Initial reactions on X highlight excitement and anticipation for the Mexico vs England round of 16 clash at Azteca Stadium on July 5, focusing on home advantage, altitude challenges, tactical battles, and differing views on favorites.

England are through to the round of 16. This match was very frustrating and tough. Mexico will not be any different. England have to do better offensively if they want to walk it home against Mexico. Mexico have 0 goals against them so far and have home ground advantage.

England now advance to face Mexico in the Round of 16. That should be a fascinating test because Mexico have looked far more cohesive in this tournament.

This will be one of England's easiest games so far. Mexico will have to attack and England will take advantage of them being open at the back as a result.
