England advances to 2026 World Cup quarter-finals after victory over Mexico

England defeated Mexico 3-2 at the Estadio Azteca on July 6, 2026, to secure a spot in the World Cup quarter-finals. Harry Kane scored a penalty in the 60th minute, bringing his tournament tally to six goals. He currently trails Erling Haaland, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappe, who lead the scoring chart with seven goals each. Kane was substituted for Rogers in the 90th minute following an intense performance. Post-match, a viral video showed Kane struggling with vocal exhaustion during an interview, which he later humorously addressed on social media. The English team, managed by Thomas Tuchel, is now set to face Norway in the quarter-finals on Sunday at midnight. Kane expressed pride in the team's resilience and effort during the competitive match.
