England defeated Mexico 3-2 in the Round of 16 at Estadio Azteca early morning UTC, Monday, advancing to the quarterfinals against Norway.

Mexico, as co-hosts, entered the match with strong home support and momentum after beating Ecuador 2-0 in the Round of 32. Mexican fans had previously disrupted Ecuador's preparations with loud noise outside their hotel. They attempted the same tactic against England.

England tried to keep their hotel location secret (reportedly booking multiple options) and arrived in Mexico City amid a hostile reception. Hundreds of fans booed the team bus upon arrival. Heavy security followed, with over 100 riot police in bulletproof vests, a fence, Guardia Nacional officers, and other measures (including a police dog and drone) around the hotel—likely the JW Marriott in Santa Fe.

Despite these efforts, hundreds of Mexican fans gathered late Saturday night. They used loudspeakers, horns, drums, trumpets, music, chanting "Mexico," revving engines, and fireworks in a "serenata" to disrupt the players' sleep. Police kept most fans at a distance, pushing some back ~200 meters, and the hotel's soundproofing helped limit the impact. England still faced a raucous atmosphere at the Azteca. The match itself was delayed about an hour by severe weather.

England took control with Bellingham's two rapid first-half goals--in the 36th-and 38th-minute--assisted by Bukayo Saka and Kane. Mexico pulled one back quickly Julián Quiñones' 42nd minute volley before halftime. In the second half, England went down to 10 men when Jarell Quansah received a straight red card after dangerous challenge on Jesús Gallardo, around the 54th-minute. Harry Kane's 69th-minute penalty restored a two-goal cushion for the English.

Mexico got a 69th-minute penalty back through Jiménez Raúl Jiménez after another foul involving Kane.

England then defended resiliently for the rest of the match, with standout performances from goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and winger Anthony Gordon helping them hold on despite Mexico's pressure and home advantage.

This was Mexico's first World Cup loss at the Azteca (a historic venue for them), ending their run and extending their wait for a quarterfinal appearance since 1986. England avenged some historical ghosts from their last visit to the stadium.

England will face Norway (who upset Brazil 2-1 in the Round of 16, with Erling Haaland scoring twice) in the quarterfinals, this weekend in Miami.

The U.S. Navy suspended the active search for a missing sailor from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 5 aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) on Sun (July 5), following an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter crash in the Arabian Sea on Wednesday.

On Wednesday at about 3:30 a.m. ET (0730 UTC), the MH-60S helicopter conducted an emergency water landing in the Arabian Sea while operating under the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility. US Navy has been escorting ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz near Omani corridor. This has been a flashpoint since the US-Israel-Iran war, as Iran insists on controlling transit through the strait, accusing the US of breaking both countries' memorandum of understanding.

According to a statement by US Naval Forces Central Command, there is no indication the MH-60S helicopter emergency landing on July 1, was caused by hostile action, and the cause of the incident remains under investigation.

Three crew members were recovered shortly after the incident and remained aboard the carrier in stable condition. The search for the remaining MH-60S helicopter crewmember, which lasted over 102 hours and covered 14,000 square miles, concluded after three of the four crew members were rescued and found in stable condition, while the fourth remains missing.

The extensive search effort involved the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force, including aircraft from Carrier Air Wings 7 and 9, helicopter squadrons from the USS George H.W. Bush and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), two P-8 Poseidon squadrons, and multiple Air Force aircraft. Several Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers also participated, including the USS Ross, USS Donald Cook, USS Higgins, USS Mason, and USS John Finn.

The identity of the missing sailor is being withheld until at least 24 hours after next-of-kin notification is complete, per Navy policy.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were officially married on Friday, in a star-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City, following months of secrecy and speculation. The event, confirmed by Swift's publicist Tree Paine at 7:30 p.m., featured Adam Sandler as the officiant, with no traditional bridesmaids or groomsmen; instead, Swift's brother Austin Swift served as "man of honor" and Kelce's brother Jason Kelce was the best man.

Sandler reportedly delighted the crowd with a 'funny' and 'touching' service. "It was very funny, quite a long speech. I think everyone had a good time," he said

Both the bride and groom wore custom Christian Dior Haute Couture outfits designed by Jonathan Anderson, with Swift's look marking the designer's first couture wedding dress for a high-profile celebrity; her jewelry was by Cartier and shoes by Christian Louboutin.

The wedding hosted about 1,000 guests, including a vast array of celebrities from music, film, and sports such as Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Stevie Nicks (who performed), Bradley Cooper, Hugh Grant, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Steven Spielberg, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Tom Brady, and numerous NFL stars.

Despite the massive scale, attendees described the transformed arena as an intimate "secret garden" with peach-colored decor, where the couple exchanged self-written vows that were both emotional and charming.

The Empire State Building lit up in blue as Swift's "something blue," and the couple donated $26 million to charities, including $2 million to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. The celebration extended late into the night, with the MSG jumbotron displaying "JUST&T MARRIED," a nod to their shared initials.

Security was intense, with street closures and heavy police presence to manage the crowds of fans and media outside during a heatwave.
