MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico has spent 40 years chasing a return to the World Cup quarterfinals. On Sunday, its best chance in a generation arrives. Playing on home soil in a venue that has become an almost impregnable fortress, El Tri will face England in the Round of 16 — in what is arguably the most important match in Mexican football history.Mexico boasts an incredible record in official matches at Estadio Azteca.

Now we are facing the co-hosts in the last 16, many have simply made peace with the idea that this is where our World Cup ends. Oh well. We tried.

Mexico have won all four World Cup games without conceding a goal, but now England arrive ready to upset the party.
