England aims to end its long wait for a FIFA World Cup title when it faces Mexico in the round of 16 at Azteca Stadium. Harry Kane led a comeback victory over DR Congo in the previous round, scoring the winner after trailing early. England appeared headed for elimination after an early goal by the opponent but equalized in the 75th minute and secured the win late. The match against Mexico starts at 1:00 AM BST on Monday, creating a scheduling issue for families during the school year. In his post-match comments, manager Thomas Tuchel asked parents to write a school excuse so children could watch, noting the tournament occurs only every four years and support from young fans is important. Kane extended his World Cup goal tally to 13, moving past a previous record held by a Brazilian player and ahead of another English scorer on the all-time list.
