British journalist Henry Winter stunned the soccer world by publicly asking the FA to invite Mexico for a friendly at Wembley, following El Tri’s emotional knockout by England in the 2026 World Cup.

The game against Mexico started at 2 a.m. in Britain. Pubs were allowed to stay open unusually late for fans to share the drama together.

We’re about midway through the current World Cup, but much of the media discussion has already shifted focus to 2030, when the next World Cup is scheduled to take place. That’s because FIFA have yet to open the bidding process for U.

The U.S. World Cup match against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday night was the most-watched soccer telecast in English-language history with more than 24.4 million viewers, according to Fox Sports.

England midfielder Jordan Henderson will miss the rest of the World Cup after suffering a severe wrist fracture that will require surgery in post-match celebrations. Henderson landed awkwardly as he slipped while attempting to climb a dasher board after England’s 3-2 win over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium on Sunday night.

The World Cup rights for both the English- and Spanish-language broadcasts in the U.S. will be available in 2030 to the highest bidder.

Mexico players and coaches were disappointed they could not give thousands of fans a win, instead falling 3-2 in a spirited match at rowdy Azteca Stadium.
