England must beware Mexico’s dangerman – but this wildcard could light up the Azteca

AI Summary

England's football team has arrived in Mexico City just 48 hours before their major match against Mexico, facing challenges such as high altitude and a fervent home crowd. The focus is on tactical matchups against Mexico's team under coach Javier Aguirre.

Amid the aura of a legendary venue, concerns over the altitude and a host nation whipped into a fervour over their biggest football match in decades – possibly ever – it has been easy to slip into focusing solely on the romance and the narrative since England football team sealed their path to Mexico City with Wednesday’s strung-out victory over DR Congo. The altitude will play a factor, especially as England appear to have arrived in almost the worst window possible, 48 hours before kick-off. What England must do is focus on their plan and where their match-ups with Javier Aguirre’s team give them a big advantage.
