Mexico and England are closely matched for tonight’s World Cup match though oddsmakers give a slight edge to the English team. This is Mexico’s 18th appearance in the World Cup and with a win today, the team will match the country’s best-ever finish, when El Tri made the quarterfinals in 1986.
England is one of the oldest national teams in international football, though they have only won the World Cup once, in 1966.
