Prince William has commended the England football team for their impressive and historic triumph over Mexico, propelling the Three Lions into the quarter-finals. The Prince of Wales was quick to send his congratulations to the team following their 3-2 victory at the Azteca Stadium, marking the first instance of England defeating Mexico at their home turf. In a social media post shortly after the match concluded in the early hours of the UK, the prince, a devoted Aston Villa supporter, cheered on the team, saying, “Well done England! Bring on the quarter final!”
Fans nationwide stayed up late to witness the heroic performance, with supporters filling numerous bars and pubs for the late-night showdown, thanks to the Government extending opening hours to accommodate the match. England will now face Norway in Miami on Saturday after Erling Haaland’s two goals against Brazil secured their spot in the quarter-finals. Prince William, also the President of the FA, participated in a podcast hosted by NFL star Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce to discuss the tournament.
The thrilling match kicked off after a delay due to thunderstorms, with England playing with 10 men in the second half after a red card and penalties awarded to both sides. Thomas Tuchel expressed mixed emotions following the win, particularly concerning Jordan Henderson’s injury during the celebrations. Despite the challenges faced, the England boss praised the team’s mentality and determination in securing the victory.
