The Estadio Azteca is the quintessential World Cup venue and one of the most formidable away days in soccer. Mexico’s record there could hardly be any stronger, losing just two competitive matches at the mythical stadium in 57 years. El Tri’s home advantage is a real thing.

England have the talent to leave Mexico City with a place in the World Cup quarter-finals. However, Thomas Tuchel’s team must reach a level that has evaded them at the tournament so far. Harry Kane can’t dig them out of every hole, as he did in the comeback win over DR Congo.

Another heavyweight clash will take place in New Jersey where Brazil and Norway will face each other. The five-times winners have grown into the World Cup with every match they have played while Erling Haaland and co. are living up to their billing as dark horses.

Here is your complete guide on how to watch today’s World Cup games, including kick-off times, broadcast networks, and online streaming options.

What to watch for

Brazil are far from a perfect team, but Carlo Ancelotti is finding solutions to their problems. The comeback win over Japan in the round of 32 highlighted the quality of a team that was written off by some early in the tournament. This might not be a vintage Brazil outfit, but with Ancelotti in charge they have momentum.

Norway also have momentum after seeing off Ivory Coast in the last round. Most encouraging for Stale Solbakken was that Haaland and Martin Odegaard didn’t even play all that way. Instead, the likes of Antonio Nusa and Oscar Bobb stepped up to get Norway through. They’re more than just a one (or two) man team.

Player to watch: Vinicius Junior, Brazil - There will be no shortage of star power in New Jersey for this match, but Vinicius could be the most electrifying, and influential, player for either team. If the winger turns up, Brazil could have the edge.

What to watch for

Four games, four wins. Eight goals scored, zero conceded. Mexico’s progress to this point has been serene and Javier Aguirre’s side have genuine hope that their World Cup will continue for at least one more round. El Tri are still targeting ‘quinto partido’ even if it’s now a ‘sexto partido’ in the expanded format.

England’s World Cup campaign has been a rough one so far. Indeed, Tuchel’s team have yet to find top form, struggling through games against Ghana, Panama and DR Congo. And yet the Three Lions still have the talent to be a factor towards the end of the tournament. This will be their biggest test so far.

Player to watch: Harry Kane, England - Were it not for Kane, DR Congo might have set up a last 16 meeting with Mexico instead of England. The Bayern Munich striker might be the best player in the world in his position right now.
