The Three Lions made it to the World Cup final with great difficulty
England fans are in a state of anxiety ahead of their 2026 World Cup clash with Mexico, not only because of the Three Lions’ fluctuating form, but also because of bad memories of the expected stadium.
The English team will meet Mexico in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup at the Azteca stadium next Monday. This came after a 2-1 win over Democratic Republic of Congo today, Wednesday..
According to Bleacher Report, this will be the first time England have played at the Azteca Stadium in nearly 40 years, specifically since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
In that match, the Three Lions faced Argentina in the quarter-finals of the World Cup at the Azteca Stadium, and the game ended with a 2-1 victory for the men of legend Diego Armando Maradona.
The match saw Maradona score two historic World Cup goals, the first in the 51st minute when he handballed the ball and the second in the 55th minute when he dribbled past 5 England players and was voted the best goal of the 20th century.

It is true that after that, Gary Lineker scored a goal for the England team, precisely in the 81st minute, but it was not enough to return and reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.
