World Cup 2026: England v Mexico
Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson was interviewed by BBC Radio 5 Live commentator John Murray in the Azteca Stadium on Saturday, 24 hours before the pair are due to commentate on live coverage of Mexico v England.
They discussed the impact - or lack of it - they felt of being at high altitude, with the ground 2,240m above sea level.
"You [John Murray] were here for the opening game and you didn't really feel too much, did you? And we have been here two days now," said Robinson on BBC One.
"I mean, I am on the sixth floor of the hotel, you're on the fifth, and I think that's the most altitude that I have felt since I have been here.
"I think the word is the longer you stay here the more you feel it, so England, I think, have done right by arriving late. They will just play the game and then get out.
"So the way I am seeing it now, as an ex-player, looking at the atmosphere and the way that I feel, I don't think there is going to be an issue, I really don't."
