After a solid group stage, El Tri arrives with confidence and the hope of advancing to the quarterfinals, repeating historic feats in World Cups.
England, for its part, arrives as one of the title contenders, with a squad full of Premier League stars.
Javier Aguirre maintains the core of the lineup
Coach Javier Aguirre has decided not to change the lineup that achieved the important victory against Ecuador in the Round of 32.
The ‘Vasco’ has complete confidence in the eleven players who gave him the win and will maintain the same core group to face England, prioritizing the cohesion and familiarity the players already have with each other.
The goal will continue to be guarded by Raúl Rangel, backed by a solid defensive line that has shown great form and has yet to concede a goal: Sánchez, Montes, Vásquez, and Gallardo.
In midfield, Aguirre will repeat the formula that allowed him to control key matches, with Lira, Romo, and Morita. Up front, the attacking trident remains unchanged: Alvarado, Quiñones, and Jiménez.
