4 Jul
Summary
- Match time initially planned to be brought forward significantly.
- English and Mexican football associations expressed anger.
- Final decision reverted the kick-off time to the original schedule.
The World Cup last-16 tie between England and Mexico experienced a period of significant uncertainty and chaos on Friday. A five-and-a-half-hour span saw Fifa initially proposing to advance the match start time by six hours. This proposal met with considerable anger from both the English and Mexican football associations. Ultimately, the governing body reverted the decision, and the kick-off time remained as originally scheduled. The match is set to take place in Mexico City at the Azteca stadium, commencing at 18:00 local time on Sunday. For viewers in England, this means the game will begin at 01:00 BST on Monday, requiring late viewing or early rising to watch the event live.
