Former French football star Thierry Henry has warned England that they will be in trouble if they concede first against Mexico in the World Cup. Henry, who won the World Cup with France in 1998, believes that England's players will struggle to adjust to the altitude at the Azteca stadium, which is around 7,200ft above sea level.
The Azteca's high altitude is a significant disadvantage for England's players, who will have no time to acclimate to the conditions. Henry predicts that if England starts the game poorly, they may struggle to come back against a strong Mexican team that has yet to concede a goal.
England's star striker Harry Kane has a reputation for rescuing his team from difficult situations, but Henry doubts that he can do it again. "You can't start like that and you're not always going to have that cooling break that can give you a little chance," Henry said. "Harry Kane can be in a situation where he can open up any team at any moment, but you can't start like that."
Henry's comments come after England's 2-1 win against DR Congo, where Kane scored a crucial goal to rescue his team. However, Henry believes that England will face a different challenge against Mexico, who have shown their strength and determination in their previous match.
