Tuchel seeks calm for England in Mexico showdown

England head coach Thomas Tuchel is demanding composure from his players ahead of their World Cup last-16 match against Mexico in the Azteca stadium.

After a frantic display against DR Congo, Tuchel needs his side to remain calm in the high-pressure environment of the Azteca cauldron. The match, considered one of the biggest in Mexico's history, follows Mexico's victory over Ecuador that secured their place in the knockout stage.

Despite concerns about an incoming storm that could have affected the game, the kickoff time remains at 6pm local time (1am Monday BST) after FIFA considered moving it to midday due to the weather forecast. Mexico is in a celebratory mood following their progression, creating an intense atmosphere for the crucial encounter. ipl-cricket.in
