- England continues its bid to end 60 years of hurt after securing a 2-1 victory against DR Congo in their opening knockout-stage fixture.
- The Three Lions are now set to face co-hosts Mexico in the last-16 at the Estadio Azteca.
- The game was originally scheduled for 6pm local time on Sunday (1am Monday BST) but could be moved up by six hours to 12 noon in Mexico (7pm BST) due to a forecast severe thunderstorm, though FIFA has yet to confirm the change.

- The tournament's final could see England compete against top-ranked Spain, assuming both teams advance through their respective knockout matches.
