The Athletic FC.
Hi, I'm Jack Lang, football writer at The Athletic.
And I'm here in Mexico City where on Sunday, England will show up to play Mexico in the last 16 of the World Cup.
The Estadio Azteca is about an hour south of here, depending on traffic, which can be interesting.
And I think that stadium could play a big role in what we see happen on the pitch.
Mexico haven't lost there in well over a decade.
They've only lost eight games there in their entire history in about 150 matches.
And their record there at the World Cup is particularly good.
So this is the third time Mexico has welcomed World Cup games.
And they've played there 10 times in that stadium and they haven't lost one of them.
A lot of clean sheets in that as well.
They've kept four clean sheets so far this competition.
So it's going to be a tough team to break down.
They're very good defensively.
There's the altitude to worry about.
We're at about 2,200 metres.
When I have a run, sometimes in the morning, it does take my breath away.
I'm not an elite athlete, granted, but
The scientists I spoke to before the World Cup suggested it was more than enough to impact athletic performance.
And then there's the atmosphere.
