England Target Mora to Tame Mexico

Thomas Tuchel's England team looks to contain Mexico's young star Gilberto Mora in their World Cup matchup.

Thomas Tuchel's England team can tame co-hosts Mexico by targeting 17-year-old Gilberto Mora, whose inclusion has transformed Mexico's attacking play. Mora, who doesn't turn 18 until October, has played with veteran authority since being thrust into the starting lineup by manager Javier Aguirre. sos-zagle.org.pl

England must be particularly wary of Mora's right-sided combinations with Jorge Sánchez and winger Roberto Alvarado. The young player, compared to Andrés Iniesta for his quick feet and deftness, has added depth and daring to Mexico's previously functional attack.
