England face tournament co-hosts Mexico in a blockbuster last 16 clash tonight and it’s set to be a late night for Three Lions fans.
Chaos ensured on Friday night as FIFA made a U-turn on their decision to bring the crucial game six hours forward.
England booked their place in the next round after fighting back from an early deficit against DR Congo courtesy of a stunning Harry Kane brace.
They now face the ultimate test against Mexico in Mexico City which will be fuelled by their passion for football.
Thankfully for Thomas Tuchel, England are nearing a clean bill of health going into the last-16 showdown.
The two nations have faced each other nine times throughout their history, with England winning six of those encounters.
One notable victory against Mexico came in the 1966 World Cup, the same year England progressed to win the tournament.

England vs Mexico: What’s been said?
Mexico have a home advantage in the fixture, benefiting from a longer recovery time and competing at altitude, which the Three Lions won’t be used to.
The North Americans have scored eight goals at the tournament so far and have yet to concede a single goal.
Thomas Tuchel has been vocal on the challenge his squad is about to take on.
He exclusively told talkSPORT: ““I think the biggest one is the home advantage. It’s a proper home advantage. We will play against 89,000 and we will play against the spirit of the whole country in the capital city. So that is the biggest advantage.
“And of course, the altitude, the adaptation physically to the altitude is in their favour because we are not adapted and they are but we will overcome that. I think we have to overcome it. We want to overcome it.
“We accept it. We will not complain about it. It’s just what it is. Makes life, makes things difficult.”
