England-Mexico World Cup match kickoff delayed due to severe weather

The World Cup Round of 16 match between England and Mexico, scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET, has been delayed by one hour due to severe weather conditions in Mexico City. FIFA had considered rescheduling the match but decided to keep the original time, only to push it back shortly before kickoff. This game at the Azteca Stadium is significant as England seeks its first World Cup win since 1966, while Mexico looks to maintain its home advantage. The new kickoff time is now set for 9 p.m. ET, or 7 p.m. locally.
