England take on Mexico in the World Cup’s Round of 16 this evening, in what will be a massive occasion at the Azteca Stadium.The World Cup co-hosts are set to provide a tricky test for Thomas Tuchel and his side, who will be looking to make an impact in the latter stages of the tournament.Ahead of the clash, we remember England’s last five Round of 16 games at the FIFA World Cup.England 3-0 Senegal (2022)England swept aside Senegal in the 2022 last 16, overcoming what had been dubbed a tricky tie with ease. After Senegal had carved out some early openings, England took control when Jordan Henderson swept in from Jude Bellingham’s centre.From there, the Three Lions powered into the quarter-finals. Harry Kane doubled the lead before half-time, completing a swift counter attack involving Bellingham and Phil Foden. The win was wrapped up before the hour, when Foden’s cross found Bukayo Saka to turn in a third.Colombia 1–1 England (AET) – England won 4-3 on penalties (2018)England overcame their shootout hoodoo to edge past Colombia in 2018, triumphing on penalties for the first time in a World Cup fixture.Harry Kane’s penalty looked to have won England the tie in normal time, only for Yerry Mina to score a dramatic equaliser for the Colombians in stoppage time. The teams were unable to be separated during the additional period, with penalties deciding the contest.It looked set to be heartache for England once again after Jordan Henderson’s miss, but Mateus Uribe struck the woodwork to leave the shootout poised. Jordan Pickford – who made a stunning save from Uribe in normal time – then stopped Carlos Bacca’s effort, allowing Eric Dier to seal England’s first shootout win at a major tournament since Euro ’96.It was the Three Lions’ first win in the knockout stages of a World Cup since 2006.

Matthew Upson’s header gave England a lifeline, before a moment of controversy denied Capello’s team an equaliser.

Thomas Muller scored twice for the Germans after the break, as England crashed out of the competition in embarrassing fashion.England 1-0 Ecuador (2006)England reached the quarter-finals of the 2006 tournament after a 1-0 win over Ecuador, with Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side making hard work of their South American opponents.The Three Lions underwhelmed in an unconvincing performance, one that saw David Beckham’s fine free-kick secure progress to the last eight.The England captain bent home a brilliant set-piece that crept inside the near post and past Cristian Mora in the Ecuador goal.

Emile Heskey completed the rout a minute before half-time, with Sorensen at fault once more as he allowed a well-struck shot to squirm under his grasp.Embed from Getty Imageswindow.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'saC7MvSTRPx2MOAZWbj7NA',sig:'AUfVyuIABIe0sTgR5z7pw20mv4qhIKYdZHwRubFh-ng=',w:'594px',h:'388px',items:'166165199',caption: false ,tld:'com',is360: false })});It was comfortable and convincing from England, words not always associated with performances in the World Cup’s knockout rounds. Their run would end in the last eight however, as eventual champions Brazil won a memorable contest in Shizuoka.Read – World Cup Moments – Beckham red begins road to redemptionRead Also – Five of the most iconic players from the 2002 World CupFollow the Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | TikTokThe post Remembering England’s last-16 games at the World Cup this century first appeared on The Football Faithful.
