England's World Cup last-16 game against Mexico is set to take place at 1am on Monday morning. The match presents a unique challenge for the team, and their manager has expressed concerns about the game's timing and location.
The manager believes that children in England should be allowed to stay up late to watch the game, given that the World Cup only comes around every four years. He thinks that the support of the children is crucial for the team's success.
The game will be played at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, which is located at a high altitude of around 7,200ft above sea level. This is likely to create difficulties for England's players, as the thinner air means less oxygen is taken into the bloodstream.
Mexico, on the other hand, have played all their matches at high altitude, giving them an advantage in terms of physical adaptation. Their team has also been impressive defensively, having not conceded a goal at the World Cup so far.
The manager acknowledges that the altitude will be a significant disadvantage for England, but believes that his team is ready to face the challenge. He thinks that Mexico's advantage in terms of altitude is a significant one, but that England will have to deal with it.
