Elliot Anderson has said England have gained huge confidence from their World Cup win over Mexico after dealing with the adversity, altitude and atmosphere of the Azteca Stadium.
England reached the quarter-finals of the 2026World Cup after a 3-2 win over the co-hosts in Mexico City. The Three Lions survived Jarell Quansah's 54th-minute red card to grind out a hard-fought win over Mexico, with Jude Bellingham scoring twice and Harry Kane also on target.
Mexico had lost only twice previously in competitive games at the Azteca Stadium, and hadn't been beaten at the venue in 13 years.
Anderson admitted it was a massive performance and result from Thomas Tuchel's side. The midfielder said England have gained huge confidence from their gritty display, ahead of facing Norway in the last eight this weekend.
The fixture, kicking off at 10pm (BST), will be played at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida
