Mexico meets England at Azteca as Brazil draw Norway in World Cup round of 16
Two fixtures carry the weight of entire tournaments. Mexico's altitude and crowd get their test; Brazil's depth meets a Norway side still learning what its first knockout round demands.
Desk note: Wire coverage of the Mexico–England tie is split between Mexico's altitude narrative — which Aguirre himself has tried to take off the table, per ESPN — and England's status as favourite, which SportsLine's odds reflect. Monexus frames both fixtures as format tests, not identity tests.
