England's World Cup quarter‑final path reshaped after Argentina’s comeback

England advanced to the World Cup quarter‑finals with a 3‑2 victory over Mexico at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca, overcoming a thunderstorm, a red card for Jarell Quansah and a penalty conceded by Harry Kane. Their next opponent will be Norway, whose striker Erling Haaland scored twice as the Scandinavians stunned Brazil 2‑1.

Meanwhile, Argentina erased a 2‑0 deficit against Egypt in the last‑16, scoring three goals in 17 minutes – Cristian Romero, Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernandez – to win 3‑2 and avoid a potential upset. England now face the prospect of meeting Norway, Brazil‑beating Norway and a Messi‑led Argentina on their route to the final.
