Analysis
England enters as slight favourites despite Mexico's flawless group stage. Mexico's aggressive pressing and pace through Lozano could trouble England early, but England's midfield control and Kane's positioning typically win tight knockout matches. The 2–3 scoreline reflects a competitive, high-tempo clash where England's quality prevails in extra time or late stages.
