World Cup (Under 20) - Group F Mexico vs Korea DPR

Mexico bounced back from their opening defeat by Argentina with a 3-0 victory over Korea DPR. The win gave El Tri a positive goal difference and leaves them needing only a point against England to be sure of their place in the knockout stages. With that in mind, coach Juan Carlos Chavez may be tempted to opt for a more conservative approach to the one he employed against the North Koreans, despite declaring his intention to respect Mexico’s tradition for attack-minded football.

England, on the other hand, will be more concerned about recording an overdue first victory at the 2011 finals than how they go about it. Brian Eastick’s side will need to win if they are to have any hope of prolonging their stay in Colombia - and that means finding a way to finally break their goalscoring duck at the tournament.

Both teams face the challenge of acclimatising to the heat and humidity in Cartagena, and they will need to adapt quickly if they are to bring their game plans to fruition. The sides are also likely to have one eye on the group’s other match between Argentina and Korea DPR, as they will be keen to discover the final standings and find out who has advanced to the next round.
