In a highly anticipated match at the World Cup on Sunday, England will face co-host Mexico at the iconic Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. The Azteca, home to an infamous goal scored by Diego Maradona against England during the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals, is situated at over 7,300 feet above sea level, posing a significant challenge for the English team due to the harsh conditions and limited time to acclimate. With Mexico boasting an undefeated record in 10 World Cup games at its home stadium across three tournaments, England coach Thomas Tuchel acknowledges the altitude as a substantial disadvantage. Elite athletes typically require an extended period of adaptation to perform optimally at high altitude, but with England departing from its base in Kansas City on Friday, their acclimation will be limited. Despite the difficulties, Tuchel believes strategic hydration breaks could prove crucial in turning the tide of the match, as they did during England's round of 32 encounter against Congo. The Azteca holds a bitter history for England, having witnessed Argentina eliminating them in the quarterfinals four decades ago. However, Tuchel remains optimistic, asserting that "karma will come back" for England and they will turn the tables on their historical foes. James Robson provides coverage of the event.
