England defeats Mexico 3-2 to reach World Cup quarter‑finals

England beat the host nation Mexico 3‑2 in the round‑of‑16 match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, advancing to the quarter‑finals where they will face Norway. The win was highlighted by a celebratory mood in the English camp, but former striker Wayne Rooney warned that the team’s exuberance might be premature and noted the increasing injury list, including midfielder Jordan Henderson’s wrist injury.

In Japan, the match was not broadcast on terrestrial TV; it was available live and on‑demand through the streaming service DAZN, with a recorded version on NHK’s BS‑4K channel.

The result keeps England on a historic run, its first potential title since 1966.
