Mexico-England World Cup Round of 16 to Proceed Despite Storm Risk
FIFA said the World Cup round-of-16 match between Mexico and England will be played at 8 p. m. at Estadio Azteca despite a forecasted thunderstorm. Earlier, the BBC reported that FIFA had moved the kickoff to an earlier time to avoid the predicted heavy rain. Deadline later noted that the game, originally set for 6 p.
m. local time, could be shifted to a noon kickoff, although FIFA had not confirmed any change. The New York Times added that FIFA was still discussing an earlier start while similar considerations were under way for the Brazil-Norway match. Yahoo Sports reported that FIFA ultimately rejected the proposals and confirmed the match will go ahead as scheduled at 8 p. m.
