Marcus Rashford: No matter what the situation is, we will do everything we can to win.

England striker Marcus Rashford stated ahead of the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 match that the team is fully prepared for the upcoming challenge and is looking forward to experiencing the unique atmosphere of Mexico City. The match will be held in Mexico City, where England will compete against hosts Mexico for a place in the quarterfinals. The England team has already arrived at the match venue to prepare.

Speaking about the upcoming match, Marcus Rashford said: "I think this is our team's strength. No matter what difficulties we face, we are ready. Essentially, it's just a football match. No matter how the situation changes, we will do our best to win."

The match will be held at the Mexico City Stadium, which has a capacity of 87,523 spectators. This will be England's first return to the stadium since their quarter-final match against Argentina in the 1986 World Cup.

Speaking about the atmosphere at the match, Marcus Rashford said: "We hope to fully experience everything about this game. The stadium is spectacular, and both sets of fans will create a very passionate atmosphere. Hopefully, the game will be exciting enough, and we will ultimately win."

Marcus Rashford started against Colombia and scored in the opening group stage match against Croatia. Speaking about the team's form, he continued, "We know very well what kind of team this is. If problems arise in a match, we are also capable of finding solutions."

"This mentality permeates the entire team, both the players and the coaching staff are consistent. We are full of confidence in ourselves, and we know that games often do not go as expected, but this kind of situation is not unfamiliar to us."

“Mexico did perform well defensively, but no defense is impenetrable. The key is whether we can find a way to break through, which is another new test for us. We will face many excellent players and strong opponents in the future, and these are problems that must be solved. We are full of confidence and will definitely give our all on the field.”
