England vs. Mexico. England is ranked seventh in the world, boasts a star-studded and extremely valuable squad, and is one of the tournament favorites. However, England has long been controversial, having gone 60 years without a major international title, mainly due to a lack of a commanding leader and a tendency to play individually. In this tournament, England's path to the knockout stage was not smooth sailing; they were held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana in the group stage. Still, they managed to top their group. In the round of 32, they faced difficulties, relying on Kane's brace and a last-minute winner to beat African side Congo 2-1, barely escaping defeat. In the round of 16, they encountered the formidable host Mexico!

Mexico is ranked 14th in the world. As the host nation, they entered the round of 16 with four consecutive wins, scoring eight goals and conceding none—a rock-solid defense. In this match, they faced the super-powered England attack, marking Mexico's true test!

From the start, Mexico dominated possession and attacked fiercely in the first half but struggled to score. England, on the other hand, played an efficient counter-attacking game. Bellingham scored twice in two minutes, stunning Mexico and making their once-vaunted defense look vulnerable. Trailing, Mexico launched an all-out attack, creating danger from set pieces. Quiñones scored to pull one back, making it 2-1 at halftime. In the second half, Quansah received a red card for a reckless foul, putting England in a difficult position. However, Gordon won a penalty, and Kane calmly converted, scoring and assisting to give England a 3-1 lead. After that, England was constantly pressured by Mexico, struggling to hold on. But their defense proved unbreakable; Mexico's relentless attacks yielded nothing. Although they pulled one back via a penalty to make it 3-2, they couldn't equalize. In the end, England withstood the immense pressure and won 3-2, escaping danger for the second consecutive round and earning widespread admiration!

Thus, four quarterfinalists have been confirmed: France, Morocco, Norway, and England. Brazil's elimination is shocking, marking a series of humiliating records—they failed to reach the quarterfinals for the first time in 36 years after losing to Norway. Norway's victory over Brazil is truly surprising, a classic example of an underdog triumphing. Haaland shone on the World Cup stage, turning Norway into a major dark horse. Two quarterfinal matchups are now set: title favorite France vs. Africa's strongest team Morocco, which promises to be a thrilling contest. Meanwhile, dark horse Norway takes on England, with Haaland going head-to-head against Kane. We await the remaining quarterfinalists—let's watch and see. Catch the World Cup on Migu Video!
