With the World Cup now in the Round of 16, there are not many more anticipated matches than Mexico vs. England on Sunday night.
Mexico has lived up to the pressure of being a host country, going undefeated so far in the World Cup with three group stage wins and a Round of 32 victory vs. Ecuador. In fact, Mexico has yet to allow a goal in the World Cup, proving to be a dangerous competitor looking to make a deep run.
Thus far, Julian Quinones has been the team's most prolific offensive performer, as he has three goals in four games for Mexico. In net, Raul Rangel has played in all four matches and made six saves while producing shutouts throughout.
To make the quarterfinals, though, Mexico will need to go through a hungry England team facing high expectations. The Three Lions have been challenged thus far, especially after playing Ghana to a draw, and they were almost eliminated by Senegal on Wednesday.
However, Harry Kane saved the day with two goals in the second half to survive, setting up this powerhouse battle early in the knockout stage. Kane has five goals in four games so far, while everyone else on the team has combined for three total.
This will be one of England's toughest World Cup tests, with Mexico providing a true home-field advantage against the Three Lions. For England to move on to the quarterfinals, the team will have to fight through a rowdy atmosphere.
