England are still alive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but only just! After a dramatic late comeback against DR Congo in Atlanta, with Harry Kane scoring twice to rescue the Three Lions, England now face a massive World Cup round of 16 match against Mexico at the legendary Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
In this Football For Kids episode, we look ahead to England v Mexico at the 2026 World Cup, exploring why this match is about so much more than just football. Why is the Azteca one of the most famous stadiums in World Cup history? What happened there with Diego Maradona, the Hand of God and the Goal of the Century in 1986? Why is Pelé’s 1970 Brazil team still remembered as one of the greatest football sides ever? And why could the altitude in Mexico City make this such a difficult night for England?
We also talk about Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Anthony Gordon, Eberechi Eze and England’s chances of beating Mexico in front of a huge home crowd. This is a fun, dramatic and educational football podcast for kids, families, parents, young players and anyone following England at the World Cup.
Can England handle the noise, the history, the thin air and the pressure of a knockout match at the Azteca? Or will Mexico’s World Cup dream continue on home soil?
Get ready for England versus Mexico, World Cup drama, football history, kids’ football storytelling and one of the biggest matches of the tournament.
