England-Mexico World Cup match set for 1am UK start

England’s World Cup last 16 match against Mexico will remain at 6pm local time (1am UK) after Fifa decided against moving the kick-off forward due to thunderstorm concerns.

Fifa held discussions regarding a potential six-hour shift in the kick-off time due to adverse weather forecasts for Mexico City. However, a final decision has been made to keep the original schedule.

Thunderstorms were forecast for Sunday, causing initial concerns, but officials confirmed the knockout game will proceed as planned. chickenroad-game.rodeo
