what happens if england and mexico tie

If England and Mexico tie in a knockout match , the game usually does not end as a draw. It goes to extra time, and if they’re still level, it’s decided by penalties.

What that means

• Group stage: a tie counts as 1 point each, so both teams share the points.
• Knockout stage: a tie leads to extra time, then penalties if needed.
• If a match is abandoned: officials may reschedule it rather than calling it a draw.

For England vs Mexico

Recent reporting around this matchup says it was a World Cup round of 16 game, so a tie at full time would mean more football, not an immediate finish.

One-line version

In a league or group match , a tie is just a draw; in a knockout match , a tie means extra time and possibly penalties. Would you like the rule explained for soccer group-stage games or knockout games?
