POLL OF THE DAY: Will England win the 2026 World Cup?

Published: 12:00, 6 July 2026 | Updated: 12:16, 6 July 2026 England overcame hostility, altitude and Jarell Quansah's red card as Thomas Tuchel's side edged a 3-2 blockbuster against World Cup co-hosts Mexico to set-up a quarter-final clash with Norway. The back-to-back European Championship finalists faced all manner of obstacles heading into Sunday's last-16 tie at the majestic Estadio Azteca, where kick-off was delayed by an hour due to a storm. England started well 7,350ft above sea level when the last-16 tie eventually got under way, Jude Bellingham's quickfire brace silencing supporters whose hopes would be revived by Julian Quinones before the break. Mexican belief grew further when right-back Quansah was sent off for a clumsy challenge early in the second half, only for Tuchel's team to immediately respond through skipper Harry Kane's spot-kick. Raul Jimenez added a penalty of his own to increase English nerves, yet the visitors showed defensive nous and togetherness to win on a wild night in Mexico City. A date with Norway in Miami this Saturday is the reward. Now, it's time to have your say in the Daily Mail's latest poll – will England win the 2026 World Cup? In the last poll, Mail readers were asked: 'Will you stay up to watch England v Mexico at 1am?' Out of more than 1,300 votes, 76 per cent of you said 'no' and 24 per cent said 'yes'.
