Summary

FIFA is deliberating a potential time change for the Round of 16 match between Mexico and England, set for July 5 at Estadio Banorte. Originally scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, reports suggest the kickoff may move to 2 p.m. ET due to expected weather conditions, including a high chance of afternoon rain and thunderstorms in Mexico City. This meeting is pivotal as both teams are among the tournament's strong contenders, and such weather concerns had previously affected Mexico's match against Ecuador in the group stage. No official announcement has been made regarding the time change.
