After an double from Harry Kane to spare them from an shock defeat to DR Congo by scoring twice in the last 15 minutes.

England will be taking on Mexico at the Azteca Stadium, one that is memorable for England not necessary for the right reasons at it was 40 years ago where they exited to Argentina which gave us the 'Hand of God' and 'Goal of the Century'.

For Mexico they have an more comfortable path to the last 16 and their record at the Azteca is quite something, they've played 89 matches there, won 70, drew 17 and lost just two.

The game will be a late one for England fans is at 1am (BST Time) live on the BBC with commentary from Guy Mowbray and Alan Shearer (what joy).

Tuchel asking parents to let kids stay up. "Plenty of school. This is once every 4 years" he said.

3-2 England is my prediction but we got out in QF to Brazil.

I'm sure with every kid having a smartphone these days the ones that do want to watch it will find any way they can.

Oh am sure they will lol.....just got a Smartphone at age 66. trying to fathom it. HELP!

I can't justify staying up for this when I have work the next day, which is a shame as it does seem like it'll be a great match, England would likely win in any other setting, but with a home crowd at the altitude like this and with Mexico winning all their matches without conceding so far (albeit not really facing a top tier team yet), it'll be a harder fight. Wouldn't be surprised if it goes to penalties.

I'm in Liverpool this weekend for Magic Weekend and staying till Monday afternoon (God bless the 12pm check out of Premier Inn) so I will be finding somewhere to watch this.

The altitude, the atmosphere... everything will be against us and the environment will be hostile, Mexican fans are very passionate and make a lot of noise.

It's England, we can't seem to go a tournament without the drama of ET/Pens so I am fully expecting that outcome for this game.

I missed England's match against DR Congo yesterday but will tune in for this one. This is bound to be England's toughest test so far and they will have to put in a good performance to win, no way they can win by playing lethargic football.

You would hope that the BBC show an full replay of the match at 8am.
