Mexico out after 3–2 loss to England, European moves await

England 3–2, your World Cup ends in the last 16

England knocked Mexico out of the World Cup on Saturday with a 3–2 win in the round of 16 (1). Harry Kane scored and assisted on the night. Mexico fought, scored twice, but could not find the equaliser. The tournament as co-hosts is over.

European moves coming for Mexico's young squad

Several Mexican players could head to Europe after this tournament, with scouts watching closely throughout the World Cup run (5). Gilberto Mora, at 17 the youngest player in the competition, has already drawn interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. An £18.7 million release clause has been reported. Others in the squad performed well enough to put themselves in the shop window.

England move on to face Norway

England's reward is a quarter-final against Norway this Saturday (2) (3) (4) (6). Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard await. The Three Lions will need to handle Norway's attacking threats if they want to go further. The match kicks off in the evening.

Kane's golf round with Trump

Harry Kane told a strange story after the match. He played golf with US President Donald Trump during the tournament. "When the President invites you somewhere... It was a pretty surreal experience," Kane said. "His golf is pretty good, to be honest" (1).

Fan reactions

Beyond the result, some fan groups raised serious concerns. Three Lions Pride and Pride in Football issued a joint statement about homophobic chanting aimed at England fans during the match at the Azteca, calling the behaviour widespread and disappointing. The conversation among supporters has shifted toward accountability in the stands. Read the full statement.
