World Cup 2026: What problems could Mexico pose England on the pitch during their last-16 clash?

England are playing at high altitude on Sunday. You may have heard. But what other challenges will Mexico bring to the last-16 World Cup tie?

The location of the Azteca Stadium and the physical demands it will put on Thomas Tuchel's squad have dominated the build-up to this crunch knockout clash in Mexico City.

The late drama about the kick-off time and forecast for storms in the area has added to the focus on the environmental conditions England will face.

Meanwhile, the threat the flying co-hosts carry has received less attention - but should not be underestimated…

Quinones is Mexico's top scorer with three goals and added to his strike against Ecuador last time out with an assist for Raul Jimenez.

His high-speed running in and out of possession poses a big problem for opposition sides and he loves a shot. Mexico look for him at every opportunity, sending the majority of their attacks down the left flank.

Quinones, 29, plays his club football in the Saudi Pro League for Al Qadsiah, where he is managed by Brendan Rodgers. England have to find a way to stop him.
