England are one win away from the World Cup quarter-finals. If they defeat Mexico in the round of 16, they will face Erling Haaland's Norway, who stunned Brazil 2-0 on Sunday night. Norway have never played a World Cup quarter-final before, giving England an edge in experience.
England's Path So Far
Thomas Tuchel's side topped Group L with two wins and a draw, beating Croatia, drawing Ghana, and defeating Panama. That set up a round-of-32 clash with DR Congo, where Harry Kane's late brace saved England from a humiliating defeat.
Round of 16: Mexico
England face Mexico tonight (1am UK time) at the Azteca Stadium. Mexico have lost only two competitive games at this venue since it opened in 1966.
Quarter-Finals: Norway
If England beat Mexico, they will meet Norway in Miami on Saturday, July 11 at 10pm kick-off. Norway eliminated Brazil thanks to a Haaland brace, marking their first ever World Cup quarter-final appearance.
Semi-Finals
England's side of the draw means their semi-final opponent will be one of Switzerland, Colombia, Argentina, or Egypt. Holders Argentina, with joint Golden Boot leader Lionel Messi on seven goals, are the likeliest opponent. The semi-final is set for Wednesday, July 15 in Atlanta at 8pm kick-off.
Final
Should England overcome both Brazil and Argentina, they would likely face Spain or France in the final. Both pre-tournament favourites have been formidable. The final is on Sunday, July 19 in New Jersey at 8pm kick-off.
