England.
Despite never having reached the World Cup quarter-finals, Mexico's current tournament form—four games played, four victories, eight goals scored, and zero conceded—has ignited hopes for a deep run. Fans are drawing confidence from the team's momentum and their formidable home record.
"England have the Ballon d'Or favourite Harry Kane leading that team," one fan remarked, acknowledging England's star players such as Jude Bellingham. "You have players like Jude Bellingham, and it is scary, but with the momentum we have there is the chance to do the impossible."
Mexico's competitive record at the Azteca Stadium is striking: 69 wins from 88 games, with 17 draws and only two defeats. Furthermore, they remain unbeaten in 10 World Cup matches played at the venue. While the quality of opposition at the Azteca has varied, their historical performance suggests a daunting task awaits any opponent in the last 16.
"The whole nation is behind them - we've seen the scenes," commented former Australia and Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou. "If it will be England going down to Mexico, it's going to be like stepping into a different World Cup for them."
