Kane said England must beat altitude and a partisan crowd as they chase a fifth tournament goal in a stadium linked to Maradona's 1986 heroics.
- England faces host nation Mexico in a World Cup last-16 tie on Sunday evening at Estadio Azteca, where Thomas Tuchel's squad must overcome altitude and a partisan crowd to advance.
