  1. Thanks all.

    So stay up late, or try to wake up very early.

    Luckily, we've been speaking to a sleep expert to answer that very question...

    Absolutely will be watching. Taking a nap after work, then getting up again for the game. For once being a nurse making the transition from day to night shifts works in my favour!

    Plan is to wake up at 5am, avoid spoilers and watch the match on catch up before work. Hopefully it won't go to ET otherwise a sicky is due

    Let's open up the chat up again.

    Who's watching England vs Mexico at 1am on Monday?

    How will you be watching? And does anyone have huge plans on Monday that they're now going to have to fulfil while very, very tired?

    Don't worry, there will be added on time at the end of this live text to make up for the minutes lost while Jude gets a glass of water and chats tactics with our editor.

    I'm off for a hydration break myself...

    Back to you, Joe!

  10. 'England more than good enough to beat Mexico'

    Former England goalkeeper on BBC One

    The Azteca crowd will believe. There will be a lot of conversations about that Mexico team having nothing to fear, and England will feed on that. England know that if they play to any sort of level, they are more than good enough to beat this Mexico side.

  11. Get Involved- 'Oxgyenation breaks'

    Given altitude, perhaps it would be better to replace hydration breaks with oxygenation breaks?

    Phil, Hove

    I like your thinking, Phil.

    England won’t beat Mexico, let alone win the World Cup. The defence is so bad.

    Joshua, Farnborough

    England won’t be able to play at the same tempo as they have been in Mexico City- the altitude is a real game-changer and two days is nowhere near enough time to acclimatise. Mexico have a massive advantage and I can’t see us getting past them at home

    Rob, Leamington Spa

  13. It seems Peter Reid is confident England can do the job on Monday.

    Let's take a look and see what the readers think.

  14. 'It's difficult to breath at Azteca'- Reid

    Peter Reid
    Former England midfielder

    Former England midfielder Peter Reid, talking to BBC Breakfast about his experience of playing at the Estadio Azteca at the World Cup in 1986:

    "It's going to be difficult in Mexico City," said Reid.

    "The great Sir Bobby Robson took us there a year before the World Cup to acclimatise, but you never really acclimatise.

    "It’s different and the Mexicans are crackers about football and the atmosphere at the Azteca will be unbelievable.

    "It is difficult to breath, it’s harder to catch your breath. We just need to find a way to beat them. We are very difficult to beat.

    "I think we will beat them and I think it will be 2-1 to us."

  15. 'The most demanding place I ever played football'

    Mexico v England (Mon, 01:00 BST)

    Not many English players have played at the Azteca since 1986, but even with advances in sports science and smarter preparation, those who have insist the impact is significant.

    "It's the most physically demanding place I ever played football," says Nigel Reo-Coker, the former West Ham midfielder who played in the Concacaf Champions League final at the Azteca for Montreal Impact in 2015.

    "To come from Europe and play in that altitude is so difficult.

    "You cannot catch your breath. The first 45 to 55 minutes you're literally just trying to keep breathing.

    "It's about football intelligence – you really have to pick and choose your moments where you exert yourself."

    The thinner air also means the ball can move faster when crossed, impacting how matches play out tactically.

    Reo-Coker suggests yoga or pilates can be a big help, while also being aware of how to breathe from your diaphragm.

    The conditions make it difficult for goalkeepers in particular, who might struggle to deal with the flight of the ball and timing of crosses, according to Jason de Vos, who was both a player and coach for Canada when they played at the Azteca.

    "You can legitimately hit a ball and trouble the goalkeeper from 40 yards," says De Vos.

    "You realise immediately that the game is going to be much quicker than you thought.

    "As a coach, you have to change your tactics and adapt to the altitude. You have to change the fact that you want to press all game – you simply can't do that."

  16. 'If we had VAR back then we would have won'- Reid

    Mexico v England (Mon, 01:00 BST)

    Peter Reid
    Former England midfielder

    When asked about that Maradona moment at the Estadio Azteca in 1986, former England midfielder, Peter Reid told BBC Breakfast:

    "I always charge a pound when someone asks me [about the hand of god]," said Reid.

    "The hand of god was a one two move, Steve Hodge knocked it back, I though Peter Shilton was going to get it.

    "I saw him [Maradona] raise his hand and stick it in, so I waited for the referee to blow the whistle, but he didn’t blow up."

    "He [Maradona] wasn’t bad, to be fair. I always take the mick out of a few of the lads for the second goal.

    "I thought Glenn Hoddle got fouled before the goal.

    "If we had VAR back then, we would have been through in that quarter final, a handball and a foul on Hoddle. That’s life."

  17. Last time England played at the Azteca

    The last time England played at the Azteca Stadium was the 1986 World Cup quarter-finals, against Argentina.

    England conceded two goals to Argentina during the match, including Diego Maradona's iconic 'Hand of God' goal.

    Maradona's second goal was named 'Goal of the Century'.

    Argentina went on to with the tournament.

  18. That's all of yesterday's action done and dusted.

    Let's have a look forward to England's trip to Mexico in the early hours of Monday morning.

    Can England manage the altitude, will they beat a Mexico team full of confidence or will Thomas Tuchel and his team be packing their bags?

    Before we do that, we may have to mention a certain goal from a certain Maradona when England last played a World Cup game at the Estadio Azteca...

  19. Can USA win the World Cup?

    USA 2-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina

    Opta say Mauricio Pochettino's team have a 2.32% chance of winning the World Cup and a 6.06% chance of reaching the final in New Jersey.

    They are slight favourites for their last-16 tie with Belgium, with a 50.06% chance of reaching the quarter-final and an 18.39% chance of making the last four.

    Can the co-hosts go all the way?

  20. 'This side certainly are believing'

    USA 2-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina

    Sue Smith
    Former England forward on BBC One

    On how far the USA can go:

    I think the USA have probably surprised people in how they've played and where they've got to so far. I think they're certainly going to give Belgium a test so who knows?

    What Mauricio Pochettino says.. 'believe'. This side certainly are believing that whoever they face, they will challenge them. They've got the crowd behind them, you can see they're really entertained by the style of play.
