FIFA World Cup 2026: Mexico and England
Mexico
Co-hosts Mexico haven’t only won all four matches in the FIFA World Cup 2026, but they have also not conceded any goals in this competition yet. In the group stage, they beat South Africa, South Korea, and Czechia by 2-0, 1-0, and 3-0, respectively. In the Round of 32, they claimed a 2-0 win against Ecuador. Here’s the Mexico FIFA World Cup All Time Records and Stats
Mexico’s best World Cup records were qualifying for the Quarterfinals, which they recorded twice in the 1970 and 1986 editions. Interestingly, in both those editions, Mexico hosted the tournament, and El Tri are dreaming similarly for this edition to first qualify for the Quarterfinals to set a new goal for the tournament.
England
The 1966 World Cup champions England started the World Cup 2026 with a 4-2 group stage win against the 2018 runners-up Croatia. In their next two group stage fixtures, while they recorded a goalless draw against Ghana, they claimed a 2-0 win against Panama to secure the top place in Group L. In the Round of 32, England claimed a 2-1 victory against DR Congo, where the Three Lions made a comeback from 0-1 behind. Here’s the England FIFA World Cup Records and Stats
England last time suffered a World Cup Round of 16 defeat in the 2010 edition, while in the last two editions, they reached at least the Quarterfinals (including the fourth place finish in the 2018 edition).
