Well, Mexico fans, it’s looking good. You have glided into the last 16 of the World Cup with ease. Four games, four wins and not a single goal conceded. And you have finally broken your habit of losing in the first knockout stage at World Cups. Your win against Ecuador this week was your first in a knockout tie since you beat Bulgaria at the Azteca Stadium in 1986. And your reward? Another big match at the Azteca. This time it’s England in the last 16.
Are you feeling confident? What is the mood in the country – how is excitement building in Mexico City before the match? Are you enjoying being one of the three co-hosts? Has the experience exceeded your expectations? What is your prediction for the England game? How far will your team go? And who will win the tournament?
