Three of BBC Sport's World Cup analysts believe England's upcoming clash with Mexico could be the perfect match to draw out the strengths of Thomas Tuchel's side.

Thomas Hitzlsperger, Joe Hart, and Micah Richards all pointed to Mexico's style of play as a factor that could give England the opportunity to express themselves at their best ahead of the tournament.

The assessment from the pundit panel suggests that the nature of Mexico's approach — their pressing, structure, and attacking intent — may suit England's system and allow Tuchel's players to play with freedom and confidence.

England will be hoping to build momentum as the FIFA World Cup 2026 approaches, and pundits feel this fixture represents more than a simple warmup — it could serve as a meaningful test of where Tuchel's project currently stands.
