At 2,240 metres above sea level, England prepares to meet Mexico at the Estadio Azteca — a place where the air is thin, the crowd is fierce, and history casts long shadows.

In the theatre of knockout football, adaptation is not merely physical — it is a posture of the mind, and England's manager seems determined to model exactly that.
