Next opponent: A daunting trip to the Azteca Stadium awaits England if they beat DR Congo after Mexico brushed aside Ecuador 2-0 in their last-32 tie.

That made it four wins in a row for the co-hosts, who are yet to concede a goal.

Date and kick-off time: That game is scheduled for Sunday night, July 5, local time.

For the massive UK audience, that will mean staying up late or setting an alarm for a Monday 1am kick-off.

The altitude factor: Beyond the hostile crowd, Mexico City's altitude poses a brutal physical obstacle for visiting European players.
