England's potential World Cup quarter-final against Brazil or Norway will kick off at 10pm UK time on Saturday, June 11, at Miami Stadium, provided they overcome Mexico in the last 16.
England's Path to the Quarter-Finals
The Three Lions face Mexico in the round of 16, with the match scheduled for 1am UK time on Monday morning in Mexico City. The Azteca Stadium presents a formidable challenge, as the co-hosts have won 70 of their 89 matches there, with the 2,200-metre altitude adding to the difficulty.
If England prevail, they will meet the winner of Brazil vs Norway, which kicks off at 9pm UK time on Sunday. Brazil, five-time world champions, have been unconvincing but remain unbeaten, while Norway have suffered just one defeat to France in a strong campaign.
England's Record at Miami Stadium
England have played twice at Miami Stadium, also known as Hard Rock Stadium, both in friendlies. They drew 2-2 with Ecuador in their second-to-last warm-up before the 2014 World Cup and played out a 0-0 draw with Honduras several days later.
Head-to-Head Against Potential Opponents
England's record against Brazil is poor: in 27 encounters, they have won just four times, with the most recent triumph coming in a 2013 friendly. Brazil have 12 wins over England. Their most recent World Cup meeting was in 2002, when the eventual champions eliminated England in the quarter-finals 2-1, courtesy of Ronaldinho's infamous lob over David Seaman.
Against Norway, England have a stronger record: seven wins, three draws, and just two defeats. The most recent meeting was a 1-0 friendly win in 2014.
Immediate Task: Mexico
England cannot afford to overlook Mexico. The last-16 tie in Mexico City kicks off at 1am UK time on Monday. The Azteca Stadium has been a fortress for Mexico, who have won 70 of 89 matches there. The altitude of 2,200 metres presents a distinctive challenge for the visiting team.
