Mexico Fans Dream of More Wins in the World Cup, Singing ‘What if We Do?’

Mexico’s undefeated team has revived hopes of a first quarterfinal appearance in 40 years, while England worries about raucous fans.

  • Mexico plays England on Sunday in the World Cup, aiming to reach the quarterfinals and match the nation's best results from the 1970 and 1986 World Cups held on home soil.
  • Playing at Estadio Azteca offers Mexico significant advantage, as the city's altitude of over 2,200 meters has historically favored the team in previous World Cups.
  • Energized by 17-year-old Gilberto Mora, Mexicans celebrate a revamped team undefeated throughout the tournament, ending a 40-year wait to reach this stage.
  • Following deaths during previous celebrations, Mexico City authorities promised increased security measures and capped attendance at the Angel of Independence for Sunday's expected crowds.
  • The English team is keeping its base hotel secret to prevent Mexican supporters from repeating the "unbearable serenade" they delivered to Ecuador before the previous match.
